    We got some length on this team. I know JK is leaning down in this photo, but our new Gators got some length.

    In that huddle pic, Coach Todd is thinking, "Hmm, he's got one year of eligibility left, we can open up a walk-on spot, shmooze the NCAA with something like him being an ambassador for the game..."

    Back-to-back, baby! Who else can bring in alums that can say that, and point to the championship floors to prove it?

    Why does that chair in the background have the Miami logo on it? Looks like Miami colors on the floor as well. I guess this was not taken here at home.

    They're in Miami. The other pic shows the logo on floor. They said there would be a scrimmage with the canes. Guessing that has happened.

    If you ever are in discussion with Tar Heel fans, just remind them about their program has never been back to back! Tell them history loves the Gators, LOL…..

    Alex Condon may be the closest thing to Joakim we've had since Joakim. 6'-11", runs the floor like a greyhound, non
    Go back to the post above yours and click on the Reddit link. There's a string of 'X' videos there. Awesome to watch. Pullin hit the game winner.
    Miami is a preseason #13 and playing on their home court. Even though it doesn't count, this is a GREAT sign for the Gators.

    I thought that just one of the play’s involved Condon.

    Is it just me or does Joakim look like Fidel Castro?

    Yeah, in the secret scrimmage (or "scrum" in Aussie footy), he's highlighted just once. I was referring to him overall from other clips I've seen and from things I've heard. But it's perhaps way too early to compare him to Joakim.

    That would be awesome, but considering his thoughts on Cleveland, I doubt Joakim would live in Gainesville for any extended period of time. :D

    Cleveland had a great symphony and it has the Rock and Roll HOF.

    And Chrissie Hynde.
