Gators Micah Handlogten Provides Positive Update on Injury Recovery good free article. "“I mean, it sucks,” he said. “I want to be able to play this year, but it's something I've already accepted. It's a new role I've already accepted too, go out there and just support the guys and be the No. 1 supporter.” As for a potential timetable, Handlogten expects to return to practice as a non-contact participant by mid-December..."
Micah is wise not to come back this season because he'd be so far behind in conditioning and reps, and there's almost no chance he'd get back into the starting five this season. I'm glad he's working on using both feet. That will help him improve jump shooting and will put less stress on the fracture. If he just works on jump shots, free throws, footwork, and positioning for defense, he'll be an NBA prospect after his junior season. Love the guy!
Apart from offensive skillset issues, the kid really needs to ramp up his physicality and ability to defend without fouling to compete in this conference. Hope the staff is able to work effectively with him in that regard during this gap year.
Umm... he was already competing in this conference. He had the highest rebounds per minute average in the SEC.
