'Condominium' trend for return, since the gators are close to the full strength near the full strength

Athens, GA. – – Alex Condon Dressed in the LSU on Saturday evening and went through Florida's pre-game warming up. It was unlikely that the second striker was playing against the Tiger, but used the fact as further training, another step to get back on the floor for the gators.

That was three days ago, which means that a few more steps have been taken since then.

 

Alex Condon Saturday at LSU



“I feel pretty good,” said the 6-foot 11, 230 pound Australian and team rebound leader on Monday. “Just take my time with my recovery and make sure that I don't switch back.”

It was exactly two weeks since the Condon broke the floor 30 seconds after the game of UF on February 11th in Mississippi State. The scenario was reminiscent of the one who played with Senior Point Guard and a leading goal scorer Walter Clayton Jr. 10 days earlier in Tennessee. In both cases, the Gator evades serious injury balls. The same applies to the hip gods Alijah Martin on February 4 against Vanderbilt.

Clayton missed a game, Martin missed two and Condon (who dismantled his 30 seconds in Starkville) four. However, their UF teammates have hardly missed a blow.

The third-placed gators (24-3, 11-3) are in a winning streak of six games-the run matches these three starters, which are not available in combined seven games-and now take a closer look at the full strength when you Rival Georgia (16-11, 4-11) on Tuesday evening in the Stegeman Coliseum.

Condon was fully listed on Monday during training and was the “questionable” in the first availability report of the game on Monday evening.

“I think he will play unless something happens in training” Todd Golden Said on Monday on Monday and made it possible for both the team and players to take care. “He was very close on Saturday. I think he wanted to play. He played a little bit. But the way we could do it with Walt and Alijah, we just don't want to bring it back, of course, every game feels for us in the SEC like the Super Bowl, but we also want to make sure that we are ready for March.


On Monday, “condominium” ran repetitions with front line rotation players. Even alternately in the line-up with 7-1 minus Micah handlogsA front court combination that has not been together on the floor for almost a year. It was a “big” and nice sight.

UF Junior Center Micah handlogs (3) had six rebounds, three at the offensive end of the offensive, in his third game back on Saturday at the LSU.

But it was the memory of handlogs that suffered his gruesome compound fracture in the Southeastern Conference tournament championship on March 17 on March 17, which in the moments after jumping an inbound passport and landing at the foot of the State of Mississippi , RJ Melendez, at the game at the game on the game first possession on February 11th. He collapsed to the ground and reached for obvious pain.

“Pretty frightening,” said Condon. “It somehow reminded me when the crowd got so quiet.”

After coaching had been worn from the Humphrey Coliseum floor, the trainers who had not occurred to structural damage, which X-rays soon confirmed.

Main coach

Jon Michelini

But Condon joined the list of Gators – a lengthy one that soon included Backup strikers Sam AlexisAlso injured in the Mississippi State -in the UF training room requires additional attention, which Golden called “M*A*S*H unit” last week. That would do head coaches Jon Michelini and graduate Tyler Hrubes the “Hawkeye” and “Trapper John” of the team. These two plus student assistants Preston Dill have been generally praised for their work by coaches and players in the past few weeks.

“Great scream of training, man!” Said Martin.

Golden also praised his health staff and strength/conditioning coordinator Victor Lopez. The players have their collective care and their teamwork ready to go.

“We did great internal to be on the same side and to communicate really well, with these boys who executed what is going on on the ground floor to get them to get them [players] Right, “said Golden.” We talk every day where they are. No cornering balls. Nobody surprised. We have a good understanding of what is going on and have so far been able to control these injuries pretty well. ”

Six consecutive games without at least one starter (one game without two). Six victories in a row.

Yes, pretty good.

Of course, Handlogte's selfless decision should not be made to do without a medical red shirt and to get the active list late in the season. Or start center Rueben Chinyelus The latest inspired games from four consecutive double-digit points, including an outstanding 19-point performance with 13 boards in the weekend victory at the LSU when the Gator needed more punch.

Condon enjoyed it from his place on the bench, but hopes that they will soon contribute to this special season.

“Everyone is reinforced,” said Condon. “Micah made a big decision to come back. And Tommy's leadership was particularly great. Rue. It was all crucial for us.”

Just like the later return of Condon (maybe against the Bulldogs on Tuesday?)
