Lack of homegrown kids in the lineup

I’ll preface my statement by saying I like Jay and think he’s an elite coach, but one of my issues with his recruiting style is the abundance of west coast and out of state kids. I understand they are all highly rated coming out of high school, but there’s a certain toughness and mentality with kids from Louisiana. Every LSU baseball team that has won a championship was littered with in state kids who grew up loving LSU baseball. It doesn’t mean the same thing to kids that don’t grow up here. Same holds true in football which is why I completely agree with Kelly’s approach in going Louisiana heavy in recruiting. This team would be much more inclined to battle than what we’re currently seeing.

What makes him elite? One CWS championship?

Yes, winning it all tends to make one elite.

Analytics and athleticism is the name of the game now. Cajuns ain’t known for being analytical.

How much homegrown talent does Vandy have?

Has there been any above average player on the team, in two seasons, that wasn't developed by another staff.
Vanderbilt appears to have better athletes and better coached players.
8-1 at present. This gotten to be embarrassing.

Always hilarious to watch the mental gymnastics people come up with for reasons when a team isn't doing well.
Posted on 4/6/24 at 3:32 pm to GeauxLSU4
we all want simple solutions, don't we. We won a championship last year because of Skenes and Crews. Neither are from Louisiana.

Meh, the unquestioned best players on the team last year were from California and Florida.
There’s nothing special about being from Louisiana.

What mental gymnastics? The proof is in the pudding. Every championship team we’ve had was full of Louisiana kids. This one isn’t and there’s not much fight in this team despite all these guys being highly ranked coming out of high school.

Nope, would rather Dylan Crews and Paul Skenes.
Posted on 4/6/24 at 3:33 pm to GeauxLSU4
Paul Skenes from Cut Off and Dylan Crews from Thibodaux.

So was the coach at Fresno State in 2008 an elite coach? How about Lemonis and Bianco? Do you consider them elite coaches?

And every non-championship team was too. Have you figured out why yet?

This team definitely needs some more baws

I like Jay but I guarantee these guys don’t think Ed O is elite

Guys like Skenes, Crews, and Bregman should supplement the core of the team like Beloso, Dugas, Morgan, Mahtook, Barbier etc.
