Two Gators Get Legal Lifelines | Florida Gator Basketball News

Two former Florida Gators, Xaivian Lee and Micah Handlogten, are getting a second shot at college basketball thanks to landmark legal victories against the NCAA’s eligibility rules. Lee, who’d already used up his eligibility, secured a temporary restraining order in California, clearing the way for one final season — and plans to enter the transfer portal before August 25. Handlogten, fighting for a medical hardship waiver, won a court ruling in Colorado granting him a fifth year, with NC State, Ole Miss, and USC leading his transfer interest. Both players are seeking new homes as Florida’s roster is full for next season. These rulings highlight the ongoing legal battles reshaping NCAA eligibility, especially for athletes caught between old and new rules — and could signal a major shift in how college sports handles player retention.
