I don't know if it's the best post ever, but a tremendous pick up, for sure. I'll do the Best Post Ever when we sign Maxwell & Vawter!!!

Take a look at Erickson's freshman stats. She's going to be a star and with her versatility, she's able to plug several weak holes in the lineup -catcher, first base or outfield.

Let’s go!!!

 

Erickson is in the house. Way to go Tim.

 

Not only can she hit, she led Oklahoma in fielding % 1000. Had 124 chances and no errors.

 

Now, get two of the three pitchers out there and we have gone from disaster to an A+ summer. And Keagan started following Erickson and Vawter. Beginning to believe she knows something. Edit: And Amanda was all over her announcement virtually the second she made it. Makes me wonder what she also knows.

 

If/when we pick up Vawter I hope I'm at home. Because I know I'm going to probably scream YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! and smile ear to ear.

 

What I'm hoping is that they're waiting for Vawter to get back from South Africa and Maxwell to get back from Ireland so they can get a picture of them in Gator uniforms together!

 

This girl entered the portal with only two days remaining before the deadline. She was the best freshman on the team and left the National Champion and arguably the best coaching staff in the country to play for the Gators. I wonder why she chose to do so? Wow, what a great pickup for TW.

 

Funny how things work out. Watching the Batbusters a couple years ago made me want Jocey but I knew it wasn't going to happen as she was determined to go to OU. And now it happened.

 

I read a very long article from someone that was pretty clearly an OU insider. (Was it posted here...can't remember where I found it.) Anyway, it went at great length analyzing Jocey's entire season. How she started off playing regularly and was extremely good but then was relegated to getting a start every now and then and how the numbers understandably fell off some. The writer was clearly, although only dancing around the subject, implying that a really great freshman still has to basically beg for playing time with the way Gasso has hit the portal in the past. He ended by encouraging OU fans to understand the very understandable reason why Jocey entered the portal and, more so, that he predicted she would land in a good place and have an outstanding career.

 

She is going to room with Korbe Otis.

 

Are Vawter and Maxwell roomies?

 

OU has only picked up Monticello from Wisconsin, right? Maybe everyone is sick of hearing about them and want to beat them? Gators are making a run at it. I've been hard on Tim but gotta give him some props.. Still waiting to hear Vawter's name before the crow dinner though. lol

 

When Tim picks up Vawter I will be dining with themaxpower on the same Crow dinner!

 

I'll bring the hot sauce!! lol

 

The Sunshine Pumpers will host the dinner.

 

The investment is paying off Jeff!

 

Our investment is definitely looking that way!
