who do we have from Cali that shouldn't be playing? Also why is Thornhill playing if they think this?


None. They should be. The comparison was made based on other analysis. Doyle, who I watched multiple games before she came to LSU, is going to be an excellent player. But, she was absolutely pathetic this fall and had 2 hits in all games combined. She was really, really bad but despite this performance it was never considered that she would not be given the opportunity since she was a good player from a good league.



I get it, but if it was based solely on what her history predicted and not what she did in the fall or the pre-spring. If it was based on her fall and pre-spring she would have never seen the field. In this case it seemed to not matter that she was really struggling and only matter that she was good before college with upside. In my opinion, that is the bias of Cali players. They have to prove over and over that they can't play while a kid from a small state doesn't meet the same burden.

It is so sad that you are such a "homer" you arguments have no facts. You spew this stupid bullshite that California kids get better opportunities then local kids. No wonder people around the country are warning kids from around the country not to go to LSU We have a reputation of hating players and knocking them if they are not from Louisiana. But as long as they win we act like we love them. I hope people from around the country don't read your posts. You makes us all look like idiots...so sad

This simply isn't true.

Everyone needs to step back and take the blinders off.

This is the biggest and most absurd conspiracy of all LSU sports. So basically we have a coach and a staff that recruited Dawson because she was a good athlete who didn't know how to play. You say that the staff has put down and diminished her accomplishments, to make her seem average and not dependable. All in order to secure Connies spot at 2B for her senior year. And you are now saying Dawson isn't playing because certain players from certain state are allowed to f up a lot more than others?

People don't seem to understand the importance of these practices which no one sees. Yes Doyle was going to see opportunities regardless because of how much potential she had at the plate, this team desperately needed more power. She has looked great in practice according to Torina. She doesn't freak out over fall games or small scrimmages because things change drastically

But someone from the massive softball state of Mississippi, who played early, is the reason Dawson's not playing. And Thornhill is playing. And Weinberger. And Satchell in front of Cunningham. And why isn't Andrews the no doubt starter then?
