Florida coach Mike White admitted Monday morning that the Gators are in the market for prospective transfers to bolster their roster for the 2016-17 basketball season, and later Monday afternoon ESPN reported on one potential option.

According to ESPN's Jeff Goodman, College of Charleston guard Canyon Barry is considering Florida as one of his finalists, along with California, Kansas, Louisville, Miami, Northwestern and Ole Miss.

The 6-foot-6 guard averaged 19.7 points for the Cougars last season before a shoulder injury sidelined him after 13 games. As a graduate transfer, he would be eligible to play immediately.

Poor guard play troubled Florida throughout the season, with a dearth of shooters on the perimeter limiting what the Gators were capable of doing offensively. Florida finished 289th nationally in 3-point shooting percentage, at just 31.9 percent as a team.

Barry is a career 34.4 percent 3-point shooter.
