    I pick Mia amongst the upper class men and Taylor amongst the freshmen. Mia seems more relaxed this year, I think she has eased herself from the legacy label and will be herself this season. And as for Taylor, I have swallowed the the Rick Smith pill. I am all in on Taylor being the next Amanda Lorenz.

    This is hard because I am so excited about so many of the girls. I already know that Taylor is going to be phenomenal, and I want to see that come to fruition. But as far as breakout... I am really curious to see how Keagan does at bat if CTW chooses to use her that way. If our ace can also smack it against the quality of pitching we will see as the season moves along, that would be pretty freaking amazing.

    From last year’s roster, what is the expectations for sophomores Hovermale, McLellan and Miller? Also, senior Barnard? Don’t we have a couple freshmen who are swift enough to pinch run?

    UF preseason #1 in Softball America, which we knew. Now #1 in D1 Softball. All of which is useless as tits on a bull.

    Man, you're actually more stubborn than me and I didn't think that possible. I'm going to have to have a talk with your wife and convince her to change you. That's assuming she still talks to you.

    Yep, it’s only good when it’s settled between the lines. But the recognition is good.

    Of these four, The breakout will be Cassidy. Maybe Lou or Liv will be a dark horse, Cookie is always good for an extra base and an occasional home run.

    It was fairly easy. I just followed the “ticket” link (Tickets: https://bit.ly/4housPl) on the X poster for the First Pitch event. Follow the queues.

    Well written article. But the underlying key is what our superstars think about playing at UF for Walton. The list is very long. Amanda, Skylar, Jocey, Korbe....and many more. They constantly publicly proclaim how much they love being in Gainesville and playing for this staff. There really isn't a better recruiting pitch. It does it on its own.

    60 for us on 6/25/25. She can’t wait for season to start, either. If you want to reach that milestone you better buy her another diamond and write her a song or a poem-just let her know you love her some way and do it often.. Congrads to you and you wife.
