    This team is so loaded, I don't think TW will get a big time recruiting class until Keagan Ava and company are seniors. You would have to be a superstar to break into this lineup.

    Agreed in that he won't get, at least for another year, a huge loaded class like '23 and '24. Last year was very tough and expected. There is still reasonable hope he can cherry pick two or three of the best in this class. I mean, if that viewpoint was true, Oklahoma would never get a kid out of high school with their lineup and her penchant for grabbing three or four elite portals every year.

    The most important thing about Avery is that she REALLY wants to be a Gator.

    I can say that Tim, Francesca and SVP are still following Hodo so, imo, that means the door is not closed at this point.

    Agreed and that Tim grabbed her immediately. There was no second guessing. As I said before, I trust Tim's evaluation over anybody else. He could have waited a month or two and this kid probably would have jumped at any offer from Tim. She didn't have to wait. Speaks volumes to me.

    The other thing that jumped out to me was that AK reposted Avery's commitment immediately and was really excited about the commitment. That speaks volumes as well.

    Whoa. Appears Tim has dropped a ton of kids he has been following and the changes appear consistent on his twitter and instagram account. I can only find nine of the original twenty-five left. A lot of good players, including Ava Hodo, are gone. McLaine Hudson and Caroline Stanton are still there.

    Looks like we got OU at home to finish out the season before SEC Tourney. Let's bring it!

    I am sure they will find someone to show. Maybe FSU is looking to make arrangements for a game that weekend.

    OU as the last series will have big seeding impacts I would think. I didn't realize we had a Texas series also. The week of A&M, UCF midweek, then Texas will be big.
