I'm with you. I really like her as a player but she wouldn't come without a price, both from the pockets and the locker room

Coach Walton is very particular about who he brings into his program. They have to not only have the skillset he's looking for, but the work ethic and the personality/attituded/approach that fits with what he's built inside his locker room. If Canady comes to Gainesville, you can bet that she's a fit in ALL ways and it won't be a problem in the locker room.

I do not think any of them would transfer.
Keagan and Ava are strong-willed women who would not retreat from a challenge.
Liv and her parents love UF and Gators with their whole hearts, even though she did not pitch a lot.
I wonder about that since she threw 2 perfect games, albeit against lesser competition. But, to that point, no one else did.
CCD said they broke down her delivery and changed her mechanics, so that may still be a work in progress.
I am hoping that SVP (not Scott Van Pelt) will come in and make progress with all our pitchers. She seems to be a fireball, which I like.
For the record, I thought CCD did a good job this past year. Evidently, some personality issues caused her to leave.
My ideal, as if that means much, would be to make Liv and Hammon relievers and Red the third starter.
I do not know much about Hammond's style, but she does have decent stats. Liv, with her changeup and other pitches and them pitching from opposite sides could be formidable.
It will be interesting to know what the rest of you think.
P.S. Someone on the board suggested we use 4 initials for Prothro. VanBrakle is one word, so SVP seems logical to me.

I love to hear that! I would love to have Canady but would hate to lose any of the pitchers. I want to see them reach their full potential. I think it takes a special locker room to bring Canady in.

If it were to happen I sure hope that's the case.

Rumors, rumors, rumors, that's all I see in these reports. Not going to get my hopes up on rumors like those on reddit.

I am! As a charter member of the Sunshine Pumper's Club, I'm already wondering what number she will select for her jersey. I'm also working night and day to learn to spell her first name correctly.

On Liv, she has the best changeup on the team. In the South Carolina series, I think she pitched two innings, if I recall. I saw three change ups in the 40s; there was one at 45 mph that was a strike out pitch. It made the Carolina batter look silly. I think if SVP works on her pitch placements, she will be a great reliever and eventual starter.
