Future Gator Point Guard
If you are like me, you never heard of Nimrod Tishman until late July. Nimrod really broke out in the international hoops scene in the 2009 U18 European Championship. He averaged 18.3 ppg to go with 4 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 6 games. Nimrod is a 6′ 5″ point guard that looks a lot like Nick Calathes on tape. Florida just has one true point guard, Erving Walker, on scholarship, and incoming freshman Kenny Boynton planned to handle some point.
It is less than one week until the kickoff of the 2009 season. On Saturday, September 5, Charleston Southern University comes into The Swamp to take on the defending BCS National Champs. The Gators are paying $450,000 to get CSU to travel to Gainesville. So who are the Charleston Southern University Buccaneers?
Gators vs Bucs
The Buccaneers are a member The Big South Conference, and have been picked to finish fifth from The Big South media. Head coach Jay Mills, now in his seventh year at CSU, holds a 34-33 record with the Bucs. They are going to have a new starting quarterback when the come in to The Swamp. This with be their fourth starting QBs in as many years.
Gator fans–it is only one more week till the 2009 Gators Football season kicks off. During the past week the Gators have dominated the college football news. It all started with the Gators making AP poll history. The Gators were able to get 58 out of the 60 votes and received the most first-place votes ever. Lou Holtz also shocked everyone when he said that Notre Dame would meet Florida in the BCS National Championship this season. I’ve heard everything from rumors that Lou has completely fallen off his rocker to rumors that he is putting pressure on Charlie Weis because he would like to see his son Skip Holtz take the Notre Dame job. Either way one of the teams he picked was right.

How often do you watch highlight tapes on offensive tackles? Seantrel Henderson is one that you need to check out. He dominated defensive line last year as a Junior. All the scouting services have him as their top lineman of the 2010 class. The Gators are one of 50 plus teams that are recruiting this 6’7″ 295 lbs stud. Check out the tape for your self.
Here is some of Percy Harvin old High School highlights. Coach Meyer is good at finding talent, but it was safe to say after watching Percy here he was a very safe recruit. Havrin had 32 touchdowns (19 rushing, 13 receiving) in three seasons, and is the only player in Florida history to have 100 yards rushing and receiving in a game.
Ike Hilliard puts on one of the greatest moves of all time and breaks the ankles of two Florida State Defensive Backs. He finished his career at Florida with 126 receptions for 2,214 yards and 26 touchdowns. The video quality is not that great, but the move more than makes up for it.

With Stephen Alli coming in early, the Gators are still in the market for another Wide Receiver for the class of 2010.
Kenny Still come on to Gainesville
Kenny Stills could be the player to fill that spot. Kenny is a 6′ 1″ and 171 lbs WR out of California. ESPN has him ranked at #38 in the WR class of 2010, while Rivals has him ranked #22, and Scout reports him as the #6 best WR. Kenny would fit in well with the speedy Gators. He posted a 4.3 time in the 40 yard dash.Everyone raves about how well he runs routes and how great his balance is once he is running with the ball.
