As a whole and not just limited to us, juniors with a first round draft grade
seem to suffer from "nagging injuries" in their last season of college football.
Very often for us these have been the recepients of the number 7.
Devon White is the only player we have had that had a first round grade and was significantly better his last year. Peterson and Campbell maintained their all american level and some others played well, just not quite as good as their sophmore seasons.

I think we are blaming Beth for lack of NIL funds situation. Softball has very
limited earning potential after college, so you really can't blame them for chasing the bag to get what they can get when they can get it.

With the popularity of our gymanstics and woman's basketball teams, softball lags far behind in support of women's sports and we will have a problem retaining good players from transferring to teams that will pay them significantly more NIL money

I fully believe that both conferences will expand to about 24 teams and their champions will meet for national championships like in the major pro sports.
Probably 3/4 games within your conference with the other 1/4 against Big 10 schools.

I don't buy that he didn't have a chance to start for us. Year after year, there is a player that hits his way into the lineup and Larson as a freshman is an example of that. This year Braun hit his way into the lineup and Serna/Arrambide went from a straight catching rotation to a catcher/DH rotation because of their hitting.

If Larson returned to the form of his freshman year, he probably beats out Stanfield even if he doesn't get hurt Turns out Larson probably would have strated most of the season if he hit well anyway because of the injuries to Stanfield and later to Brown

I'm sure most of those players want to see their NIL value and aren't specifically unhappy at LSU. Unfortunately softball doesn't have much earning potential after college except for the true elite players. Just look at Texas Tech bringing in all americans off of really good teams because they paid them more NIL money.
With questionable future earning potential, you can hardly blame the players for chasing the bag. With footbal and basketball, I feel many players are hurting their long term earning for a short term payoff which, while being a good chunk of money, is a drop in the bucket to a pro contract for a good player.

There was a major issue with our O line when Moott was here.
I don't care how strong a player is, your technique must be good to
be a good O lineman. When our line failed to get a good push against
lesser opponents, it was genereally assumed by our fans that they weren't strong enough. While strength is a necessity for O lineman, if they can't put that strength with good technique, they aren't going to effective. While I was never sure how good Moffitt was, I was sure that we were certainly strong enough to look much better than we were.

Hopefully we have corrected this situation to now have great coaching along with superior strenth and conditioning

Because it’s his right hand it’s possible he could DH, definitely vantage catch. It all depends on the swelling going down to allow him to grip the bat

It also appeared that Curiel was getting pulled after the first. Stanfield was in center and Braun had moved to right, then Curiel came out of dugout and Braun went back to first base

Wonder what was going on?

Guidry has th appearance at times of being effective. This is
because the batter knows he’s going to make a mistake sooner
than larer and they are just waiting on that fat pitch. This is the reason
he has a good many strikeouts, but Avery high percentage of the
hits he gives up are homers.

As good as he is, he doesn’t have the range Bregman did, so
it’s very close which one is the best
