I hate NIL and the x-fer portal but you've got to play the cards you're dealt, and Jay seems to be doing pretty good with that juggling act

No they didn't.

ETA: There hasn't been a single year that LSU has taken that many guys in the portal. We've taken 28 transfers since Jay got here (that have made it to campus). 6, 5, 6, 11 in the 4 years.

Complete list of portal additions:

1. Daniel Dickinson (INF, Utah Valley)


2. Anthony Eyanson (RHP, UC San Diego)


3. Jacob Mayers (RHP, Nicholls State)


4. Deven Sheerin (RHP, Mount St. Mary’s)


5. Chris Stanfield (OF, Auburn)


6. Eddie Yamin IV (INF/C, Dayton)


7. Dalton Beck (OF/LHP, Incarnate Word)


8. Luke Hayden (RHP, Indiana State)


9. Zac Cowan (RHP, Wofford)


10. Chandler Dorsey (RHP, South Florida)


11. Blaise Priester (C, Meridian CC)


12. RHP from Dallas Baptist (name not specified)


13. RHP from University of Texas (name not specified)


14. LHP from Pearl River CC (name not specified)



These fourteen are confirmed by citations; the Wikipedia list implies at least another two pitchers (from Dallas Baptist and Texas) to reach “16” total, matching LSU’s portal haul that offseason.

Oh, part of the issue is that you don't know your arse from a hole in the ground.

More specifically, you don't know the difference between a JUCO recruit and a portal recruit.

ETA: You're citing wikipedia. Jesus

Don't care. We are playing by the rules that have been given to us. If you are not, too bad.

While there is a ton of truth to that tweet, it’s a really bad time to tweet it out because Schnall blew it and his guys didn’t play their best when it was required.

Edit: not only blew it in the game by getting chucked but the whole moment in the spotlight leading up to the finals was misplayed

Didn’t they have a ton of transfers on their roster?

Their transfers are just different than ours. They can get the highly recruited guys who didn’t pan out at places like LSU. They can also get smaller school guys that are looking to move up in competition. Their baseball budget is 4 million and LSU’s baseball budget is 10 million. I am sure Murray State looks at Coastal Carolina the same way Coastal looks at LSU, lol. The Murray Coach probably thinks I wish I had that Coastal’s budget.

Even if wiki got it wrong, I believe I heard Jay say 12 in his after-game press conference yesterday. Is that better?

Like 12 now makes it a few dudes.

And that's fine. I don't have a problem with it.

I'm just saying don't say a few dudes when it was more than just a few dudes.

You don’t include JUCO or Community College players as transfer portal players. Those guys have to find a place to play and move on. It’s a natural progression like high school to college. It’s not a transfer.

LSU had 12 returning players from last year. 12….. what do you suppose that they do? LSU lost an SEC record 13 players to the 2023 draft and another SEC record 8 pitchers from last year’s draft. That’s a hell of a lot of talent to replace in 2 years. It’s exactly why Jay said he was extra proud of this mish mash of players coming together as a family and buying in so quickly.

You also don't include guys like Luke Hayden who played this year in the minor leagues and never stepped foot on LSU's campus.

That’s an uneducated shot against LSU. Salt.


That twitter account takes shots at us a lot. They're some jilted travel ball program. They think they're more important than they really are.


Ya, I see them around... quite the hypocrite with that "buy" comment considering his org... plus he posts Coastal shite all the time.

No you're fricking wrong.

However you want to count them according to your naming convention it's still more than a few.

5 is more than a few.
