Just a week and a half after announcing that he would be leaving Florida and transferring, sophomore forward Alex Tyus has changed his mind and will return to the Gators. "The University of Florida is where I want to be," Tyus said in a statement. "I truly feel this is the best place for me to continue to grow and improve and I look forward to this upcoming season." Tyus met with head coach Billy Donovan last Thursday night to discuss his change of heart, and the meeting went well. "It's great to know that his heart is here at the University of Florida," Donovan said in the statement. "I know he will work hard." Tyus averaged 12.5 points and 6.2 rebounds per game this past season.

"The first time he went out was for a quick trip, basically watching a basketball game. He was pretty excited about going out to Notre Dame this time." Atkins was the Baltimore Catholic League Player of the Year this past season, and chose the Fighting Irish over Massachusetts, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Vanderbilt, VCU, Indiana and Ohio State.
