I remember losing Yeguette back in 2012 and Donovan moving Bradley Beal in his spot. Hope it works if White decides to go with Stone or switch to a 4 guard(smaller) lineup.

I'll just pass on my psychiatrist's advice : "No! Let me!"

Had a really bad feeling as soon as I saw the replay of his injury last night. Sucks something awful, but it's a great chance for Hayes to step up and become a man.

The equal hurt will be to our depth, yielding a tiring out at defensive intensity.
I told Rimmer he'd better have an epiphany.
He asked, "Is that where the femur goes into the hip-socket?" ... I think he's in Pre-Med?

Well:
1. This is terrible for Egbunu whose season ends in a surgery two years in a row.
2. If UF was to lose a player, it was best that it was at the center spot where UF had 4, now 3, players.
3. It is not ideal that Gak is also hurt for a few games.
4. If you lose a starter and have one of his back ups also injured for a while rather than respond with racism, you should count your lucky stars you have 6'10" 245 lbs guy who was good enough to be signed to a power 5 conference scholarship at a good program and excellent school and chose to leave after a year to transfer back to your school because like you claim about yourself he is a fan of the school.
5. Rimmer is a solid defender, can grab a rebound and has a decent shot. He should maybe be coached to take the five foot shot rather than take the ball to the rim. He made need to play a bit more like Hayes last year, picking up garbage points, defending and rebounding. Rimmer will be outclassed in terms of athleticism, but he can make up for that with smart play.

Too much can go wrong with those 2 methods. Thy this - but make sure you're up high enough.

So very sorry for what's happened to this young man. My wish for him is speedy rehab that makes him into a total beast of a big man for his next Gator season, ASAP.
Seriously, we must get Rimmer better contact-lenses. Let's pray that with Rim's knowing how more crucial he is to his buddies that he will up his play. And surely, all the time he's had "almost-making" the team, he can improve. Stone will improve & increase his contribution, I believe he has more to give. Then gotta wish Hester comes in as a sure-fire 3-machine. From here on our "old stars" have to unfalteringly shine, along with new stars rising earlier than scheduled.
Rick Barry is part owner of a basketball shoe company (medically & physics-based design) shown to cut down on the # of ankle injuries. Are we using them already? Surely, Canyon is using them.
White's gotta get us a big 240+ lb center for next year. Boy, college basketball teams are too thin in #. Gotta have a rule change.?

The biggest drop will be defensively. Egbunu made our defense work due to his size, weight, and ability to block shots.
Hayes is more of a help defender and Rimmer probably couldn't block Chiozza in the post.
I just hope Rimmer steps up his offense as well. He can make FTs (might be his best asset) and seems to know where to be, but he has to stop getting his shot blocked by everyone...including 4'9" guards on D2 teams lol

Can Canyon up his pts/minutes towards that 30 he got vs Auburn? We now certainly cannot survive cold shooting ... not even short spells of it.? One thing, this will certainly make this a better team for next year.

He's not tall (6'8"), but Stokes is around 280 pounds.

Gak is about as raw as it gets, other then soaking up some fouls I wouldn't expect much from him.

Gonna need him at PF next year for sure
Really makes me wonder if Egbunu will come back next season and be able to play...come back but take a medical redshirt assuming a 12 month recovery and play his last year in 2018....or just go pro (probably Europe) and get better and hope for a FA contract after a full year healthy. I personally hope he gets better ahead of chedule and comes back by the beginning of next year (better than ever). The money is probably on option 2 though

This is embarrassingly pathetic. And you call yourself a fan of UF basketball. It is particularly pathetic given your signon.

Bu's gone - at least I would think so. Though he won't get drafted. But why wait around a whole year to see if you can even play the last 2 months of next season, or then wait until the 2018-2019 season to play?

Egbunu has already burned is redshirt while transfering. This is an unfortunate injury for him.
