But this is a flyball to Left, F7 moving toward line, UIC ball. Does this negate the rotation? So that U1 reads this and comes in and pivots... UIC stays home for possible tag up and play. OR would you still run the rotation. UIC up at third, with U1 taking possible play on R3 if tagup?

No rotation here. U1 must stay at first to keep R1 from cheating. If R3 tags and heads home, on the throw R1 will go to second. The first-base umpire must keep him honest.
R1 isn't going to third on this play, so there's not going to be a play at that base unless R3 bluffs and the left fielder throws behind the runner. If that happens, the third-base umpire (in C) will have a perfect view.
Everybody stays where he is.
