    AK putting in the work. This attitude and work ethic is why she started at 3B as a freshman.

    Are you referring to a previous transfer?

    No way she shouldn't have been moved up to the national team over Alo.

    Absolutely. While it has never been made public who he meant, Tim was quoted as saying a player came back last September way out of shape and he told her "you're going to hurt yourself.". Then, this player, who was expected to challenge for a starting role, barely played in the fall. Held back. Then she transferred after Fall exit interviews. Some people have reported she and her parents were upset because Tim had recruited a stellar class that could compete with her instead of her being handed a job. She then lands at a West Coast team, and while redshirting but likely still practicing, ends up breaking her leg. I do not know exactly how she broke her leg but the question has to be, "is Tim a prophet?" You can supply the name. It should be clear. There is no actual confirmation that I know of about anything I just said but I feel it in my bones 99%. Nobody on the roster that came in last September fits any of this description except one player. Edit: I also know that before last September, she spent time vacationing in Hawaii, and time vacationing in Las Vegas, plenty of time at the lake and numerous Dodger games. Add it up.

    Vacationing with another player that transferred out. I expect nothing but drive from any coming back this year.

    Yep. And in Hawaii with her and her family's best friends, not same kid, who currently plays at Kentucky. Best friend also considered a stud coming out of travel. A so-so year, at best, in her second year in the SEC. Hit .236.

    News to me. I know of nobody who doesn't think she will be in the lineup.

    It's been on stuff like robo. I think it has been here some too.... very few and everyone legit backs her here. She is a gamer.

    This ticks me off a bit. Why make the rest of us who aren't quite in the know have to examine a couple of rosters to figure out the player's name. Dang, I know once a Gator always a Gator, but this player transferred to the west coast to get away from UF. Put up the name already.

    oh wow, I added it all up and figured out the name of the player. Interesting because I thought she had potential her freshman year, then she just sort of vanished from my memory. It’s amazing and crazy how things have turned out for her as well as the “teammate” that left ad well. I don’t think she’s on a roster this year or did I just not dig deep enough?

    She is going to be such a leader for us next year. Along with Rothrock and Brown. Also good when your battery is your leadership.

    I guess she couldn't commit to what it takes to play college softball at Florida or any level.
