5 national championships between 1990-2000. Hard to imagine a kid from Louisiana not going there if given a chance.

Is there any players that almost picked that ended up dominating at another school?

Guys that were drafted straight out of high school don't count.

Wade LeBlanc from Barbe was Alabama’s ace. Don’t remember if that was at the end of Bertman or beginning of Smoke.

Trying to make one last run at it in 2001 and bringing in all those misfit transfers. They had talent but that team was a hot mess

Bertman would not allow a player to pitch and play another position. That was his way and I am not saying that it was wrong, but we lost several players that wanted to do both. I remember a guy named Aubrey from Shreveport that ended up at Tulane and was a stud. There may have been another guy that we missed out on in that era that also went to Tulane and did both. I remember a guy from Baker or Central that we lost because he wanted to pitch and play a position. His name escapes me now...

Kenny Holubec from Houma, La. Played at ULM from 1997-2000. He was 23-5 and is still the strikeout record holder at ULM with 321.

I wonder what the list would look like of players that came to LSU because of Skip and Smoke?
