Gator Baseball 2024 OFFICIAL ROSTER/Transfer Tracker/Lineup???

One of the most highly sought pitchers for the 2025.

 

Great news

 

It's not new. 20+ years ago,there was some SoCal QB who had a nutso dad who did a variety of tricks to give him advantages in sports- especially football. Besides starting school as late as Jethro Bodine, he had intense sports development activities and such. Only thing lacking was exceptional talent. That dad probably was unpleasant to be around, maybe became the sort of youth sports coach who yelled at 8-year olds for not throwing strikes.

Both of my kids were August babies and we had choices on starting school. One started younger than most classmates, the other older. We generally chose correctly. Both played youth sports and the one with athletic talent played well and got a couple of years of free college soccer, the one with a talent level similar to dad played for enjoyment. Both are in their 40s and still like sports, but starting age hardly mattered.

 

Marinovich was the qb

 

Yes

 

He was at practice a few weeks ago. Didn’t know who he was then. One other kid there with him, wonder if we landed him too.

 

He & his brother MJ are from South Korea. The brother has committed to LSU.

 

The other kid that was there was a blonde white kid. Sully was up in the stands talking to someone when they came out of the dugout. He quickly made his way down to greet them and their families.

 

Guess it wasn't his brother, then.

 

Remember getting up at 4 am to watch South Korean baseball games during Covid when no one else was playing? Those were the days.

 

Funny subject but it’s happening all over either at the time from pre-school to 1st grade, just go to another pre-school before starting 1st grade or when the child goes from middle school or 9th grade centers to high school. I’d bet 1/3 of my adult children’s friends with younger kids is doing this with their sons. I was a 17 freshman in college, the extra year in high school would have been fun.

 

Man, time is flying!!

 

Always @ocalaman always……

 

So much so that I can't even properly write a 4 word sentence!! (if instead of is???)

 

D1Baseball just started their 2024 transfer tracker. They list one Gator transfer named Jake Young. I doubt that's Jacob Young who transferred to the Nationals last summer.I like D1B, but they aren't perfect.

 

It doesn't have anything to do with current team, but I thought this was pretty cool to recognize Dane as he was the workhorse of the pitching staff all year.
