Last year around this time, I wrote about how despite UF having just one draft pick in 2024, the Gators were set up to have a lot more.
I picked out 14 draft-eligible players I thought had a chance to be selected, intentionally casting a wide net with the proviso that certainly not all of them would hear their names called. Five of the seven Gators who got drafted were on the list — only Chimere Dike and Trikweze Bridges were missing, and I should’ve known better on Dike — and four more are still in school.
