I know that is the intent, but the courts have already ruled that players can't be restricted from being paid. The NCAA rules won't hold up in court. It is simply a free for all, pay to play, and NCAA rules won't stop it. The whole NCAA attempt to get a handle on things was way too little too late and that agreement will be challenged and beaten every way from Sunday.
Scrappy - I want to hire whoever taught the last 2 Pace pitcher to pitch, I can almost 100% guarantee you it was NOT the coaches in their HS. I still think we should hire or should have hired Laura Rothrock who not only taught Keegan but many other D1 pitchers and knows all the good pitchers from 8th grade on. I still have a "juries out" on Stephanie. I could care less about someone crying about nepotism.
The only reason I can think of for not hiring her is the pay cut she would have taken. I agree with the Pace coaches outside the high school.

If you watch Amanda's home run in its entirety, it kind of looks like she is about to get a wedgie from one of the players right at the end.
Top Softball Prospect Cali Decker Announces Return to Florida Gators, Turns Down Tennessee and Texas Tech - Basesport
It’s a scam. She’s out of eligibility. they’ve been doing announcements like that recently with players that have graduated already
After her mother bashed CTW, I don’t think that he would let her back in. Besides that she was in Reagan‘s and Kendra‘s class. She should’ve graduated this year. I don’t think she has any eligibility left.
Okay, I am laying it out; I am stoked on our incoming freshman, Leah Stevens. I think she will be an outstanding pitcher for the Gators.
Got a pitcher from fgcu. Era is really low. She started against us. Pitched 1 inning. 6 hits 6 earned runs. Tim sees something in her that he can work with
I’m too old and don’t know how to work the phone to post the picture I saw. Her name is Allison Sparkman
It appears that we are supposed to put the transfers in the transfer portal thread. Whodathunkit? LOL Apologies for this and let me know if I need to delete my post.
I don’t know much about Forums. It seems odd that a single thread has 12,538 messages on 628 pages. Sure would be great to have a separate forum for key sports and a lot better for members to navigate and keep subjects organized.
This Ongoing UF Softball Commentary thread has been used for continuous, year around discussion of Gator softball and anything related to it. During the season there are separate threads for just about every game, plus one was started to discuss this year's transfer portal, not just for the Gators but for any portal issues, teams or players anybody wants to bring up. I think it's pretty cool that there's been an ongoing UF Softball thread going for over 3 years. Shows how much interest and passion some of us have for Gator softball. But to each his own.
