MBB Orange & Blue Game (11/2 at 7 PM)

I take it you weren’t there Wing.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

Got a recap for you.

Golden, Gators Have Some Orange & Blue Fun - Florida Gators

 

Been told Condon, Haugh, and Szymczyk (who’s still rehabbing) are the real deal….with size and skill. All three maybe under the radar a wee bit post HS.

 

Chris, how did Mr. Rishwain look in the scrimmage? Moving okay?

 

Some guy on 'X' posted that Haugh will be All-SEC next season.
That's good speculation to hear but I don't think he needs that kind of expectation heaped upon his shoulders.

 

Scrimmage, not sure. I did see he made the finals of the 3 point shoot out.

 

Welcome to Gator Country...

Sounds like we're ready for the season to start. Can't wait.

 

20-19.not that it matters.

Action was fast paced with good plays on offense and defense. With the mixed lineups and short session it wasn't possible to judge much other than guys looked fast and athletic. There were some smooth shots and Kugel had short hair. lol

Haugh and Condon played well. Very quick for their size and a lot of hustle.

No one looked lost or hesitant. This is going to be a very fun team to watch.

 

He’s way ahead of schedule, but even Julian would say he’s still working to game shape. His quote in my story about scrimmage-ending sequence suggest as much.

 

Yes 8 months away from the game and it seems awfully fast. Just needs more game speed reps

 

I'm hoping we can build a big lead in the opener so that he can maybe get a few minutes on the court.

 

Here are Florida's projected starters' preseason scrimmage stats

G Walter Clayton: 7-for-22 FG, 24 points, 5 rebounds, 13 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks

G Will Richard: 13-for-20 FG, 39 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 5 steals

G Riley Kugel: 14-for-22 FG, 39 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists, 7 steals

F Tyrese Samuel: 14-for-17 FG, 29 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assist, 3 steals, 2 blocks

C Micah Handlogten: 7-for-12 FG, 16 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 block

 

Me thinks Richards is our 6th man

 

Not for the opener. Pullin isn't available yet.

 

Correct, but not a Gainesvillian

 

Looks like our second team will be pretty tough also. Aberdeen/Kahn’s, Richards, Haugh, Condon and Rishwain. Shimmy and Pullen on the way!
Let’s start the next week with a win. Go Gators.
Mid January we will start seeing a starting team come together and the off the bench pieces enter and and keep the team scoring and defending as needed. We should be a high scoring team and if we can play tough on defense, we will have a shot to beat anybody. Slow down teams like Virginia and Texas A & M put the scare into me in that these guys want to get a man on man with one of their brutes, a whole deferent game. If we can learn to compete and win in a slow environment, come tournament time this would be a blessing. BRING IT ON………

 

You live near Gainseville within two hours?

 

It's a new season and we're still unbeaten. Anyhow, I think the Gators will be better than most expect.

 

Just far enough to bitch about attendance without feeling obligated to show up.
