I think Jay needs to stop filling the staff with a bunch of high ceiling guys that have to learn to pitch and start recruiting more Cowan like guys. Guys that may not throw 95 but can hit spots and have an out pitch. Sure you take some high ceiling guys but you need reliable college guys too.

Excellent post. Jay needs to use the portal for proven experienced pitchers and not projects or pitchers with a possible high ceiling. Cowan is a great example, Eyanson is another. Unfortunately Sherrin may have been a third. High school recruiting is for high ceiling pitchers that you have time to develop.

Did Paul skenes score the runs too

No, but the players that were recruited by Maineri did.

All this may be true, but the schedule is going to get much tougher in the 2nd half of the SEC season. I highly doubt we finish with a 10-5 record for the remaining games.

That’s why they needed to at least take one this weekend. The remaining SEC schedule is harder. 20 wins is a stretch now. I believe hosting a super regional will be difficult. Tennessee, Arkansas and a revitalized A&M gonna be tough.

One week of enhanced tariffs isnt breaking a countries economy. Chinas economy is already doomed due to past practices.

The fu@&$ it doesn’t. You know how much exports are scheduled to leave China every week for the USA. Now add a huge tariff on that and see how much goes actually goes out and how much is canceled. The liberal media may deny it, but we have their full attention.

Jay brought in Skenes Cooper Hurd Jones Guidry Several others and had to rerecruit Beloso after his knee injury. The lefty right fielder

2023 Maineri recruits : Cruz, Morgan, Thompson, Dugas, Belaso, Travinski, Jobert, Malizzo, and Pearson, basically ever good hitter but White and Jones. 2 out of his first 3 seasons were below LSU’s expectations, reaching a super regional. This season? I’m not saying Johnson is not a good coach, just not an elite coach.
Coach O says hello, lightning in a bottle.

How’d Maineri do with said players?

These players were mostly veterans for Johnson: Dugas, Belaso, Cruz, Morgan, Travinski, Malliso, Jobert. Dugas anad Belaso were utilizing extra COVID years. Laval could have probably succeeded inheriting those guys.
Jay won a natty with mostly Maineri players, especially the hitters.

No… Jay’s got it. He’s the miracle man.

Like I’ve been saying, he was the miracle man with Maineri’s recruits.
Don’t know about firing anyone, but it seems like either Johnson or Yeskie missed with Dutton big time. For a pitcher to go to another SEC team and be their ace shows a failure of the LSU coaching staff.

Why has BK's most success at Red Stick been with that horrible roster?

The ugly truth is BK surprised teams his first year. He comes up short when teams are ready for him.
Kelly is Miles 2.0, never do anything great, just keep the majority of the fan base off his back. He a maintainer not an overachiever. Orgeron put together a roster and coaching staff that gave us the greatest season in college football history.

Mulkey easily. I’m not sure Jay’s better than BK. TBD

Mulkey hired herself, Jay won a natty, Jay’s the best hire.
Let it go. The bigger problem is kids throwing junk at to early of an age.

Saban did. NIL and the portal changed everything. Under the previous college structure Saban would would’ve stayed at least another 3 or 4 years. Just listen to him talk about the current college football situation.

Its only going to get worse unless something is done, so a lot of these old school all time great coaches are just going to keep dropping off because they just don't want to deal with this bullshite anymore

This is why Saban left. She’s starting to sound like Saban. It’s worse than pro sports. No contracts, no salary caps, no consequences. Never thought I would see college sports become worse than pro sports.

They played 3 and Texas swept. I actually like the way LSU handled it. I can't stand starting a game when you know weather is coming. Pitching is greatly impacted.

She's a volume shooter who needs to dominate the ball and shot attempts to do well. We weren't gonna take the ball out of other players' hands, who outperformed LVH, to let her score more points.

She now we have others that dominate the ball and don’t do well.

re: Aggies 1-8 in sec play.

A&M - loaded team with unproven coach, 1-8, Texas- great coach from A&M, 8-1. Coaching cannot be underestimated.
