Florida released today that both Will Yeguete and Eli Carter have been cleared for limited contact drills. Also, Michael Frazier turns out not to have mononucleosis.

Yeguete, who is recovering from knee surgery, will hopefully be back for a Gators team, that Alligator Army pointed out, that could start the team with only seven healthy players.

Carter broke his leg back in February with Rutgers, before transferring to Florida. He was cleared by the NCAA to play immediately for the Gators. Now the question will be if he is healthy enough.

There are also a ton of other Gators MBB notes from the SEC Media Days in Birmingham, AL.

Both Patric Young and Scottie Wilbekin were voted onto the preseason SEC 2nd Team by media members.

Florida ranked 2nd in the SEC media poll. They received five first place votes (and 353 points) compared to Kentucky’s 21.

Gators ranked at No. 8 in preseason USA Today Coaches’ Poll.

Damontre Harris was treated for his sore hamstrings during practice.

Quotes



“I would say Will is further along right now. We’re hopefully maybe in a couple weeks we can get him back into practice on a limited basis. Eli is doing some stuff, non-contact, anything we’re doing without contact he’s trying to participate in. But he’s still up in the air where he’s at and how much longer it’s going to take him to get back.” -Billy Donovan (Only Gators) “The fact that Will is doing a little more, and Eli is doing a little more, those are good things. If we can get our numbers back to where they need to become a healthy team, obviously we’ll have a chance to get much better.” – Donovan ( Gator Zone
