Exactly how is a coach take a HC gig JJ’s fault? I agree it’s a problem, but it’s not a problem that you can blame on anyone. If they can stabilize with Yeskie, I think we’ll see a lot these young guys look very different come 2025. This year has been a problem. ...

re: Tommy Tanks is A Stud

Tommy has a GOOD college arm. He’s got a ways to go before he’s a starting MLB 3rd baseman. Not saying he won’t get there, but he’s not at this point. He’s much more likely to end up as a DH or at 1st. His bat will carry him to the show and some manager will figure out how to get him in the line...
1. This will improve with time and data as we get deeper into the season. There’s not enough film and/or scouting on most SEC pitchers to form a solid approach. As we get deeper into the season and that data becomes available, look for hitters to improve and start barreling up more pitches as they s...
[quote]Just say you’ve never watched him play[/quote] I watched a good bit, actually. Not saying he’s a bad QB, but there are at least 10 better in the country. ...
No list with Sheduer in the top 10 should be taken seriously. ...
Went double cut to 3rd with 2B and SS. Couple different variations of that play. Some have the 1st baseman trailing to second, others have the CF coming in to 2nd. All that to say, it’s a designed defensive play with runners on and a likely double to the RF wall. ...
Every hitter is sitting dead red on a fastball they can smash on 2-0 and 3-1 counts. This is normal. ...
[quote]I vote we enjoy Holman for who he is and not try to compare him to Skenes.[/quote] They are two different types of pitchers who (at least for now) are getting similar results in an LSU uniform. That alone is enough and should be fun to watch for any Tiger fan. ...

re: LSU really broke UT

It’s based on the academic year. OU and UT join starting in the 2024-2025 school year. ...
[quote]Love how coach is handling him.[/quote] CJJ did a great job of this last season as well. No one went beyond 70ish pitches until SEC play. Give these kids arms time to condition and get out of cooler weather before he starts extending them. Masterful staff management. ...
You know the great thing about circumstance? It can change and/or be changed. I completely agree that not everyone starts from the same starting blocks. Some families have had a half-dozen generations to build those starting blocks for the future generations. Some have been stuck in the cycle of...
Pretty sure he was from Lake Charles. ...
BK is as experienced as it comes in the coaching profession. Woodward isn’t pulling strings. If anything, Woodward may have initially been a sounding board for BK as he sought coaches with Louisiana ties for recruiting purposes. It’s also pretty well known in coaching circles who the top tier po...
Raymond is from New Iberia. The kids there value that. Westgate has really only come on strong with recruits here in the last 5-6 years. Before Kayshon, I can’t remember a big time recruit come out of there. You had Jared Mitchell, but he was much more of a baseball prospect than football. But ...

re: Raymond's first task

[quote]This is a better task to put him on. Local kid we have a legit shot with.[/quote] And they’re from the same town. Amos should be a lock. ...

Man, BK Isn’t F*$&ing Around

Posted by ibleedprplngld on 1/16/24 at 5:54 pm
This defensive staff is absolutely ridiculous. Top up and coming coordinator, who also happens to be a great LB coach. 2 of the best DLine coaches in cfb and now Raymond back on the fold. I’m not saying it’ll happen next year, but this Defense will be a top 20 defense before long. ...
[quote]Dabo and Kirby, and Dabo ain't doing too hot lately.[/quote] The list is longer than that. And Dabo would be on it. I agree. But he’s not in the SEC. If you take today’s Kiffin and put him at USC, he makes the playoff. I also don’t think making the playoff is the only measurement for b...
[quote]Are we pretending he hasn't gone up against Lanning, Sark, Riley, etc.?[/quote] Are you really saying Sark, Riley and Lanning are elite? 1 had been blown out in every opportunity in CFP and ran away from the SEC. One has failed consistently when facing equal competition (except a strug...
I don’t think UW can afford him. Drinkwitz is poised to take over the next major job that comes available. Florida will make a run at him for sure once Sunbelt Billy gets ousted next year. ...
[quote]Stop buying into the narrative that this guy is a great coach.[/quote] Eh, I think the guy is a good coach. Regardless of where he built it, his resume is impressive. Now, you can argue that he’s been going against coaches who were not on his level. That I can buy. How does he fair whe...
