Florida basketball head coach Todd Golden provided insights on Denzel Aberdeen's waiver process in an interview with On3. The process was postponed until the NCAA approved its new age-based eligibility model. Aberdeen, who is preparing to meet with his legal team next week, previously played limited minutes as a freshman, which Golden believes strengthens his case for eligibility. The Gators will take legal action if necessary and consider Aberdeen's age and academic status as favorable factors in pursuing the waiver.
