Notes from Kevin O’Sullivan’s press conference earlier today

- Josh Rivera starting throwing again this week. I know this was a concern for some people here but it seems like Rivera should be good to go for Opening Day on Friday.

- Wyatt Langford is expected to get the start at left field but others will get the opportunity to play especially some freshmen.

- One freshmen that isn’t expected to be available this weekend is Michael Robertson. He’s been dealing with a hamstring injury since the fall.

- The Sunday starter should be decided tonight. I think the two favorites are Timmy Manning and Pierce Coppola. Original had Manning as the Sunday guy but Sully is very high on Coppola comparing him to AJ Puk. I know he’s been impressive in the fall and scrimmages.

Athletic Re-ranks 2018 Recruiting Classes

Of note in the article is that UL is now ranked #10 and Napier's transition class was ranked #105 at the time. A couple excerpts:

The Ragin’ Cajuns signed 22 players for 2018, and 16 have started games, including eight who earned All-Sun Belt recognition.

This is not one of those classes that was loaded up with junior college and transfer pickups in the hopes of getting good quickly. It’s mostly high school players plucked out of the Cajuns’ recruiting region who put in the hard work to reach their potential and guide the program to back-to-back Sun Belt titles. Those results should impress Florida fans and inspire some optimism that, given time, Napier’s track record of evaluation and development will translate in the SEC.


UF remained at #14 in the re-ranking.
