Coach O happened to pick up a recruit this weekend. Will enroll in 2 weeks.

This could be a huge pickup. If this kid has the goods, there's a very good chance he starts next year, probably in right field.

Welcome to the Gators, Harrison!

Stoked, looks like a solid get. Does anyone have a link to what our incoming class looks like? I see a few links on the message board, but nothing too specific. Looking forward to watching Sully build this program.

You sure about this one? :P

Nice! He hits home runs and has a cannon arm. Can he bunt (if needed) and can he run the bases (steal)? If he's coming in as a centerfielder, I'm sure he has wheels! This helps with the losses of PT and DPigg. Sweet pickup for Sully.

GO GATORS!!!!

Some really great quotes in the article, such as this one from his coach:

Owens went as far as to say Bader going to Florida is better than getting drafted. Florida, after all, has reached the College World Series the last three years, has won two of the last three SEC crowns and had nine players taken in June’s First-Year Player Draft, eight in the top nine rounds.

“If you want to go to school [to play college baseball], this is where you go,” Owens said. “There’s no kid in the country that would turn down going to Florida.”
