Kittleson's Dream Week Continues

Drew Kittleson continued living a life most of us will only dream of yesterday by playing a practice round with Phil Mickelson. Kittleson and Mickelson have the same swing coach; Butch Harmon.
Tomorrow will be another special day as he plays a practice round with Adam Scott, who without question has the hottest following of any player on tour, Lefty and Tiger included. Then his dad will be on the bags for him the Par 3 contest which will be on ESPN at 3 p.m. He will be playing with Bubba Watson.
The pairings were announced and he will be playing with Augusta native and 1987 Masters champion (That was before Kittleson was born) Larry Mize and John Merrick who will also be making his first Masters appearance.

With the loss of Owens to a DUI for who knows how long and Surrency to the NCAA, FSU receivers are lacking depth on paper. But in all honesty Traffic School wouldn't have seen a ton of playing  time anyway. Reed is the leader, Easterling will contribute baring any setbacks in his recovery from an achilles injury. Jarmon Fortson is developing into a deep ball threat and Richard Goodman looks ready to contribute. Avis Commack continues to get open, but can't seem to catch it. And of course it looks like FSU will have no choice but to Give my boy Louis Givens a scholly and he brings more speed to an already fast unit. So really as long as Easterling doesn't flirt with anyone's girlfriend and start a brawl this off season they should be ok. 
It's the depth at running back that worries me. Ty Jones looked very good early on but can't seem to hold onto the ball now. Jermaine Thomas is the obvious choice for starter at this point but after him I truly think that it will be Chris Thompson or Lonnie Pryor battling it out for No. 2 on the depth chart.
