    My heart still hurts Florida couldn't pull away with the championship. But that's a whole different bag of marbles.

    Whether it be Amanda or Ocasio I would love for either of them to still be involved with us by being the 3rd assistant which the fact that they know this tells me they may be the 3rd assistant. If we're gonna be elite it would be good to have them in the girls ears as they know what it takes.

    Amanda will not be. Unless she is going to dump her fiancé and I highly doubt that. When they made the engagement official she said something to the effect, "we've spent many years pursuing different paths...that is over."

    Well, I suppose anything is possible but he just signed on to be the paid assistant at Clemson a couple weeks ago. Just dumping that and moving to UF would be surprising.

    Could be. I'm not totally discounting that but I haven't followed Lele closely enough to have a hint at how involved she might be in this stuff.

    Taking a look at Lele's twitter page.....absolutely nothing recent about the Gators or college softball. It is all about Athletes Unlimited and her playing for Puerto Rico. And she is now in Spain for their shot at making the 2024 World Cup. Amanda, on the other hand, is all Gators....every day.

    On 7/16 she said "finally touched down in Valencia, Spain." And they are in Spain and Puerto Rico lost today to China.

    Who has a better shot at a championship and who would be a more important member of the coaching staff. Looks like you're moving Griffin. Lol

    Sliding toward OU for a moment. If I'm a pitcher at Oklahoma and a 3rd pitcher transfers in ill feel some type of way. I get the name of the game right now is transfers. but to me they are saying we can't or don't want to develop our current players. Even though Jen is on staff and is one of the best ( if not) the best pitching coach.

    Buffalo Springfield - Neil Young, Stephen Stills and a couple other guys I don't recall.
    Kind of like championship teams, some All Americans and several good role players.

    I know it should be easy to belive but I'm having a hard time understanding why Maxwell would go to OU. I know I said that earlier but it's really discouraging.

    Oh yes, I remember the Halloween Ball vividly; there were some very strange people at that event. Don’t recall seeing Commander Cody but my senses were surely impaired a bit.

    I think we're really relying on Vawter to come here at this point. Sounds like OU is doing what they doing and pursuing maxwell. Unless.... maybe maxwell really really doesn't like OU and is just entertaining them to get the satisfaction of telling them no lol. Hope everyone who has inside info still says they're coming here.
