Yes, I've read everything about Kelly that I possibly could. I'm just not a big fan, but I'm going to trust Johnson.

Not a name I knew before last week, but from everything I've read, it's a solid hire, that has the potentially to be a home run, given that he's going to have a consistent flow of talent to work with here. If he could recruit like he did at Washington, of all places, he'll do really well here, and Jay Johnson is already an elite recruiter, himself.

I like it. And this seems like a guy who likes this role, which was something I eluded to earlier today about how I thought Johnson might be looking for more stability than hiring a guy like Childress who will probably be a head coach again very soon.

Sounds like kelly was his top choice.

Who else was actually interviewed?

The whole coaching staff is littered with recruiters who also actually coach
I like it!

Outstanding coach.

* D1Baseball.com tabbed Kelly as the National Assistant Coach of the Year in 2018 following the Huskies' run to the College World Series.

Coach Johnson personally knows Kelly … Great hire.

Well, either 50% or 2/3 are, depending on if you count the volunteer.

Who is the whole coaching staff? I thought we just had JJ and Meatball Kelly.

Rather Kelly than the other guy on his staff that he was thinking about bringing

Still need some local or southern tie with two west coast guys so far

Arizona’s head coach and ASU’s pitching coach. Both of them known for developing players.

That’s what we have been lacking for years. It’s an exiting time to be a LSU Baseball fan.

Johnson is known for developing pitchers? Where did you get that from?

Misread players as pitchers.

Hard to trust Johnson when his entire tenure at Arizona produced shitty pitching Kelly is a meh hire-


Wrong school! You should probably re-examine then come back.
