My grandfather is good friends with Vernells family, when I went on my visit to UF I was compared to him at the time. He was a good guy to have in the program for sure, I was always rooting for him to play more because I knew his effort was great and he wanted to win.
I myself would have been a second generation Gator legacy had I not gone to Alabama, my grandfather played baseball at UF in the 60's..This post was edited on 2/22 7:11 PM by 46885
