    i predict PGA will beg them to return before it gets to that.

    I dont see difference than playing Euro events. Not legally anyways. Play all 3 if want.

    Those three alone with what we are returning pitching make us a top 15 team. Add White and, whether we agree or not, D-1 Bb and others will have Gators as top 10. I’m not going what if w BT, Halter, and Josh but 2/3 of those guys coming back and look out.

    Here’s what I like beyond the 3 stud hitters I listed above.
    Neely
    Slater
    Fic
    Purnell
    Ursitti
    Finnvold
    Nesbitt
    Abner
    Jameson
    Transfer portal 1
    Transfer portal 2
    Not even counting on JC guys
    Notice I didn’t count Coppola even though he will be back and ready.

    Guscette
    Robertson
    Prevesk/Robinson
    Lastres

    would shock me if Guscette plays for the gators next year.

    I feel like he’s going to want to solidify himself as an everyday guy.

    Again....you don't know what the roster will look like. Your "glue guy" in the portal? Doubt all those names are here next season. Plus you are listing imaginary portal guys in your forecast? Cmon now.
    I love Evans potential.....but he hit 242. I think he can be a stud hitter, he ain't there yet.
    There is potential for sure. There is a decent chance we land portal help. But until we actually know it's all specualtion.
    And as to my original point, we have a lot of questions as of today. I super high quality DH would be a valuable addition, but really doesn't answer most of those questions. The good news is, we are well positioned to create an upgraded roster. But one slugger doesn't make us top 10 IMO

    Chap, Gus has already posted a tweet thanking everybody for his time at UF and said he’s entered the portal.

    It’s on this page posted by @salt72 .

    Ok. Let’s see where we are pre season ranked. I say top 15 without White.

    Agree with you. This isn’t good for us, especially if they get Jarrett. IMO that slides White their way.

    Game changer, you and I agree. Can you imagine Wyatt and Jac with this guy?
    Gonna like Mikey Robertson for sure.

    The difference is this league is funded by the Saudi government. Its up to the individual what they do with that information, but that is the difference. It's not a private entity like the PGA or Euro Tour. These players are now basically employees of the Saudi government.

    The best chances for us to get portal guys is if they are an academic kid . I don’t know Tommy’s situation. If Link goes to FSU that is going to be a big problem for Florida. When the rumor about Sully leaving we’re going on I said the first call would be to Link.

    Well it certainly won’t help them. Hope ND keeps playing for a while.
