    Don't know but I can confidently say it isn't close to the kind of money being thrown at a few players.

    Give me Savannah Cook from GCU (2nd Base) or Sophia Knight from Boise State (outfielder) and that would be perfect. We have the pitching, we need bats and speed and these two have it.

    Cook went 50/50 stolen bases this year while batting .505 and only had 5 errors with a fielding percentage of .974

    Knight swiped 27 bags, battled .486 and had 103 hits this year.

    Cook at 2nd - Mia at 1st - Knight in left field, Townsen in right field and Taylor in center field

    This sounds like a pretty good get. Addison Amaral, a shortstop from Notre Dame led the team in hitting at around .360 with some power and only 7 errors at short. I believe she is going to be a senior.

    This also sounds interesting. Going to be a junior. Led New Mexico State in hitting at .430 with 20 home runs and 47 rbis. 3.54 era with 118 strike outs in 114 innings.

    Don't forget about Layla Lamar. She plays 1st or 3rd and will be hard to knock out of a starting position next year, IMO.

    She'll be a senior. Really outstanding pitching numbers.

    I know DJ is obviously a big factor for Ava, but I also know she really loves being a Gator and her teammates. I honestly don't see her leaving.

    The others you've mentioned also seem to love being Gators, unless Oxley's confidence knock takes her elsewhere, which I don't think it will, as we know how good the support is here, I think we are safe with the above names.
    I remember reading last season when we were discussing Canady, about how CTW only recruits players that he feels have the right fit, the right attitude etc for the Gators, and I think that one of those factors is that it's not about the money.

    At least I hope so :)

    Don't wish to lose Oxley, I think she will be awesome in time.

    I didn’t forget about Layla, her primary position is 3rd base and she told me she prefers the hot corner.

    I am talking about portal acquisitions and the limited positioning i mentioned was to support where to put the potential two that I would like to see come here.

    Layla lack of height may keep her off 1B anyway.....hopefully she has the range for third

    We need some clutch hitters that is for sure. But who exactly has improved in Year 2 of being coached by Aric Thomas other than Mia Williams?
