    I really was hoping we'd land Pannell. From what I heard she was very much in our grasp. We jsut dont compete in the NIL world. I dont know what Keagen makes, but I do know I've heard what Falby made and some others and its crazy we have what we do.

    Everyone has heard about Canady and the $1M. Obviously that's an extreme outlier. What would someone like "Falby and some other's make?" I just have no idea the range we are talking for a "very good" player.

    The days of being able to recruit them to be gators just ‘because’ it’s great to be a Florida gator may all but be over. It’s show them the money time . And if you can’t run with the big dogs then you mights well stay on the porch.

    In fairness, money has always been involved, it is just that direct payments have changed things. The competition / $$$ used to be with facilities. UF used to have the advantage. Now it's a straight money grab, unfortunately.

    I wonder if we had much left after renewing Schmaker?

    No problem Ocala, as to my dislike earlier. I respect your comment about being a great addition if added, but at basically a 1 to 1 ratio of strike outs to free bases last year (In the ASUN), I would hope we could attract someone more like your latest post about Miali entering the portal. She has a better than 2 to 1 strike out to free bases ratio, and is doing it in the SEC (Ole Miss). That’s is more like the pitcher I was hoping to draw. Command is one of those innate skills that I would hope our pitchers have when they arrive. No worries though. Go Gators.
