Jay doesn't push guys over 100 pitches on the first weekend.

Yep. Last year his starters went 67, 81, and 83 pitches. Very reasonable for a college staff. For HS kids I'd back that off a little just to be safe. Maybe 60-70 pitches assuming long toss started in December.

Was there a call to prayer for Laken Riley or Rachel Morin? I can't remember.

it’s why basketball isn’t a serious sport the players are too big and fast and officials are slow, out of position, and completely control the game, especially at the collegiate level. there is no point watching games and being a fan unless you purposely enjoy feeling angry and frustrated often

I hear this a lot and somewhat agree, but what’s the solution?

re: How do culinary practices differ between North and South Louisiana?

Posted by RidiculousHype on 2/6/26 at 12:56 pm to Rankest

North Louisiana is the same culturally as the rest of the I-20 corridor in MS and AL. Protestant, more country cooking like you'd find at Cracker Barrel. Lots of butter, starches, baked/fried meats, veggies. South Louisiana is in a category of its own. More seasoning, more spice, more gulf seafood. Even within South Louisiana there are differences. For example New Orleans jambalaya is lighter in color and uses tomatoes, but the small towns around Lafayette don't use tomatoes and it's more brown.

As a freshman he was the starting 1B for a 5A varsity team that won 33 games. Are there 20 freshmen who did more?

I get the value in measurables but sometimes a kid can just play.

LSU Recruiting

re: Mascona said Will Wade not happening

Posted by RidiculousHype on 1/29/26 at 4:00 pm to Louisianabound88

Everything he says here is true; however, LSU in 2026 is not the same thing as LSU was in 2021.

That said, for him to leave NC State after one year, there would have to be some major things going on behind the scenes. Like admin lying to him, undercutting him, etc.

I give it about a 15% chance as of today.

this is not really true and some myth that continue to exist. all you have to do is go look at the select fest going back the first year which was Dylan Crews 14u year and look and see how many of those went big time D1.

usually the best 12u kid is the best 16u kid in the state. not always but usually or they atleast remain towards the top.

I do agree that the top 25 kids on a national level will tend to continue to be near the top, especially when you add the Caribbean nation kids. I was more talking about locally, and for the purposes of LHSAA baseball. In watching the players my kids grew up playing with/against, it's been really hard to predict. Some of the best kids had hit puberty early and did showcases year round got passed up later. And some of the ones who were fundamentally sound but still had the high-pitched voice ended up developing late and becoming monsters.

But as far as looking at LHSAA programs and trying to project the strength of future classes, I think depth is the most important aspect. I'd be more excited about a deep class of kids who have played competitive youth baseball than having 1-2 hot shots who've been told how great they are but may be done growing. If that makes sense..

they dont even realize that 2030 kids have national rankings out already(14u- 8th graders) and that the 2031 kids (13u-7th graders) started PBR showcases this spring and have the big national showcase this summer before the national rankings come out next year. the really good kids are trying to position themselves to get picked for the junior future games

To be fair, a lot of this is a money grab and is kind of irrelevant in the big picture. A lot of the best players in those age groups are early bloomers and turn out to be average players in high school, and the opposite is true for the late bloomers.

I agree that it's fun to track players as they grow up, but I find there are generally more surprises than sure bets.

re: Cortana Mall question

Posted by RidiculousHype on 1/28/26 at 9:51 pm to TigerDCC11

I must have gone to Cortana a million times in the late 80s and early 90s but somehow I don’t remember this theater at all. I do remember Chick Fil A and Mama Brava and Orange Bowl.

My earliest movie memories are seeing The Bear at the Essen theater and Land Before Time at the Broadmoor theater.
