Baseball proves you can have a ton of talent, but that doesn't always equate to success!

In sports, most fans think a lot of talent will automatically turn into wins, but that's not always the case. The teams that have good leadership, chemistry, talent, experience, confidence, drive to win and the "it" factor are much more likely to beat a team that is supremely talented almost every time!
Last year's LSU baseball team had all that, with the most important part of that formula is having the "it" factor. Talent is nice to have, but it takes a lot more than that to win consistently. When last year's team was in a close game, you knew they were going to somehow find a way to win. This year's team doesn't have that confidence, leadership, strong desire to win and clearly don't have the "it factor."
This year's team has talent, but it's void of a lot of the other key factors that are needed to be elite. I believe this year's team has the makings of becoming a great team down the road, but the only problem with that is the NIL/transfer portal almost guarantees there will be a lot of new faces on the team next year.
I guess, it is what it is!

We have way too many young guys playing in key spots for them to have “it” factors.
Neal, Kling, Jones, Miliam.
They can be those “it” guys soon. But right now too young.

Texas aTm already proved that.

Paxton Kling gives me big time Mo Hampton vibes

All this talent is on paper, several of these highly regarded HS kids have proven they will never sniff MLB . Not only that they’re not even above average college players. Swings and misses occur on and off the field. This more than anything has led to our demise. Go get better players …..

If you got lots of talent WE’D BE WINNING!

I think this understates the LSU position.
Frankly, I don’t think we have a ton of talent.
Also, we aren’t just not hitting our potential, we are losing 4 of every 5 league games.
I wish we just weren’t clicking the way we could. It’s much worse than that.

Good teams need leaders and clutch players. LSU baseball is short on both.

I wouldnt expect much with Ed O 2.0 at the helm.
