Curious if you had to pick ONE. If your favorite isn't on this list you can do a write in. But who was your favorite Gator this past year and why? It's supposed to be hard so pick one. Who were you most excited to watch at any given moment?

Jac Cags - (baseball) 6th overall pick, ALL time UF HR record
Joecyln Erickson (softball) 2024 POY
Skylar Wallace (softball)
Rothrock (softball) stud Freshman year
Walter Clayton - (basketball)
DJ Lagway - (football)
Baugh - (football)
Katie Ledecky - 2024 Paris Gold Medal
Parky Valby (track) - NCAA champion, record holder, Paris 2024
Ben Shelton - Pro Tennis
Grant Holloway - 2024 Paris Gold medal
Caeleb Dressel (swimming) - 2024 Paris Gold medal
Al Horford (basketball) - 2024 NBA Champion
Pete Alonso (baseball) - led Mets to NLCS
Billy Horschel - (golf) - 2024 ranked #16th in the world


For me it was Cags. He was must see TV and he put the Gator baseball team on his back this past summer and took us to the World Series.

SEC network showing Gator Love again as they are replaying the only Gator loss against Ole Miss on 08 ( I know the Tebow speech) and the loss to Tenn in 98. I guess they didn't win many games in the 90's to show any of those games. What else is new.

Or just really really stupid....

Gators' Goal: 'Don't Let Up'
Dec 28, 2024
Fifth-ranked and unbeaten Florida, back from holiday break, looks to maintain its momentum in Sunday's home game against Stetson, with the start to a brutal SEC season looming next weekend!!!

To Bama.

Rob has coached two 1st team AA in 3 years at UF... can we back off on the he can't coach OL for a little while?
Our OL is getting deep and talented across the board.

I wonder if UM is going sign a few more tackling dummies on defense? 😂

The Southeastern Conference announced the 2025 preseason poll, putting Florida in the top-5 at No. 4.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.-The Southeastern Conference revealed predictions for the 2025 Southeastern Conference women's tennis title in a vote of the league's coaches. The preseason poll places the Gators at No. 4 with Georgia at No. 1, Texas at No. 2, and Texas A&M at No. 3.

Georgia earns the 2025 title prediction as they return a large portion of its 2024 roster that took them to the NCAA Championships. Newcomers, Texas take the No. 2 spot with four singles players in the country's top-100, and Texas A&M places third after winning the 2024 NCAA Championship title. Florida's No. 4 ranking puts them directly in the mix with the nation's most elite names in Division I tennis.

Florida's 2024-25 roster includes No. 3 ranked doubles pair, Rachel Gailis and Alicia Dudeney. The duo advanced to the NCAA final four in November, recording Florida's furthest NCAA doubles run since 2016. The Gators also welcomed three highly talented freshmen: Nikola Daubnerova, Talia Neilson-Gatenby and Noémie Oliveras. Neilson-Gatenby enters her first collegiate season with high expectations as she was projected in the nation's top-10 for newcomers at No. 8 and was ranked overall at No. 122 in the ITA's fall preseason rankings. UF's roster is rounded out with seniors Bente Spee, Emily De Oliveira, and sophomore Qavia Lopez

The new era of Florida women's tennis begins under the leadership of head coach Per Nilsson this weekend at Alfred A. Ring Tennis Complex. The annual Florida Invitational is set to start on Saturday, Jan. 11. UF will take on cross-state rivals, Florida State and South Florida with first matches going out at 10:00 a.m. on both Saturday and Sunday.

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.
