Losing to Georgia

Not a shocker.

When I saw that Georgia was one of the first 4 out, I knew the fix was in to get them that big win to get them into the tourney. SEC has two goals every basketball season: To get as many teams in the NCAA as possible, and get Kentucky a #1 seed. Well, UK isn't good enough this year for that seeding, no matter how much help they get, but Florida has always been the SEC's favorite whipping boy when somebody else is on the bubble and needs a win. And here we are.

Hoping the boys can win the 5 on 8 matchup anyway.

Basketball Gator radio broadcast available for game tonight

I just learned that the Gator radio broadcast with Sean and Lee will be available tonight via the Varsity app. The app is free to download and you do not have to register as far as I can tell. I'm not sure why this app is allowed to transmit the broadcast but I'm not going to complain. just wanted to let anybody know who was interested in listening to the radio broadcast and syncing to the TV.

Baseball Three Tennessee Volunteers to watch against Florida

Three Tennessee Volunteers to watch against Florida
Hector








The Florida Gators will be on the road for their first SEC three-game weekend series of the 2025 season. The Gators will go up against the 2024 defending national champions and undefeated, Tennessee Volunteers.



The Tennessee Volunteers have one of the most dominant teams in college baseball this season. As a team, the Volunteers have the top-ranked offense in the SEC and the second-best offense in the country only behind UCF. They also have the lowest team ERA (1.83) in the nation. Here are three Tennessee Volunteers to watch against the Florida Gators.



2B Gavin Kilen



Junior middle infield Gavin Kilen was one of the top position players in the Transfer Portal last offseason. The Louisville transfer has made a major impact on Tennessee’s offense and could be a first round pick in the 2025 MLB Draft.



In the 2025 season, Kilen has started in all sixteen games. Kilen is slashing .463/.589/1.093 with 25 hits, four doubles, three triples, a team-high eight home runs, 22 RBIs, sixteen walks, five stolen bases, and a 1.682 OPS.



The Wisconsin native is viewed as one of the best bat-to-ball hitters in college baseball and could be a first round pick after the season. On MLB Pipeline, Kilen is the 28th-ranked prospect in the 2025 MLB Draft. One of his biggest strengths is his advanced approach at the plate. In the first sixteen games of the season, Kilen has only struck out three times (4.1 K%) and a 21.9% BB%.



2. LHP Liam Doyle



Another transfer the Volunteers landed in the Transfer Portal last offseason was junior left-handed pitcher Liam Doyle. The southpaw flamethrower is at his third program in three years (Coastal Carolina and Ole Miss) and has been one of the biggest breakout candidates this season. Baseball America has Doyle as the 52nd-ranked prospect in the 2025 MLB Draft.



In the 2025 season, Doyle has made four starts for the Volunteers. He has posted a 3-0 record with a 0.44 ERA, 0.54 WHIP, a .095 opponent batting average, 2.2 BB/9, and leads the nation in strikeouts with 47 and K/9 with 20.8.



On the mound, Doyle possesses a four-pitch mix, including his fastball, slider, cutter, and changeup. Doyle is a fastball-dominant pitcher as he uses it roughly 75% of the time and batters still aren’t touching it. Doyle has a good feel with his cutter that he’ll use once he gets ahead in the count versus right-handed hitters. His fastball sits 93-95 mph and has been clocked at 98 mph this spring with elite arm-side action on the ball acting like a sinker.



3. SS Dean Curley



Another potential first-rounder for the Tennessee Volunteers is shortstop Dean Curley. The draft-eligible sophomore was the only freshman hitter to start in Tennessee’s lineup which led them to a national championship.



In his sophomore season, Curley has started in all sixteen games. Curley is slashing .346/.521/.692 with eighteen hits, six home runs, sixteen RBIs, 25 runs scored, sixteen walks, and a 1.213 OPS.



The Golden State native is one of the most physically gifted players in college baseball. Curley is a very well-rounded hitter who crushed the fastball and can still do damage against off-speed pitches. He’s a good defensive shortstop with one of the strongest arms in the country. On Baseball America, Curley is the fourteenth-ranked prospect in the 2025 MLB Draft.

Basketball What games are you looking forward to watching outside of UF and any predictions?

I got Kentucky beating Tennessee in the sweet sixteen.

I think UCSD will run through Michigan and A&M for a sweet sixteen against Auburn.

I think Saint Mary's can slow down the pace of Alabama in the second round and potentially upset them. Very good defensive team with a good backcourt and I think Mitchell Saxen will give them a lot of trouble rebounding.

Arizona is the biggest wildcard to me. Their highs are really high but their lows are extremely low.

Basketball OT Montverde Basketball

I have been away for a few days but I am surprised no one has mentioned that Kevin Boyle (and I guess his sons?) are leaving MVA for Ohio. This would appear to be a tectonic shift in HS power basketball. MVA was dedicated to championship basketball before Boyle and I am sure they will continue that commitment. But whoever they hire, I hope they are more "Gator friendly" than Boyle seemed to be. It has been rumored all year that Boyle was leaving. It would interesting to get CJ Ingram's take on the situation.
