Some have a theory that they seeded Alabama 5th and gave them an easy regional, so that the two SEC teams would have to play each other in the first game, and the winner play OK.
Tennessee won handily. I just looked at scores. I’m not a Bama fan, with or without Fouts. I think Tennessee is worthy this year. They have stepped up big time.
They have the most complete team in the SEC for sure. The bottom of their ordered stepped up big time today. I just don't think their pitching can hold up against Oklahoma, who they will play next.
No one will hold up against OK. I was excited watching Stanford. Can’t give up a single run against them. I hope so!
With Same Roe entering the portal today, that is 3 highly ranked catchers that have transferred out in the last 2 years. Toss in that Sam, Julia, and Lexi were top 10 recruits in their own classes, how much can we rely on the incoming class to bring us back to prominence? Development and putting players in a position to be successful has become a problem in Gainesville in recent years. Sam Roe coming in a year early was such a disastrous move.
I'm going out on a limb here but I'm going to guess he's talking about Alexis Carrasquillo. Or he's just playing with our minds on purpose.
This is so out of the blue. Anyone have any more information on Alexia Carrasquillo? I know she opened her recruitment back up some time ago. It seemed at the time Florida was still an option for her. Is she still considering Florida or not? I saw she is uncommitted but the article was published in 2022. I apologize!! I thought I mentioned her name in my previous post!! Other post been deleted.
Her Twitter page tabs a rather lengthy list of teams and UF is not One of them. Don’t know what happened. (FSU, LSU, GA, VOLS, Aggies, OSU and a number of others). Not sure how you go from committed to no interest. Maybe reading to much into the Tabs. She also participated in an FSU Camp.
2024 roster as it currently stands on 6/2/23. Assuming official portal entrants will be leaving. We need more arms in the circle. Avery Goelz - 1B/OF Reagan Walsh- Inf Skylar Wallace - SS Emily Wilkie - C/1B Kaila Pollard - Inf/OF Kendra Falby - OF Katie Kistler - OF Baylee Goddard - OF Incoming Freshman Ava Brown - RHP/1B Alyssa Hovermale - Inf Ariel Kowalewski - C Cassidy McLellan - OF Keagan Rothrock - RHP Mia Williams - Utlity TBD Olivia Gigante - rumors of being in the portal, nothing official
First of all, someone needs to give me a badge or something for correctly guessing who you were talking about in that strange original post. Anyway, she is somewhat of an enigma. She decommitted earlier than 2022, possibly a reaction to Roe committing (how the worm turns on that). She carries a supposed elite reputation and I have seen nothing that justifies that. I believe she is a 2024 recruit and still uncommitted which is strange as elite 2024 kids were grabbed last Fall. I haven't seen a lot of her in travel and that's because she joins elite teams and never plays. A couple years ago she was on the Lady Dukes with Keagan and Layla. She almost never played as she was behind Keagan's favorite catcher, Lilly Valimont. She just disappeared mid-season. I don't know if she quit due to no playing time or if they got rid of her. Last year she turned up on the Batbusters-Stith roster but again, she virtually never saw the field. That about sums up what I know about her but none of that is reflective of an elite recruit.
She committed when she was 12 and at that time was considered an elite player. Just an FYI - Mia William & Keagan Rothrock committed as 7th graders. As of 5/16/22, she was rated #28 in the 2024 Extra Elite Top 100 by Extra Inning Softball, but decommitted from Florida early in 2022. I can't find a reason given. I have read a couple of opinions that say she doesn't have a D1 arm, but who knows?
