Gilchrist will travel with USF to Notre Dame

USF forward Gus Gilchrist, sidelined since December with a severely sprained ankle, will travel with the Bulls this weekend and could make his return in Sunday's game at Notre Dame.

"He looked pretty good. He did all right," coach Stan Heath said of Friday's practice, noting that Gilchrist was able to participate in some full-contact parts of team drills.

Heath said Saturday will be a key day to evaluate Gilchrist's soreness and swelling, but he expects the sophomore to be available to play against Notre Dame, and close to full strength by next week's Feb. 13 game at Marquette.

Gilchrist was USF's leading scorer when he was injured in December, though the Bulls have played well without him, going 5-5 in Big East play. USF has won four games in a row, including upset wins against No. 17 Pittsburgh and Wednesday's 72-64 win at No. 7 Georgetown.

I hope he is at least 90%.  Famous can't guard Harangody and Fitz showed his age last time.  At least with Gus Luke would be FORCED to play D.

Anyone else think the offensive point production is going to cool off these first few games when we try to get Gus involved again.  I do.

However, if we bring him back in the fold and still pull down a NCAA tourney invite. . . . . I could see us making it to the second week.

There will definitely be a transition period.  I think you're right that the offense will cool down...but I hope with Gus back the defense bump up a notch to compensate.  It will be interesting to see how DoJo does with Gus back (and if we're a better or worse team for it).

He shouldn't play more than 10 minutes. He needs to be slowly introduced back into the lineup. We have a good thing right now. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

I think you use Gus for 5-6 minutes at a time, no more, no less.  So my best guess is 15-18 minutes.

I agree . he will have his ankle wrapped up. so let him get back into game mode with 5 to  mins at a time depending on how he feels.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
