Returning for the 2024-25 season:

It looks to me like Golden only has 2 position groups on the team he's building.
They are either CG-SF's or they are PF-C types, which is a good way to do it imo.

Group 1: (PG-SG-SF) - 6-2, 6-2, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, 6-5, 6-5
Alijah Martin 6-2 210 Grad-Sr
Walter Clayton Jr 6-3 195 Sr
Will Richard 6-4 206 Sr
Denzel Aberdeen 6-5 190 Jr
Kajus Kublickas 6-2 171 So
Cooper Josefsberg 6-4 195 rsFr
Isaiah Brown 6-5 185 Fr - signed
Jack May 6-4 195 rsSr - WO

Group 2: (PF-C) - 6-9, 6-9, 6-11, 6-11, 7-1, 7-7

Micah Handlogten 7-1 235 Jr
Sam Alexis 6-9 225 Jr - xfer-in
Thomas Haugh 6-9 210 So
Alex Condon 6-11 230 So
Rueben Chinyelu 6-11 245 So - xfer-in
Olivier Rioux 7-7 300 Fr - unsigned, hard commit

That's 13 Ships + 1 WO. It appears that the ship slots are now filled.
Unless one or both (Clayton/Richard) leave for the NBA.

Since fall practice is underway and the Gators are playing exhibition games, I thought it would be good to get the discussion going about the upcoming season. #1 signing class in the nation, an upgrade at pitching coach, 2 quality portal transfers and a great returning corp of players has many people thinking this team has a decent shot at not only the SEC title, but the National Championship. Here are some links to bring everybody up to date:

D1 Baseball's #1 team of the past decade and 2025 will be another good one.

Lagway is going to be limited for spring practice with a shoulder/hip injury

..Now, before everyone goes crazy, I think this is pretty standard. Based on Napiers comments in the presser, it sounds like they are trying to keep Lag extremely healthy. That's not to say that the injury isn't real, but I think they are heavily trying to bubble wrap Lag.

Go Gators!

What will Algae Gore and Teddy Danson say?

I can’t wait for the warmest cult to make up a excuse for this.

The Florida Gators are back on the diamond for game one for the Saturday doubleheader versus the Harvard Crimson. Florida has a great showing in the series opener last night as they won 12-0. Weather could be an issue so I’ll update you all if there are any delays. First pitch is at 12 pm EST. Lineups will be posted soon

Hey All

With the blessing from KC, here is update on the bottles that everyone will be receiving.

I am going down tomorrow (Friday) to get bottles from KC. I’ll head back Saturday.

I had originally intended on having shoppers here. But I’ve ordered through Uline before and the shippers were too small. Bad deal lol. So when i get a bottle this weekend I’ll measure and ensure what I do order will fit. I prefer to stay married to my lovely wife and cutting out styrofoam on 100 bottles is a recipe to hire someone here as my attorney for divorce. I’ll order shippers and boxes Sunday, start boxing things up next week and begin shipping out bottles. I’ll do my best to provide tracking but for privacy reasons i won’t post a spreadsheet of shipping labels bc you can see addresses.

Goal: everyone has their bottles by Friday March 6th (when i go on spring break).

I know many are getting anxious about receiving them. Our schedules just aligned from the new year for us to pass over the bottles.

Weather looks good next 2 weeks. Not too hot. Not too cold. If you won’t be in town that first week of March drop me a message and I’ll ship upon your return.

God speed to all the bottles going out!

The #5 Gators opened their season today in Baltimore vs. #11 Johns Hopkins. In a very tight match that was tied 6-6 at halftime, the Gators fell behiund in the 4th quarter, but scored 3 goals in the last 3:21, the go-ahead goal with 18 seconds left, to win 12-11. Johns Hopkins outshot Florida 37-19 and beat them in draw controls 15-7. But Gator goaltender Georgia Hoey had 10 saves to keep the Gators in the match and allow them to pull it out in the end.

Just an FYI - The Florida Lacrosse program moved to the Big 12 in the offseason and are favorites to win that conference in their 1st year. Other teams in the league are: UC Davis, San Diego State, Cincinnati, Colorado and Arizona State. So far, 11 of our 17 matches are scheduled to be televised, but only on ESPN+. Next up is a home game Sunday at 11 am on ESPN+ against Kennesaw State. Go Gators!

Here are some links of Lacrosse news to catch up anyone interested:

One of the greatest actors of all time. And a Marine.

And of course……. Hoosiers.

ATHENS, Ga. – Alex Condondressed out Saturday night at LSU and went through Florida's pregame warm-up. The sophomore forward was unlikely to play against the Tigers, but used the circumstance as another workout, another step toward getting back on the floor for the Gators.

That was three days ago, which means there have been several more such steps since.
Alex Condon Saturday at LSU
"I'm feeling pretty good," the 6-foot-11, 230-pound Australian and team rebound leader said Monday. "Just taking my time with my recovery, making sure I'm not rushing back."

It's been exactly two weeks since Condon collapsed to the floor 30 seconds into UF's game Feb. 11 at Mississippi State. The scenario was alarmingly reminiscent to the one that played out with senior point guard and leading scorer Walter Clayton Jr. at Tennessee 10 days before that. In both cases, the Gators dodged serious injury bullets. Same with the hip pointer that befell fifth-year guard Alijah Martin on Feb. 4 against Vanderbilt.

Clayton missed one game, Martin missed two and Condon (discounting his 30 seconds in Starkville) missed four. Their UF teammates, however, hardly missed a beat.

The third-ranked Gators (24-3, 11-3) are on a six-game winning streak – the run coinciding with those three starters absent a combined seven games – and now look to inch closer to full strength when they face Southeastern Conference rival Georgia (16-11, 4-11) Tuesday night at Stegeman Coliseum.
