Here are your Gator bites for Tuesday:
Florida’s entire true freshman class is on campus, enrolled in school, and ready for offseason workouts.
Do you care who’ll be rooming with who? Probably not, but here’s some news on that front.
This writer believes Florida’s game with Arkansas is looking more and more dangerous to Gator fans.
In basketball news, the Gator coaching staff would like to play more man defense and press more this season.
It looks like Florida’s last-ditch recruiting efforts have failed and they’ll head into the fall with very, very little depth at point guard.
Some idiot fan asked Billy Donovan the following over the weekend: “We all know the success that you had when you recruited Joakim Noah and Corey Brewer and the rest of that group… why can’t you do that again?” Yeah, those kind of recruiting classes are pulled down by most folks every year. What gives, Coach?
Florida finished #3 in the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup race. (Once again Stanford won the top prize… thanks to the fact that Pac-10 schools play about 50 sports — cross-country ballroom dancing, whiffle hockey, synchronized sneezing, etc.)
Finally, did you see where former Gator Percy Harvin was sent home from the the NFL rookie symposium because he was once again sick? Considering his injury history at Florida, the Vikings might have drafted a guy that needs to live in a plastic bubble, a la John Travolta.
