Running with the Devils

As we approach on the upcoming 2006-2007 NCAA basketball season the University of Florida has a chance to do something special. They have the chance to become repeat champions. They could be the first team to repeat as champions since the 91 and 92 Duke Blue Devils. The chance was made possible when Jokaim Noah, Al Horford, and Corey Brewer decided to stay in school for their junior seasons. They were projected as first round draft picks in the June 2006 NBA draft. They turned down the fortune because they loved suiting up for the orange and the blue. I admire their willingness to turn down the money because they love playing for the Gator basketball team.

On to the topic of the day Chris Leak led the way on the All-SEC team. Leak was voted as 1st team Quarterback. Some of the others voted on the All-SEC teams were Brandon Siler, Reggie Nelson, Dallas Baker, Earl Everett, Marcus Thomas, Ray McDonald, Andre Caldwell, and a few others. I think with this group of players the Gators forecast is looking bright this season. I know they have a tough schedule but with a little luck and skill this good become a season to remember.
