Gator Baseball -- (thank gawd for B-Ball and Baseball & Softball coming soon)

Head Coach Kevin O'Sullivan's 2016 Recruiting Class:

(1-Miss, 3-UF, 4-LSU, 11-SCa, 12-Ark, 14-VU, 18-Tn, 21-AU, 24-UGA)
* The SEC had 9 teams with Top 25 Recruiting Classes...

~ For the 4th year in a row, the Gators brought in at least 5 players from the Baseball America 500.
~ For the last 4 years in a row and 6 times in 9 years, Kevin has had a Top 5 recruiting class.
~ Of the 12 newcomers, 6 players were selected in the 2016 professional draft, matching the 3rd-highest number of drafted players ever to enroll at UF.
~ The groups includes 11 freshman and one JuCo transfer.

* Florida went 52-16 last season and reached the CWS for the 5th time in the past 7 years.
The Gators earned a Top 8 National seed for NCAA play for the 7th time in 8 years, the best mark of any school in the country.

The Gators Fall Practice sessions are free and open to the public at McKethan Stadium.

Hopefully JJ goes on a kill-crazy rampage this year. Nice that the UA stepped up for Sully. Richly deserved.

Jackson Kowar is back at full strength after missing the end of 2016 with an injury. He's ready to be a huge part of the #Gators rotation.

Just when you start to think..."maybe insta ain't completely sucking the life out of this board"...a gator baseball thread in October...(sigh)...(pause)...(look at camera and roll eyes)....

Just when you start to think..."maybe insta ain't completely sucking the life out of this board"...a gator baseball thread in October...(sigh)...(pause)...(look at camera and roll eyes)....

But hey, the douche-bags couldn't wait to open the thread, read all about it, and then make their usual slimy runoff post about sucking the life out of a Gator sport and their student-athletes.

So thank you so much for your much needed contribution to a thread that SOMEONE LIKE YOU had the option to just pass on by unopened.... (dead-stare into your eyes)
(a sad-oozzing-dunny I guess)

And just in case the dumb-azzes here don't realize it, this is a Gator Sports board, NOT THE EXCLUSIVE GATOR FOOTBALL BOARD!

So if you're not interested in the other Gator sports, then do us all a favor and stop bringing your usual gar-barge' to threads that don't concern you. It's not like they take up any space that's needed by football threads...

Yea, as much as it pains MJWilliamson to agree with Insta and disagree with sad and Danny, MJWilliamson is a fan of all Gator sports.

It's a bye week....

 

[Dannygator1989]

I'll make two points:

1. I enjoy Gator sports (many times with basketball I use a long running shtick of hating it.

2. We're 5-1...come on guys.

 

[MJWilliamson]

It's October.

Why are we talking about basketball, baseball and softball?
