Despite winning the 2025 National Championship, the Gators' 2026 men's basketball recruiting class has been coming along slowly. And by that, I mean they literally have zero commitments at this point.
However, they've been active in the recruitment of a slew of top-100 prospects in the class, one of which just announced Florida made his Top 8.
2026 Shooting Guard Jasiah Jervis has Florida in his Top 8
Jervis, a four-star shooting guard from New York and a top 50 recruit in the country according to On3 Sports, trimmed his list of potential colleges to eight on Wednesday.
Jasiah Jervis, Rivals’ No. 23 overall player in 2026, has cut his list to eight schools, he tells @Rivals.

Jervis plays for Archbishop Sepinac High School, the same high school that Arkansas transfer and rising sophomore Boogie Fland attended before college.
The two guards played together for two consecutive seasons spanning 2022-2024, combining to average 29.2 points during the 2023-24 campaign.
Their relationship creates a unique opportunity for Fland to contribute to the Gators basketball program before he ever steps onto the hardwood, as he could operate as a recruiter for Jervis.
Jervis boasts a different skillset than Fland, serving as more of a pure scorer and elite shooter at 6-foot-5. Per MaxPreps, Jervis shot 45 percent from three-point range as a sophomore and knocked down 40 percent of his attempts as a junior. He averaged 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.8 steals per game.
On film, it's easy to see why Jervis has elite shooting splits. He has a pure stroke from beyond the arc with a high release point that makes it difficult for defenders to impact or block. He doesn't hesitate to shoot contested jumpers, and his consistent upper-body movement makes him a knock-down shooter off screens or off the dribble.
He's been rising up the rankings during 2025, and has shown a much stronger all-around game without Fland in the mix. Jervis shows flashes of a tight handle and some of the slashing ability he'll need to take another jump offensively, and if he can grow into a better facilitator, Jervis could be an elite college player.
