This letter is to Gator basketball player Lee Humphrey.

Dear Lee:

I just saw you were named the SEC's Scholar Athlete of the Year. Wow. This plus being earning ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America honors last week is super kewl. Congrats.

Florida Gator Lee Humphry leads the SEC in 3 pointers at more than 47%.Hey, I've been meaning to talk to you about your 3s. I know the media keeps talking about your bike accident as the reason you weren't hot on the trigger for a few weeks. But you know what, I think it goes deeper.

See, I noticed that when you played Tennessee, the dominant team in your home state, it all started. Then we went to South Carolina. Then there was Vandy at home. You broke it with Vandy, but you did miss more 3s than you made.

You were coming back to your rightful place as the SEC's best 3 point range shooter. And THEN the bike accident happened.

So you see, the media has it all wrong. It is deeper. Psychological. I'm nearly sure of it.

You're starting to shake it - which is good. Just stop with the inner turmoil. Don't worry that Tennessee is your home state. The Gators love you & we're glad you're here. You don't belong on a team of crackheads. You belong to Gator Nation. So don't let them get to you again.

I'm glad we had this little talk.

Good luck in the SEC tourney - and again, congrats on being a super smart Gator!

Go Gators!
Kaye
