The Front Nine comes at you on the precipice of another special weekend of Gator sports and they are going to all be that way for a while. Sit back and enjoy.
1. If this is Friday, there must be another mock draft available on one of the websites. Try not to get too excited over the prospect of Kyle Pitts being the No. 2 pick, but I guess it could happen. Florida hasn’t had a second-round pick since 1950 (Chuck Hunsinger, Bears) and the only thing more amazing than that is that the Gators have never had the first pick in the draft. I think we are all rooting for Pitts to go as high as possible not only because he was an incredible player, but always seemed to be a good guy. Just as a side note, here are the members of the Ring of Honor and where they were drafted:

John Lennon was arriving at EMI Studios in his Rolls Royce, speaking nonsense through a speaker system, and David had parked his bicycle up in the hope of catching a glimpse of one of his heroes.
The Belsize Park resident is the guest on this week’s Ham&High Podcast, talking about his new memoir, It’s All Too Much - Adventures of a Teenage Beatles Fan in the ‘60s & Beyond.
A music industry veteran, David is also known as the “Zelig of Rock” and grew up in north-west London during the 1960s as a dedicated fan of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.
