this thread makes me wonder if Will Clark was the most important recruit in any sport that LSU didn't get...

he was a badass at Jesuit around that time and went to Miss St. when Skip was just starting out...

i wonder where other similar baseball players went in that time period when LSU was a nonentity?

maybe they took less money to sign when drafted? UNO was good in the 80s but not before then...

Lamabe was a jerk while recruiting Will Clark and lost him to MSU as a result.

UNO was great in the 1970's, too. UNO was the first school in the state to go to the D2 CWS ('74) and the D1 CWS ('84). When LSU saw what Ron Maestri was doing, they went and hired a real coach. The rest is history.
