Florida’s basketball future just got a major boost as they lock in official visits this weekend with two elite prospects: top-ranked 2027 point guard Beckham Black and rising 2028 forward Colton Hiller. Black, averaging 16 points and 9 assists, brings elite court vision and scoring versatility, while Hiller, the Gatorade Player of the Year, dominates with 23 PPG and a powerful all-around game. With Duke hot on Hiller’s trail, Florida’s edge? His brother Maxwell is already committed to play football for the Gators. This could be the biggest recruiting weekend in Gainesville in years — and fans are already buzzing.

Florida’s basketball program is on the verge of a major recruiting breakthrough as they host five-star guard Beckham Black — ranked No. 1 overall by ESPN and brother of NBA star Anthony Black — along with top-2028 small forward Colton Hiller. With key players set to graduate and no commitments yet for the next two classes, landing these elite prospects could be the catalyst Florida needs to rebuild its roster and future. While Texas currently leads in the race, the Gators are pushing hard to turn this visit into a commitment — and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
