This GatorCountry podcast focuses on recapping the Florida Gators spring scrimmage from last Thursday, plus updating the injury news around the team this week.

Andrew Spivey and Nick de la Torre break down who looked good and who didn't look good in last week's scrimmage, plus we recap Jim McElwain's press conference from Monday.

Andrew and Nick also talk some recruiting news as the Gators are set to host a grad transfer soon, plus they recap the diamond sports from last weekend.

TRANSCRIPT:

Andrew:                 What’s up, Gator Country? Once again, your man, Andrew Spivey, here with Nicholas de la Torre. What’s up, Nicholas?

Nick:                          I think luckily both of us are not on the injured list, which you might not be able to say the same for a lot of the football team, and the baseball team took some licks this weekend, but you and I made it out unscathed. I do have a little leg thing. We’re not going to get into specifics, but a leg.

Andrew:                 A leg?

Nick:                          I’m not expected to miss any time though.

Andrew:                  Yeah. I think it’s spring. A lot of these so-called injuries if it was football season would these guys missing time? No. It’s spring. Guys like Jalen Tabor, who’s out, guys like Quincy Wilson, who is out, I’m trying to think of who all else that’s out that would be playing. Cam Dillard would probably be playing. Dre Massey would probably be playing. So a lot of these guys that are so-called injured, put in parenthesis, quotations.

Nick:                          Let me run through them. I have the updated list here. Let me run through them real quick, because spring injuries don’t mean much. You’re not playing a game.

Andrew:                  Right.

Nick:                          So we’ll just run through them real quick. Jordan Scarlett has missed time with a hamstring injury. He missed the scrimmage. He should be back Monday, as we’re taping this. Ahmad Fulwood and Dre Massey both leg injuries, believed to be hamstrings. Missed. Fulwood supposed to be back Friday. Massey back sooner, probably not Monday, maybe Wednesday. Friday the team will go back for another full scrimmage, so they’re hoping to get Fulwood back for that scrimmage. Cam Dillard, broken nose. He missed the scrimmage. He’s missing time. They hope to have him back Friday for scrimmage. Cece Jefferson’s down with hamstring injuries, kind of missed a lot of time, low key, missed a lot of time this spring. He’s supposed to be back Monday. Jalen Tabor, hamstring, was held from Thursday’s scrimmage. Duke Dawson dislocated his thumb in the scrimmage. He was able to come back, play a little bit. Expect to be back on Monday. They thought, worst case scenario, it could be broken. It’s not broken, so he’s had to deal with a foot injury and a thumb injury, but he’ll be back.

Then the more serious one is Thomas Holley, and you and I will talk about that for a little bit. So there’s been a lot made of Thomas Holley’s weight loss, and rightfully so. He has completely transformed his body. If you remember, it was from after his redshirt season going into his redshirt freshman year, I put on the message board after we talked to him for the first time, and I said, Thomas Holley, to me, this is two years ago, looks like a kid and sounds like a kid that was told by a doctor, hey, this injury is very serious. We’ve fixed it, but it’s not a matter of if you’ll injure it again; it’s a matter of when, and when that next injury happens, when this happens again, your football career is done, and it’s going to be something that will affect you the rest of your life. So we’re not telling you you can’t play football anymore, but you’re going to have to do things to alter your body t
