    That's right, Justin has decided to follow Sully to Florida where they can compete for a Title. He better get his arms in shape..yep arms. Because they will expect him to be able to master the "Gator Clap"

    Good luck Justin. I can't wait to watch you on TV!!! Don't forget us TBR'ers

    Did he not sign a LOI to Clemson in the spring? If he did, I don't think he can change. When is the last time Floridaycompeted for a title in baseball? They had a losing record last year (29-30). If you want to compete for a title, stay in North Carolina or go to South Carolina.

    Well, 3 things

    - I'm not sure that he wanted to attend those schools. He had a great relationship with the pitching coach at Clemson. When the pitching coach was promoted, he was offered his release to move with him.

    - Florida was in the College World Series 3 years ago

    - I'm sure with the success of their other programs, Florida expects their baseball program to be at a consistent level. and with all of the talent in the state of Florida, there is absolutely no reason they can't attract that kind of talent to compete in the CWS.

    Hey guys...this is an exciting time for the kid, let's not make this a negative.

    Braves,
    Is this a done deal? Haven't seen any official announcements out of Clemson or UF yet.

    basically

    Justin got his release from Clemson a few weeks ago so he could sign with UF. He will be a Gator this fall.

    Big loss for Clemson. Big pick up for Florida. I have someone at home who was recruited by Sully, so I can understand your desire to follow him. Best Of Luck!
