    @akaGatorhoops , what happened to your post postulating whether Walter Clayton Junior is the best Gator hoops player ever? Because, unequivocally he is!

    I am in awe of his play :)

    He lowered his shoulder and just rammed into him. Clearly Charging to the nth degree. The fact these refs called it was a mir ra cle!

    I have said numerous times this year, he takes too much time to get his shot off around the rim. He tries to dribble which gives up others time on defense to hack him or steal the ball or he looks like he is thinking how do I shoot this. If he could stay over the summer and just work on inside moves, quickness getting them off and using the glass and see improvement in his offensive game. Become comfortable on two or three inside moves, it would allow to make the defense to work harder on him tiring them out when he goes outside, he would get more separation for his open threes. Just playing on a national team in the summer doesn’t allow for him concentrating on an overall offensive game and make him a lottery choice. His choice. I love Condon in his quickness and toughness, team-mate, but he is still slim so be the best you can be. Go Gators and Alex Condon, a raw talent that can, with work, get to be a lottery windfall in the making.

    Ok thanks
    EVERYONE HAS TO DO THEIR BEST FOR US TO WIN.
    Whatever it takes to win..by everybody.
    Just me…I don’t need any more predictions, he had betters, this guy didn’t do that, he ought to do that, Houston is this, on and on.
    Eric says Houston will crowd the paint..give us threes, and then hope they can score at the other end.
    I might be wrong here ( I’m not) but I think CTG actually know what the ##@@ he is doing. He will set the battle plan. Just cheer the BOYZ on. Just give all the “ coaching” a rest. If we win..we will be ecstatic.
    If we don’t…take all the pi$$ing and moaning outside. We don’t need any more guidance. This season is already a miracle.

    I like the fact that Golden needed to light a fire at the half against Auburn because I have the feeling it will still be burning Monday night.

    Yes!

    And Condo did make key plays that don’t show up on the stat sheet. I noticed them live. He’s due for a big game hope it’s tomorrow!

    Had a bunch of tip outs which I’m 99.9% sure those don’t show up as rebounds

    Agree. I wish he would stop throwing lazy passes that get stolen easily. But he does make good passes which creates an assist. He needs to realize that constant good routine plays outweighs occassional highlight reel plays.
    More coaching from UF coaches in his inside moves as you said, as well as cutting down on his mental mistakes will certainly help his draft stock.
