Decided, with the rest of Floridas starting five, to return to gainseville for one more season to try and repeat as NCAA champions.  Noah is a tough inside presence, and when he plays with energy, the Gators don't lose

Plays with great energy and passion ... A fierce competitor, has the same drive to win as his tennis great father Yannick Noah ... Great leadership ability, inspires his teammates to raise their level of play ... Passes well from the high post, or when doubled inside ... His ability to create shots for others is rare for a big ... Has shown tremendous improvement from his freshman to sophomore season ... Incredibly long wing span allows him to get dunks and rebounds that most players could not ... A finesse player with good fluidity and agility in the open floor ... Touch is decent around the basket ... Free throw shooting has shown solid improvement ... Good shot blocker because of his length ... Raises his level of play in important games ... Still learning the game

As of April 1st, 2007, he's projected to go number 6 in the NBA draft.  Look at all those freshman up top!  Apparently Hortford is projected to be drafted higher
