Here it all is. As may have said, this is a roster construction issue. He didnt hold back much here

Basically said he isnt sure if he can get any of it fixed tomorrow, but he’ll fix it through recruiting and this will never happen again

Definitely rolled the bus over the current group. Which ive never had a problem with doing that

It feels like he is saying he needs to take these PG 10 guys that he has been recruiting and get them on the field early enough so that they don’t transfer out and stop relying on these PG 7&8 guys that transfer from online colleges.

Oh man.

Literally saying the transfer class was a bust and we should’ve kept guys we let go. He’s at the end of his rope with this shite if he’s starting to be this outspoken about it

He has recognized the deviation and will fix the deviation...this season? That would be a hard ask

What makes this team look even worse than what they are , are the successes that preceded them.

There is not one facet of strength with this squad to wrap around and this absence is going to make for a longer season of frustration

Maybe, or maybe he will fight harder to keep the costellos and mikey ryan’s, and ashton larsons on the team

Jay is great but getting Skenes from Air Force and him turning into the best pitcher on the planet was by and large luck, nobody could've predicted it and I feel like it kind of warped everything after it. Enough transfers from Rhode Island and Grand Canyon.

He basically admitted this shite isn't getting fixed this year

I don't envy the coaches of today, you almost have to make guarantees to retain players like that and if they don't take the next step, everyone is asking why you didn't go to the portal.

I mean that's pretty obvious. This team can't execute simple fundamentals.

I agree. We aren't good at really anything.

Clearly a shot at Zach Yorke with the comment about power hitting coming from recruits and not portal guys

False. Skenes even said the LSU facilities and staff support helped him develop into what he was in ‘23

No trades or call uos in college baseball

He tried to short circuit the development process. Didn’t work, I do believe he is someone who will learn from this… but a real fix only comes in the offseason,

Basically what alot of folks have said here. Your base has to be built from Louisiana. U have to build with that as yiur base and then pick select players from other d1 g4 programs at positions of need. A closer a catcher a starter. But the majority has to come from homegrown kids from Louisiana.
