Not all of the underclassmen will be returning to the Florida basketball team next season.

Freshman Jimmie Sutton has decided to transfer to Florida Atlantic.
Sutton did not play as a true freshman because of a recurring knee injury that caused swelling every time he worked out. After Florida's national title run, Florida coaches worked out Sutton back in Gainesville and there were still issues with his knee.

He returned to Deerfield Beach to get another opinion on his knee and decided to transfer rather than return to UF for his redshirt freshman season.
Sutton suffered a torn ACL in April.

The 6-foot-10, 252-pound Sutton was considered a project when he signed with Florida in 2005 after averaging 12.5 points and 10,5 rebounds at North Broward Prep. He was expected to fill the role occupied by departing senior Adrian Moss this season if he was healthy.

Florida now has a scholarship available and 6-7 forward Dan Werner from Lincroft, N.J., who signed with North Carolina State before getting his release because of the coaching change, will make an official visit soon. Werner is also considering Notre Dame among several other schools and could end up re-signing with N.C. State if new coach Sidney Lowe completes work on the undergraduate degree required to coach college basketball.
