I’m in the middle on this one. Wanted him to stay because he has a ton of talent. But wasn’t as impressed with him as many others seem to be. Going to A&M sucks.

When do you think we got his commitment?

What happens to the really good players who need a year or two to be ready to start for LSU and we definitely want them but no there’s no spot. They will get dumped to “bad” D1 teams or Juco. And really good programs may not have a spot for those guys in 2 years because they have a full high school class now. That’s what I meant by fricking with the transfer portal in the OP. Many schools will go all in on HS talent with their NIL and try to develop them for a year or two. While others will look to transfers but do good players transfer after two years or go to MLB? They’ve already had the college experience and made a little money. Their stock is already way up. Would they want to get their pro career started? Does this really solve any roster questions prior to the draft if you’re waiting for a transfer to see if he goes top 3 rounds?
This isn’t nearly as cut and dry as people are making it out. “Yay, LSU gets more studs!!!1!” Well, maybe. Maybe not.

The real purpose of this is eliminating HS players who dont sign after being drafted and hence member team loses a draft pick.

Yeah, I don’t know why people are thinking this would change the leverage situation other than moving it up a year.

Not as written, definitely not. Lockout incoming.

If tweet fails to load, click here. My thoughts: People’s knee jerk reaction is to think this benefits the big teams like LSU. But I’m not so sure.
The real purpose of this is to shrink the minors and let the college teams (boosters) take over the majority of those costs: players salary and development investment. MLB teams are already going down the road of “sponsoring” some college teams and that would greatly increase. Who gets who may not be as easy as playing in front of a big crowd or for a championship. NCAA would absolutely have to adjust coach and roster sizes. I’m not sure how the transfer market gets impacted. It could shrink it if teams decide there could be more value in freshman. But if you side with developing over results, you may forfeit winning from year to year.

I didn't interpret that as a pitching coach problem.

Throwing hard has always been there. It became almost a sole focus about 15 years ago about the same time hitters started only trying for HRs and catchers dropped to a knee for every pitch. But recently with the growth of trackman data, spin rates and vertical depth have almost replaced velocity as the IT thing for young pitchers.
A whole lot of nothing there honestly.

There’s fixing and there’s making things worse. Yeskie thought he had guys who could open up every AB with swing and miss and then finish the AB with swing and miss. When good batters weren’t getting fooled, there was no backup plan. It was an odd reversal of throwing to contact vs develop dynamic pitches. Kids used to grow up learning how to throw strikes then pick up velocity. Then it became throw it harder and we can figure out the zone later. Now they’re being taught how to spin it more and throw it harder. Forget location. I know that benefits some but it can’t be the only approach which is what we had.

Out of school and bored so just going to start troll threads to pass the time?
Didn’t Lester start a thread following players who left?
