Have you heard anything about Olivia Lackie and LSU being on the talks at all?

Could be mistaken but I thought she was or is committed to South Alabama

Pretty sure Beth recruited her, they were in talks before not sure exactly what happened or the reasons

LSU's 2020 class is already full

But she's a really good pitcher. I've only seen her play once but she throws a lot of strikes

RATeamWannabe is a poster who could know more on her situation. I see they are online rn


I can't comment anymore because I really don't know

She is 2020 correct?


Usually Torina takes one pitcher per class unless we graduate multiple pitchers.

Morgan Smith is supposedly well regarded. Well her offer list says she's very good and well respected

how hard does Olivia throw?

Unless Beth has a change of heart, she won’t be at LSU.

If she was 2019 Beth would easily take Lackie over Taylor Edwards out of De La Salle

She's been a mess lately on the mound the last two years

I disagree. Not on taylor being a mess, but on taking lackie. There are “issues”.

I know there are some issues, I know Beth had some interest well she liked her a lot at first I know that. I don't know the specifics she doesn't like on her mechanics

but Beth is very particular about what she looks for in pitchers


Isn't Taylor playing for Texas Bombers?

She got a bit of commitment disease. Most kids go through it. But not having Coach Barksdale breathing down her neck all summer and fall is hurting her.

Well this is a major problem, that could possibly put her way behind at LSU. Who coaches her now? I've heard Taylor is on a tight leash, not sure how much tighter it could be based off her work ethic as of now

hope she can turn it around but she's a concern for the 2019 class, pretty sure all if not most the top pitchers are already committed

Shame I think she will be a really good one at the next level, wish LSU could have her. Curious what Beth didn't like about her exactly

I saw Raelin Chaffin threw a no hit no run game vs North DeSoto earlier today, 14K's and 0 walks


But yea Taylor has been drilled all season this year, she isn't even the damn ace at her hs as of now

Not sure how Beth could hand out a scholarship to that if there aren't major changes soon. NSD is 8 months way.

Florida already has 2023 and 2024 commits its frickn insane

honestly I don't approve of how the recruiting is done now, its hard to measure where kids end up down the load and like you say between injuries and kids burn out etc.

On paper now LSU has some awesome talent on the way but who know what it will look like in two or three years.

I kinda wish commits can commit as a junior at the earliest. I think it would be healthier for the sports. The kids can focus on development and coaches will actually be able to realistically evaluate and project talent.


Unfortunately LSU can't stop it until someone steps in, if not we lose out on top kids. It is what it is.

I just don't see how Beth can still with any consciousness hand her a scholly if she keeps it up

Really hope Kilponen and Wickersham can kill it for us we will need it
