Name: Walter Hodge
Height: 6' 0"
Height: 6' 0"
Position: Guard
Class: Junior
Nickname: El Walter from Puerto Rico
El Walter is the oldest player on a very young team. Very few teams will get picked to even come close to 3rd in the SEC east with No seniors and only one junior. This team will be light on experience. They are already giving Billy Donovan back spasms, but you can't really count out a Billy Donovan team because they are all young.
El Hodge has played from the bench and started about 11 games in his two years at Florida. It should be expected to see him playing the shooting to Freshman Jai Lucas's point. With 50% shooting from beyond the arc his play will be key for this team. His Three point shooting actually has a higher percentage than Lee Humphrey, but with Humphrey taking about 200 more 3's than Hodge last year, don't expect him to be the same deadly threat, especially as offenses will be able to key in on Hodge with the rest of the lineup not being nearly as formidable.
Hodge needs to step up and become a leader for this team. He and sophomore Marreese Spights are the only players with solid playing time returning to this team. The biggest worry for Donovan will be if Hodge starts getting into Foul trouble. Even in sparing minutes last year Fouls became an issue for Hodge.
