Oklahoma’s catcher
Posted by hessmersaint on 4/4/25 at 12:44 am
He looked like he was in slow motion when he was framing pitches. It was horrible, but the worst part is the umpire was falling for it. It was really bad.

Thanks
Maybe one day college baseball will be more accessible to everyone. It continues to grow in popularity.

I think Jay is one of the top coaches and recruiters in the nation. His work ethic is second to none, but there has got to be room for more than 4 Louisiana players on your roster over 2 recruiting cycles.
Either way I’m excited for the season and hope both of the these classes are major successes.
It would be interesting to see how many recruiting classes in the last 30 years has had only one LA player in it.

Is there zero talent from Louisiana for 2025 and 2026?
Jay has 3 commitments from LA in 25 and only 1 for 26. That’s 4 out of 35 total HS recruits, or approximately 11%.
I get that it’s good to be a national powerhouse, but I will always say that you need LA kids on these teams.
I am not criticizing him. I think he’s awesome as a recruiter and coach, but the lack of Louisiana players committed is unusual.
Off the top of my head LA major contributors to the 23 Championship:
Beloso, Morgan, Dugas, Jobert, Milazzo, Travinski, Pearson, Guidry and Garret Edwards.
Let’s go get the best players nationally, but not forget about the hometown guys while we’re at it.

FSU went 13-0 last year. They got a QB in transfer portal. How did that work out?
Their transfer did not work out this year, but they went 13-0 the year before with Jordan Travis, who was a transfer.
This list should be eye opening

1. Dillon Gabriel (Oregon)
2. Will Howard (Ohio St)
3. Quinn Ewers (Texas)
4. Kurtis Rourke (Indiana)
5. Riley Leonard (Notre Dame)
6. Cam Ward. (Miami)
7. Jackson Dart. (Ole Miss)
8. Jake Retzlaff. (BYU)
9. Shedeur Sanders (Colorado)
10. Sam Leavitt (Arizona St)
11. Luke Altmayer (Illinois)
12. Hajj Williams. (UNLV)
What do they have in common?
They all transferred to their current school.
All of these teams came into this weekend ranked in the AP top 25.
After today it looks like 6 or 7 of the 12 playoff teams will be lead by transfer QB’s.
Last spring I posted here that I thought LSU should use the portal for QB’s and focus high school recruiting on O Line, D Line and defensive backs.
I was called an idiot for those statements.
There will always be major QB talent in the portal bc only one can start for each team. It’s way harder to come by elite linemen in the portal.
I will always be skeptical of paying the majority of NIL funds for a QB who is coming straight from high school, no matter how highly ranked they are.

Dillon Gabriel, Cam Ward and Will Howard are all probably leading their teams to the playoffs this season. All transfers. I don’t know who will be available this year, but I would think there will be talent.

Pay a proven veteran qb in the portal?
I’ve been saying that the portal is better for the qb position. Now you’ve put all of your eggs in one basket and he flipped, but he could also be a bust. Who knows?
This is not to let BK off the hook bc the portal and now recruiting has been lackluster.

It was easy to laugh at Florida with Napier, but at least they can get out of his contract if they want to.
Two Cautionary Tales
Posted by hessmersaint on 11/16/24 at 8:46 pm
Jimbo and BK with 10 year contracts and massive buyouts. No coach aside from a prime Saban is deserving of that. Woodward should have learned the first time.
It feels like we’re serving out a prison sentence hoping for a parole hearing that won’t come.

Jay is going to have a time getting all these guys playing time. Almost everyone stayed/showed up on campus.
Great problem to have, I guess.

Teddy Cahill said that players drafted in rounds 11-13 are still likely to sign bc of overnight negotiations and money available.
