re: Antoine Harris, 2019, RHP, Chalmette (UNO commit)

My response was to illustrate that Harris isn't a Delgado recruit, and that information was already in the thread the guy didn't read.

But as far as LSU is concerned, for an in state pitcher to get much in the way of scholarship dollars, you pretty much have to be Aaron Nola or (potentially) Landon Marceaux. Most of the scholarship money goes to top of the line out of state pitchers.

It opens up the opportunity for that next tier of really good pitchers in state to get more money from the other schools in the state.

There just isn't enough money to spread around.

Are these numbers accurate? 39ip 71 k

It wouldn't surprise me if these numbers are accurate considering Chalmette's schedule. They try to schedule good teams and at least during the tournament part of the season they played some decent teams. District is complete garbage. I watched this kid pitch in a tournament earlier this year and he definitely looks the part. From what I saw the fastball is sitting 88-92, but control and the lack of consistent secondary pitches is his downside.

what do you think about Mike Thomas. Good coach been around awhile pretty good success.

jury is still out to me, but one of our most notable alumni doesn't really like him... He doesn't think he works the kids hard enough. I think the problems our teams face in all sports are bigger than the coaches...

But our expectations are higher than what we've achieved and that comes with the facilities we built. I feel like our athletics should be something like the Central or Zachary of NOLA... Outside of Mitchell Robinson, our playoff record in all sports has been atrocious

And this is not really Thomas's fault, but I wonder if we hired the best coach available when the job came open in '16, not knowing whom else applied. It seemed just a little convenient that he had history here, and it made sense that we always seemed to play Berwick and they were decent but never really great.

Zachary going in raw
