Jay needs to raid his old stomping grounds

If we're going to swing big for pitchers in the portal, let's take the two Louisiana guys in Southern Miss' weekend rotation.

Let's also take Brody Trosclair from Northwestern State and Tyler Weimer from Arkansas State.

It's less about needing an overhaul and more about needing innings. Pitching is volatile and injuries happen frequently. I think one of the guys I mentioned as a potential portal target is currently injured.

We're going to lose guys to graduation and the draft that we currently rely on. There may be other attrition, but there isn't anyone that should absolutely be pushed out when you consider the development a guy like Fontenot made so late in his career.

Not really worried about Schmidt for next year but IMO I like Evans better out of the pen or as a closer. Definitely need two more starters out of the portal

While you make valid points, when you get swept in a series where you scored at least eight runs in each game, you've got a big problem.

Agree to a degree. However, to me Jay's biggest problem is that parity in college baseball has greatly increased in the previous three years. LSU no longer has the 'lock' on talent they once had. Solid players want to play TODAY! Good players don't want to wait two years and develop further until it is their turn to make the starting lineup.
