Florida Gators

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Hey folks, hope everyone is having a good summer weekend. Oh, and don't forget the sunscreen.

Meanwhile, here is a look at fresh links from around the Internet of interest to Florida fans:

--Former Gators guard Michael Frazier II and forward Chris Walker went undrafted in Thursday's NBA Draft. Frazier has landed a spot on the NBA champion Golden State Warriors' summer-league team. Frazier will have good company in competing for a spot on Golden State's roster in Chasson Randle, Stanford's all-time leading scorer.

--A decade later, former Gators standout Jill Craybas treasures her upset of Serena Williams at Wimbledon writes Melissa Isaacson of ESPNW.com.

--Former UF player Abby Wambach played only four minutes in the USNWT's win over China on Friday in the World Cup, but she contributed loudly writes Kevin Baxter of the Los Angeles Times.

--Longtime Gators broadcaster Larry Vettel signed off at WRUF on Thursday afternoon. Vettel is relocating to New York City and made it clear he is not retiring, just exploring new challenges. Here is a Q&A with Vettel via the Stuart News from three summers ago that discusses his more-than-30-year career in Gainesville.

Note: Vettel references legendary UF alum Red Barber's book “The Broadcasters,” which I happened across in Jackson Street Booksellers in Omaha during Florida's trip to the College World Series and added to my library.

--The Gators were knocked out of the CWS by eventual national champion, but don't be surprised if Florida returns next season writes Teddy Cahill of Baseball America.

--Billy Donovan sees a bright future for former Kentucky big man Dakari Johnson in Oklahoma City writes the Associated Press via BostonHerald.com.
