Let me say what 110% of Gators fans are thinking. I want this man, @CarlinHartmanUF to be in Gainesville FOREVER. As former Gators players we are known as "Gator Greats". @CarlinHartmanUF will ALWAYS remain in my eyes as a Gator Great. He didn't play football at Florida like myself or basketball like my NBA All Star cousin @VernonMaxwell11 but he's done something even greater! He RAISED young men! Teaching, coaching and mentoring. THE BEST big man basketball coach in college basketball is @CarlinHartmanUF and I say that with such pride. Although I'm laid up at the moment after a knee replacement surgery, I will be getting back to my hometown Gainesville, Florida sometime the middle of April to stop in on our Gator football practices and plan on stopping in to see our Gator basketball staff/players at the basketball facilities. I want to tell @CarlinHartmanUF how much respect I have for him. If you want to know who this man is, research the relationship between him and @MHandlogten and @HHandlogten and the entire Handlogten family. Oscar winning movies have been made about this kind of relationship and friendship. GO GATORS! MUCH LOVE FOR YOU GUYS!!

Let’s talk about Micah Handlogten.

We all saw the distressing sight of him as he suffered one of the nastiest injuries I’ve ever seen. 99.99% of us will never know that type of misery. All we could do was pray.

By “pray”, I mean pray he’d *walk* again. I never thought he’d play basketball again. And I thought that if by some chance I was wrong and he did, it would be for another team, as Florida would make a logical business decision to not count on him.

Fast forward through the next eleven months. Why fast forward through them and not shine a light on Micah’s grueling and exhausting recovery process? Because Micah put in the work at a level that most human beings cannot even begin to comprehend. He did what very few people on this earth are wired to do. And thus we cannot pretend to relate to the journey he went through to get back out there— never mind in the 2024-25 season, but just ever again, period. We can only respect it. 🫡

So with that block of time in the rear view mirror now and Micah able to at least adequately use that leg again, he faced a decision as Alex Condon suddenly went down against Mississippi State: give up the redshirt year and provide that extra big presence for a handful of games to replace Condon’s so Florida wouldn’t just lose that interior presence, or preserve the year of eligibility and give himself more time to fully heal.

Micah, of course, made the decision that required the sacrifice. The selfless choice. The team-first choice.

And now Micah isn’t just merely a national champion; he was one of those who played in that national championship game. Sure, everyone on that roster contributed to it because they push the starters in practice every day— that cannot be lost— but Micah saw live action in the most pivotal moments that helped decide that championship. He didn’t just have a hand in it; he was one of the eight players on the floor that night who carried Florida to it.

I could thank Micah for his toughness. For his perseverance. For his selflessness. Or even for his natural height advantage 😂

I’m not going to do any of that though.

Instead, I’m going to thank him for being a Gator hero. His contributions to the box scores may not match those of Thomas Haugh or Walter Clayton, but his legacy is one that’s just as unforgettable. Because these are the kinds of stories you tell your children about and reminisce about in rocking chairs on your porch with some beers and some buddies.

And that legacy isn’t done being written yet.

I personally don’t think it’s fair for one person to speak on behalf of an entire fanbase, but I’m going to make an exception here.

@MHandlogten, you have the eternal respect, admiration, and appreciation from #GatorNation. Thank you for all the memories you’ve made here. Now go make a few more. 🐊👑
