There is a lot of data that one knee down w a kickstand is an advantage on borderline calls, receiving, better blocking on balls in the catchers box by about 25% and no signifiant change in pop time
Also shows that the improvements are a net run gainer for your team.

What about the way our catchers give the target, then they drop their mitt to the ground, and then bring it back up fast to catch the ball?
What is the purpose of doing that?

That may be true for a few catchers but your telling me that our catchers are better at blocking balls in the catchers box this year by 25%. What games are you watching. Multiple pass balls through the wickets have cost LSU dearly, simply because we can't get our glove down in the correct manner. The amount of strikes you so called "Steal" in college will never amount to the number of bases/ runs you allow with multiple pass balls with runners on. Please rewatch the game last night and tell me Neal is an elite receiving catcher from a knee.
There are undoubtedly catchers that can operate on a knee they just don't play at LSU.
