Yes. This is obvious to anyone that follows the program. They also recruit ready-to-play players in the transfer portal every single year. The young players who do not show promise are generally not told to leave, but LSU’s main objective is “win now”, and they have been using the correct potion.


You also can't really compare the 2023 team to now. Things have moved so quickly that it's almost a different world now.

There aren't really any teams across the country as homegrown as that team was. And we still needed essentially the best pitcher ever to hit the portal and one of the top hitters to ever hit the portal.

LSU won 2 out of the last 4 because we had returning players who were trained and succeeded at LSU. not one and done's across the board.



The formula hasnt really changed the last couple years to next season at all, not sure what you're trying to get at.

Milam is back
Braun is back
Arrambide is back
Serna is back

That's 4 returning position starters. all that started here

Pearson, Patrick and Ruckert are also back that started here and have a chance to win a job potentially if they can.

Evans and Schmidt are 2 home grown starters coming back; Cooper Moore didnt start out here but is returning for a 2nd season here, not a "1 and done". What mass wave of 1 and dones are here exactly?

Of the 8 portal additions, 4 are not considered 1 and dones, only 1 is even a senior; Wachs could easily be a 2 year guy here as well.
