Jus asking….why did LSU not recruit Tanner Hall?

Very rarely does LSU not recruit someone because of grades
His grades weren’t an issue

He was 5’10” and 150lbs throwing mid 80’s. He’s developed into a really good pitcher but LSU had higher recruits.

Go look at the guys they did recruit that year and then look at him coming out of high school.

Now some of those LSU got have not worked out but if you just looking at high school projecting their future it’s easy to see why Hall went to Southern Miss.

They didn’t recruit a SEC pitcher in their own backyard because Paul was told he should, but he’s now an unemployed idiot.

Player development is key. You don't build depth without it.

Are you calling Tanner Hall a SEC pitcher. You do know that he in fact does not pitch in the SEC right?

He’s really good and was a miss in recruiting. My point is just if you look at his high school profile it’s easy to see why LSU had better players they could get.

Eddy Lacy says “Hello”.

Tanner started out pretty unremarkable. Was not highly recruited and was not even considered as a possible weekend starter through the end of last year. He came into game 6 of the regional against Ole Miss last year and put together a performance similar to the one last night by Storm. They hit his sinker into the dirt all night long. He wasn’t even our Friday night guy to start the year - it was Ben Ethridge. We still didn’t even know for sure that Tanner would stick as a weekend starter. But he has commanded a nasty sinker and unfair changeup that has led to his success. It’s just one of those scenarios where a guy really honed in on his craft to maximize on his ability.

Same question were asked about Amik Robertson the CB for La Tech that went in the 2nd round of the NFL draft a few years ago.

There are only so many spots available. LSU can’t take every kid. Fans would lose their collect shite if we took diamonds in the rough. For every tanner hall there are 100 diamonds in the rough that don’t make it.
