What is it about her coaching that they seemingly underachieve or do they underachieve? Is it recruiting? Was HD on the national team a detriment since he wouldn’t be out recruiting??
I'd say development is the biggest issue to be honest. LSU believe it or not have a lot of talent and on paper talent wise LSU has been a top 10 team since the beginning of Beth's tenure talent wise but talent isn't the end all be all.
LSU just for some reason likes to be creative when they lose these days, it seems to be the all or nothing from one of the units (Pitching, defense, hitting).
But I think its 100% clear the pitching is going to be the downfall of this years team. The offense will literally have to try to bail them out more than not a good chunk of the season (and they already have in many games to be honest). Unless they can get Berzon somewhere where she is her freshmen year, its going to put an immense pressure everywhere else. Lynch is a 5th year senior, she is what she is and has never been a ace her entire career.

The offense is good enough to be top 3 in the SEC, the pitching is the huge issue and really it’s Berzon. Lynch and Chaffin have been good not great but you have to be ok with the way they have performed, Berzon has been a major disappointment for whatever reason. When most looked at LSU going into the season they had to think Berzon was a top 3-4 pitcher in the SEC, currently she isn’t a top 10 pitcher. If BT can figure out Berzon they can get back on track but the body language from Berzon last night was awful and not promising.

Is it development or recruiting? When you look at current roster many top players that are either 4th or 5th yr seniors after that where are the elite players? How is it possible that Coffey(senior)goes down and all you have is freshmen to replace her? What happened to the classes in between? I like what Saban said paraphrased you recruit your wins and you recruit your losses..I see it as a recruiting issue and busting on too many players imo

One thing Beth needs to change is, her recruiting radius. She spends way too much time recruiting the south and not out west. There are a few travel ball teams that she should have their schedule memorized; OC Batbusters, So Cal A’s, Corona Angels…. Look at our roster, it’s loaded with Texas players and while they may be good, they don’t face the same talent every weekend and during school ball. Example, Brigggs is a So Cal A and a two time gold glove winner. Look at Oklahomas roster, there’s 5-6 former OC Batbusters on that roster. I firmly believe that becoming a Mom has made her recruiting lazy and she does not like to travel that much in her off time. Oh yeah, she also needs to give up coaching 3rd, too many bad decisions.
