I love the fact that skip is still around the team, but part of me wonders if some of these young guys completely understand the impact he’s had on LSU?

A lot of them are from out of state, or transfers, so I’ve always wondered just how familiar they are with Skip’s contribution. I’d imagine that Jay or someone in the program educates them

I think Paul and Jay both have gone way out of their way to make sure the players understand just how important he is to the program and to college baseball as a whole.
