College basketball is here...and so are the baby gators.

Al Horford, Corey Brewer and Joakim Noah each left a year early to enter the NBA Draft. So why are the Florida Gators college basketball team name "The baby gators".

Because nine of Billy Donovan scholarship players, five are freshmens and three are sophomores. Donovan has a well-built freshman class led by guards Nick Calathes and Jai Lucas, both who are McDonald's All-American. Also, joining the core is Alex Tyus, Chandler Parson and Adam Allen, who were all top 50 players in high school.

Although Donovan left The Gators to go to the NBA, he came back because he felt it was the wrong decision. If there's one thing Donovan enjoys doing is recruiting. Not only did Donovan had one of the best recruiting class this year, he's already in line to have the best recruiting class coming in next year.

According to scout.com Eloy Vargas, Kenneth Kadji and Allan Chaney have verbally committed to play for the Gators next year. Two of three players are rated in the top 25 in high school. Both classes combine will bring some excitement to the fans in Gainsville, but until then, Coach Donovan will have his hands full with a lot of young and raw talent.

One way or another coach Donovan kids will be dancing very soon. It will not take long for him to get his team back to where they were. The media and the fans are not expecting anything great from this team this year, but just like last year, no one expected the Gators to repeat, and they did.

Yes its a rebuilding mode, and what a class coach Donovan has coming in. But if coach Donovan wins a national title within the next three years, he would have exceeded everyone's expectations, including me.

Baseball season is over.. but Marlins offseason talk begin

The biggest questions surronding the Florida Marlins organizations are? Are they getting a new stadium? and Will third baseman Miguel Cabrera and starting pitcher Dontrelle Willis come back.

The baseball season is over, but the general manager meetings are on the way.

There's alot of trade discussions right now with top these two Marlins players. The organization informed the media as well as other clubs that these two players would be avaliable but only for the right price. Right price you ask?

Right price means young prospect that are lock into minimum contracts for the next four to five years. For example, if any team wants to acquire a Dontrelle Willis or a Miguel Cabrera someone would have to give up a Phillip Hughes or a Joba Chamberlien. Or maybe a Lasting Mileage and Carlos Gomez. While the Yankees are always given up prospect to get good veteran players, this time, they want to grow within the organization and spend money wisely on younger players for the future of the organization.

According to ESPN,

Good players are always in need, that's for sure. I'm not talking specifically about Cabrera or Willis or Dan Uggla or [Hanley] Ramirez," Florida president of baseball operations Larry Beinfest said, mentioning many top Marlins. "When you trade really good players, you want really good players in return. You want talent for talent.

Other baseball trade discussion involved the Yankees center fielder Johnny Damon and Chicago White Sox third baseman Joe Crede. Also, there are rumors of New York Mets going after free agent pitcher Carlos Silva.

We can't talk baseball without talking about the 300 million dollar man. Alex Rodriguez has kept quite since he opted out his contract. The questions in the meetings this week was who's interested. So far, in the two long days of meetings, no one was interested.

This is all the big news from the meeting thus far, i'll get back when i hear something new.

Joe Torre was introduced as the new Los Angeles Dodgers manager

In the field of the Dodgers staduim, Joe Torre was made the 8th Dodger manager in franchise history. Torre, will lead a franchise that will celebrate its 50th birthday in Los Angeles.

Torre brings exeptional experience into the Dodgers dug-out; 12 straight playoff appearences, 4 World Series championship, and over 1,200 wins.

Now, Joe Torre doesnt have the superstar players in L.A. than what he had in N.Y. But he still has a good ball club with young talent. Torre, gets to manage top prospects like James Loney, Matt Kemp and Andy LaRoche. He also has some experience players in Juan Pierre, Rafeal Furcal and Nomar Garciaparra.

But the questions is can Torre bring back together a team, that last season couldnt get along. Yes, he can.

If there is one thing that Torre can do is manage players. He was able to handle superstars like Alex Rogriguez, David Justice, Gary Sheffield, and Kyle Farnsworth. He brings great deal of knowledge to the game of baseball and he's also great with the media. In such a place like L.A., Torre will have no problem getting along with the media. He will have great sound bites for the L.A. papers just like he did in New York.

Even though i am a huge Yankees fan, i am extremely happy for Joe Torre and his new team. He deserves it and every Yankee fan should be proud of what Torre did. Don't be surprise if the Dodgers win the World Series within three years.

Miami Dolphins had a bye week... that's a good thing.

This week was a good week for pro Florida football fans, but not for Florida college football. South Florida and the Miami Hurricanes but lost this week to teams like Conneticut and North Carolina State. On the other hand, the 0-8 Miami Dolphins had a bye week this week. But many are wondering what's going on with them?

By the way, did anyone see the way Wes Welker has been playing? The former DOLPHIN has been one of Tom Brady's primary target. He's also a punt and kick returner as well. But ofcourse the Dolphins didn't resign him last season.

It seems that no matter what the Dolphins do, whether its pick up the wrong quaterback in Daunte Culpepper and not Drew Brees, who by the way threw for 445 yards and 3 touchdowns this week. i think its time to shake up things in the Dolphins internal everyday operations. Can the Dolphins organization be shaken up by The Tuna . Acccording to Yahoo sports writer, Jason Cole,

It makes a lot of sense that the Dolphins would be a job he'd be very interested in if it came open," a source close to Parcells said Friday. "But only as the GM. I don't think he'll ever coach again.

I'll tell one thing. Bring Bill Parcells would be a smart move in the part of the Dolphins. He knows football. He has taken teams that needed help, fix them and made them winners. He knows talent when he sees it. The one question on everybodys mind is can Wayne Huzienga give control to Bill Parcells. But like i said, these are just rumors.

How good is Tom Brady?

This was the battle of the two best teams in the NFL and two of the best quarterback in the game. Tom Brady vs. Payton Manning, Indianapolis vs. New England, the battle of the unbeatens.

Indianapolis defense was unbelieveable during the first three quarters of the game. They hold Tom Brady under 150 passing and forced him to throw two interceptions. In the first seven games, Brady threw for 2 interceptions total.

So you know the Colts defense brought the noise to the Patroits. But, that's until the fourth quarter came.

And the world found out why Tom Brady is the best quarterback in the league, right now.

With under five minutes left remaining, Brady rallied New England back down 10 points to beat the Colts 24-20.

i felt the Colts defense let off in the fourth quarter. They didn't cover Patroits wide reciever Wes Welker, the fastest player in the team and they left one of the best reciever, Randy Moss, go deep.

With no running game, the Patroits knew that the only way to win this game was to stay close and throw it in the air. That's exactually what they did.
