Gator Track Roster

opinion on fambullah and/or allison turning pro?

 

Transfers coming in fast and furious...

 

Apparently more to come tomorrow on the men's side...

 

Mouse is crushing it, but sweeping outdoor nationals and having people in seemingly half the events at worlds will do that.

 

Also coaching the Olympic T&F team can’t hurt. With the transfer portal allowing kids to move without sitting out a year, top programs can cherry pick to supplement team and address depth issues. You are watching Oklahoma do this for softball pitchers each year.

 

And a start to what should be a day of stellar additions to the men's roster:

 

This one, previously reported on, is now official:

 

This in incredible. The caliber of athlete transferring into both men's and women's program is ridiculous.

Anyone know if anymore upgrades are happening at Pressly?

 

And the transfers keep rolling in. The new normal given NIL, and no fault, endless # of transfers now permitted. Just read the CBS Sports Matt Norlander 2 part write-up on Todd Golden and how the recruiting focus going forward will be on proven (analytics based) college transfers with only a hand-full of high level HS athletes with an expressed interest in UF.

 

And finally a summary of the 8 new transfer additions to UF Men's T&F:

Holy smokes! Those transfers are almost a team by themselves.

 

Stricklin has kind of glossed over future track stadium improvements. The track surface is very good but the grand-stands not so much. Probably above average versus most programs - and admittedly not a fair a comparison - nonetheless, it pails in comparison to Oregon's T&F stadium gold standard. Mouse and the program deserve much better especially as it appears an indoor facility is going forward at Celebration Pointe care of Alachua County. I know that there are plans to remodel / upgrade the Lemerand Center now that only track and volleyball will be occupants going forward. However, chair back seating with shade structure should be in the budget at a minimum as well.

 

I wonder if UF will utilize this facility to host indoor meets?

 

I don’t know how to link it but on Twitter champion seems to indicate he will be back next year.
