DJ Lagway flashes promise in Florida’s spring game, other Gators notes
Ouch! Putting it this way really makes it sink in what a tough schedule the Gators have this season. Hoping for the best possible outcome!
I agree that 6 wins won’t cut it for the most part, unless the Gators get a couple of big wins at the end against high ranked teams and the team seems to be gelling well together, especially if Lagway and other freshmen are showing a lot of promise. Then, I think that CBN would be retained to keep the team together, unless they had the opportunity to hire a sure fire winning coach (which is unlikely but never say never!)
With Mertz having the experience he does, he should be starting this season. I do think he’ll be QB1 for the season barring some regression. I am hoping that Lagway will have some special packages each game like Tebow did so he can get the experience and because he is a talented young man.
JTF that’s why Georgia hired their last basketball coach ;)
Very true, Doc! Here’s hoping… :)
I think they could get 6 wins, maybe more if the team really starts to click as the season progresses. I feel hopeful that they will improve from last season.
It was a fun game to watch. I think Lagway will be a lot of fun to watch this year as he grows and learns. Wilson was electric as usual, and I was impressed by Baugh. Smack definitely needs to stay healthy or the Gators will be in trouble. Overall I liked what I saw, given those not playing due to injury and that they will be working together as a team during the season.
Lagway turned around his high school team and made them a winning program so he’s up to the challenge of turning the Gators into a winning team. Time will tell but I’m excited to see what this young man can do. Both he and Mertz have good leadership skills and a team first mentality.
He’s probably paying them…
Go Alabama! It’s been a nice run.
Getting back to Omaha would be great!
Why in the world have they been covering the ACC so much?? Those writers must have really cried when UNC and Duke lost :)
Thank you, hope you had a great celebration as well!
Agreed, SEC baseball is a force to be reckoned with :)
Happy Easter!! Jac has been fun to watch this season, he’s improved quite a bit in his pitching and his bat has stayed hot. Here’s hoping that the young pitchers will get it figured out soon…
It was exciting!
Nice :)
Agreed Doc. There are few articles that are actually insightful.
I hope he learns from this, he’s got a good future ahead of him if he makes good decisions. I really can’t make sense out of anyone who drives under the influence when there are so many resources available to avoid that, from Uber to campus initiatives to calling someone in the program to pick you up. It seems like there have been many incidents like this one in athletics in general, and it’s so sad when it could be easily prevented.
Good analysis. I have been very impressed with Jac’s pitching improvement, if he continues like this he should be a high MLB pick. The Gators are hitting well, they need the young pitchers to develop quickly. It was a good series to watch.
It’s not Omaha, but LSU-Florida will be a good test to see if either team is good enough to get back
Should be a good series. Both teams have had ups and downs, but there’s still time to get it together down the road. If the Gator pitching doesn’t improve, they’ll lose a lot more games than expected.
Poor guy, praying for a full and speedy recovery.
Why all the ACC articles Neil?
It does seem a little soon for an extension. Fortunately the Gators won this evening. Perfect record against White so far!
Jac has been very impressive and so far he’s shown remarkable improvement. Besides him and a couple others, pitching has been a disaster. If they don’t figure it out soon, then the highlight of Gator baseball this season will be to see how well Jac does.
True. Once I read about it on another site I figured that it was just a matter of time before SDS wrote an article. :)
Very good points, Nash, Hayes should consult with you when writing future articles, then they would actually be good.
With latest assistant hire, Billy Napier sticks to his process despite shaky start to Florida tenure
Might well be ;) it is better for your basketball team to have more than 6 wins though.
This game surprised me also. I thought the Gators might have a chance to win but if they did that it would be close. The ODome is an electric place to play and given the strong home record it was an advantage for the team.
Hayes really enjoys beating a dead horse.

I agree about the stubbornness, but he’s shown himself more willing to make changes than Mullen so that’s a plus.
About the spark, with his leadership and/or his skills, I feel like Lagway will be a spark similar to Tebow; the question is will it be enough to help get the team enough wins this season? And yes, go Gators in all types of weather! :)
