he bitched bc he was stuck in mississippi and states like louisiana and georgia had state scholarship programs that allowed the teams to use to their advantage

lsu can take kids who are on tops, and only give them what they need for room and board, and then use the other scholarships for other players that are out of state or wouldnt qualify for tops

This. The roster limit was put in place because schools in Louisiana, Georiga, etc. would have a mammoth advantage by loading their rosters with in-state players without using baseball scholarships and then giving their baseball scholarships to top players from other states. They often were able to bring in top talent from other states because they could give them more scholarship money because they weren't using it on in-state players.
