Hodge only reminder of ’05 class | Gatorsports.com)"Sutton, who signed a letter of intent… the previous November, tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in March of his senior year in high school. After surgery, Sutton arrived at Florida for the summer session eager to make an impression.
"I wanted to be out there during conditioning, be part of the team," Sutton said. "I may have pushed it a little bit."
The knee, in a brace, didn't respond as well as Sutton and the UF coaching staff had hoped. Florida red-shirted Sutton after he sat out the month of November.
"I wasn't frustrated," Sutton said. "The way I looked at it I had a chance to watch some great guys in practice (Horford, Noah and Chris Richard) and learn from them."
The season ended with a national championship, but after Sutton underwent medical evaluations during the course of the season, he decided to transfer to Florida Atlantic University, closer to his native Deerfield Beach.
"The knee was the issue," Sutton said. "They had questions about whether I would recover. I think I left on good terms. Coach Donovan made a bunch of phone calls on my behalf."
Sutton stayed at FAU briefly before enrolling at Central Florida Community College in Ocala, where he's played the last two seasons. After laboring through sprints last season, the 6-foot-10 Sutton said his knee is fully healthy. He's shooting 68 percent from the floor this season.
Sutton, who is planning to enroll to play at FAU next season, said he watches Florida games when he can."
