PM did a very poor job with recruiting his last 5 years here. Take a look at this roster today and tell me he did a good job. PM was lazy and missed on several recruits.

They didn’t recruit a SEC pitcher in their own backyard because Paul was told he should, but he’s now an unemployed idiot.
And you sir are an idiot whether or not you are employed.
Just remember on the worst day of his life Paul knows more about baseball then you ever will.
I challenge all of you clowns that like to crap on ex-L S U coaches to actually achieve something first before you run them down.
Tearing someone down does NOT lift you up.

It’s more about player development than missing a recruit. Between USM and LSU, LSU wins the recruiting battle almost every time. USM has been better than us at player development, especially pitching. Their coaching staff has done more with less to be equal to LSU. I expect Johnson will change that, but you have to tip your hat to Coach Berry and his staff. They do a terrific job at USM.

Are you of the opinion that LSU should actively seek to recruit “diamonds in the rough” over higher ranked prospects?
For every Tanner Hall there are hundreds of guys that turn out to be exactly what everyone thought they were.

No top 10 program is looking for a diamond in the rough. They go for top prospects because they have more talent and or more likely to be successful than the others.
The past 5 years this board complains every year that we don't have enough pitchers throwing 95+. Now they are wondering why we didn't recruit some random kid throwing in the mid 80's.

Guys,
USM fan here.
Chill the F out on this.
-He came in with an excellent 2-seamer that was high-80s to 90 and an okay change. As a sophomore and junior in HS (when players are recruited), he probably threw mid-80s. Hell, there's a story about how he nearly quit baseball early in high school. Diamond in the rough who probably developed his last year of HS.
-Our pitching coach may be one of the best in the country. Every single pitcher that we have improves their control and increases their velocity. Last year, Hall's two-seamer sometimes moved so much that he had issues commanding it. His change was not what it is now. He's gotten better command of his two-seamer and increased it a couple of ticks and his change has turned into a really devastating weapon.
He's a guy that did not jump off the page but there was "pitchability" with a unique weapon (2-seamer) and he got with one of the best pitching coaches in the country.

Can you let us know the next time that you know the 900+ ranked player will develop into a beast? Thanks in advance

I am perfectly fine with LSU not doing this BTW.
Recruiting is about playing the percentages. 4 and 5 star recruits pan out at a higher percentage than 2 and 3 star recruits.

Absolutely, but those are simply not the kind of guys LSU is looking to recruit out of HS.

Wow. Comprehension is at an all time low on here. I plainly said. LSU NEVER recruits the diamonds in the rough. They always go after the polished player. My gripe is all about developing the polished guy into an All American stud. I just want the new coaching staff not to hurt our pitchers and develop arms that will make LSU back into a national power. Our entire staff isn’t as good as the USM pitching staff. To me, that’s a coaching and development issue.

Why would you, though? You don't need to look for diamonds in the rough.
Our staff doesn't look for diamonds in the rough because they want to. I guarantee that they would prefer to recruit guys like Floyd, Money, etc.

The question should be...
"Why is LSU or JJ not recruiting, Christian Ostrander, USM pitching coach, that developed Tanner Hall into the pitcher he has become today?
In his 4 year tenure, he guided the USM pitching staff in leading the country in the category of strikeout-to-walk ratio.
USM ranks inside the top five nationally in five different pitching categories:
2nd – Strikeout-to-walk ratio (4.25)
2nd – WHIP (1.13)
3rd – Earned-run-average (3.02)
4th – Strikeouts per nine innings (11.3)
4th – Walks allowed per nine innings (2.65)
Thats the question someone needs to address.
Hire this mofo, yesterday!

Ostrander also had the national pitcher of the year in 2018 with Nick Sandlin.
He’s not going anywhere. He’s going to be head coach in a couple years. He’s basically coach in waiting now. He told Tulane no thanks for an interview for their head job.

Anyone but CPM….he sucked the life out of the box….he should have been fired after losing to Florida state in the super regional AT HOME….
Heard he did a horrible job of recruiting players and developing them….

I agree, but Floyd or Money , currently, would not sniff the field if they were on the USM roster. They both have a far higher ceiling, but have not developed into better pitchers and that’s a coaching issue. Like I’ve said, hopefully this new coaching staff will remedy that.

Probably for the same reason every other SEC, ACC, and Big XII team didn’t.

Floyd, right now, is one of the best pitchers in the country. Any poster that has anything bad to say about his recent performances is clueless. He's been excellent for 6 appearances in a row, after needing a reset.

Hall has success from mixing his pitches well and has a good changeup. Stays in the low 90's. I don't see why there is any reason we can't develop our recruits who already have the velocity there, but somehow we just don't.
Posted on 6/6/22 at 11:22 am to GA Tiger
LSU doesn't recruit guys who are RH and throw mid 80s. That's why he was not offered.

He was 5’10” and 150lbs throwing mid 80’s. He’s developed into a really good pitcher but LSU had higher recruits.
So why did he recruit Hilliard then?
