They also cover us, oh, all the time.

I've heard MANY ESPN analysts say we may be the best team on the country. I've seen many studio conversations about our defense.

The media does not hate/ignore UF nearly as much as some may wish/think.

His knee was scoped right? Recovery time is minimized with that procedure. I feel good about a dedicated guy like Will making it back in time for the post season.

I had my knee scoped, too. Was playing baseball again within about 3, 4 weeks. Admittedly basketball is much different on the knees than is baseball.

If you were swinging a bat, it is different but still baseball puts plenty of torque on the legs.

Eh. I played through high school, on scholly at a different school and a little bit longer than that.

It's still very stressful on the knees, but the actions are so much different in basketball. All of the pivoting and jumping in basketball is unrivaled in baseball unless you're catching.

i do actually think it could help us in grooming Frazier and getting Prather back into the fold....hopefully come the end of the season, he can help out a little

If you were betting, the safer bet would be he's shut down until next season.
I really believe the gators spin of post-season availability is to keep the seeding committee from factoring his absence into our seed. They do that and it really make it a much tougher road. And less likely for sweet 16 round, where I think he would be slightly more likely to be available again.

You keep saying this. You said this on another thread. The committee isn't going to knock our seed because Yugeute is out especially if they have a month to see what we do without Yeguete. If we were to lose a player like boyton, Young or Murphy near the end of the regular season or the SEC tourney, then I could see the committee knocking our seed(Like they did Cincinnati in 2000 when they lost Kenyan Martin ). They won't do it because we lose a role player in early Feb.

For the seasons above, I don't think BD is trying to play games with the committee. He is saying this because Yeguete wants to get back on the floor and the prognosis says he could be back.

Isn't this just the equivalent of an arthroscopic surgery?
I always thought this was a quick "bounce-back" procedure.
Why wouldn't he be ready in a couple of quick weeks?
