Gate is ready to play. Good news!

That's really good news. It will be kind of nice to potentially be able to throw another wrinkle at Northern Iowa that was not there last week. He's such a matchup problem for a lot of teams. Hope he is able to get on the floor for 5+ minutes tomorrow. He's the guy I was most looking forward to seeing how his game progressed in the off season. Excited about his potential.

I hope he gets to ease back slowly to game speed. Would give up a couple games to make sure he was 100% for conference play.

We sure need him for Baylor to help out with Motley.

I love reading Shannon's quote "full go". I'm sure it will take a couple weeks to get his cardio in good shape but his style of play is so controlled and smooth, I don't think it will be a problem for him at 4-5 minute spurts. Great, great news. This kid is big time and was a nice player as a freshman. Imo he completes this team as a final 4 contender, and if Myles comes back, he's the icing on the cake.
