LSU going all in on Baseball

It looks like LSU is saying f it in football and basketball.
The 24 class has 13 top 100 players with a Avg player rank of 10.95. I can't find another class since they have been keeping up with it that is close to this.
Poor Texas only has 5 with the avg player being 7.52.
25 class already has 11 top 100 commits with the avg player being 11.75.
LSU is all in on buying championships on the Bayou.
Tenn is second, spending big money, but its not close to what LSU is doing.
LSU fans are going to enjoy the revival of LSU baseball dominance.
Hats off for going all in!
Edit: Seems some tigers are melting over this. Its a tip of the cap, it is impressive the classes and portal players you are getting.
PLEASE DON'T ACT LIKE JIMBO AND THE AGGIES WHEN THEY COLLECTED THAT GREAT CLASS IN FOOTBALL.

We've kind of been having these classes for a while. Like 30 years. The difference is with NIL that we can get a large portion of the kids to campus.

Yes, problem with these "holy shite" recruiting classes is getting the kids to actually come to campus.

What a pitiful excuse for a baseball program

Definitely the right move for LSU in the NIL era.

We’ll win multiple football championships before Ole Miss lucks up and wins anything again.

The MSU booster thread gave you this whizbang idea of a thread
You really think about LSU a lot

You sound upset. I hope it gets better for you.

How many in our class have a risk of going pro?

This is where their NIL money goes. They bought players last year that weren't just the good, they bought All Americans from their current schools. Now they are offering high school stars more than they would make their rookie seasons in the professional ranks. They are using the portal and NIL to kill it in baseball.

Honestly a smart move. Why be second fiddle in football and MBK when you can rule the secondary sports?

I understand most people don’t follow LSU baseball recruiting, but for the past 20 years players have signed with us only to use us as leverage in contract negotiations. It gives them a soft landing if the negotiations fall through.
But a lot of what we have now is due to Covid. The evaluations of kids was fricked up, the draft was only 5 rounds, and you had Covid years.
Plus the draft was shortened to 20 rounds in 2019 (which we are back at now) so this has more kids going to college.
Throw in NIL where these kids can make some money and can postpone having to live a shitty life on the road in the minors, and you get to where we are now.

The Prep kid I'm sure is going pro along with many others in that class.
But that still is impressive and LSU is kicking some rear with that NIL money no doubt.

By hiring a coach for like $75M guaranteed? Not to mention he's won everywhere he's been
But yes Jay Johnson is absolutely mopping up recruiting, and will be able to get more of these highly rated kids to campus with NIL these days than you would have in the past.
