Good point. You might have Dugas in that mix as well.

That’s wrong. NIL is definitely having an effect. It’s obvious that paying people money to do something will result in a higher likelihood of them doing it.
On the whole, it will affect guys whose decision used to be based on money in vs money out. Now their decision is money in vs less money in.
NIL will have a smaller impact than the potential increase in scholarships that may be coming this summer.

What are your thoughts on Kling? Some sizable discrepancy in his rating.

So you think Robby snelling is going to pass up $1.3mil to come do $5k autograph signings 3x a year at Anthony renaudos baseball card shop?

I think it’ll help with some mid rounder instate talent honestly. Guys that grew up lsu fans and are on the fence going/staying. Some extra money could flip it in our favor.
It’s not gonna help with the Storys, Gallos, DeSheilds, Snellings, Crawfords etc.

The biggest NIL impact will probably be on Juniors that would normally only get about $100k in the draft or $20k as a UDFA.
Now they can return to school, make a little money, and their chances of making the majors aren’t materially different because they were probably org guys anyway. But now they finish their degree, and guarantee at least one more year of baseball in their lives.

NIL should actually benefit college baseball where the scholarships are few and the minor league pay is very low.

1) he’s going to get a lot more than 1.3 million
2) there are a lot more prospects in this class than potential top 15 pick Robbie Snelling.
3) Robbie Snelling would make a lot more than 15k a year if he made it to campus
As project said, before the choice was to get money to go to the MLB or pay to go to school. Now, you can still make some money at school, while potentially boosting your future stock and making yourself a lot more money in 3 years. It’s not going to make going to college a no brainer, but without question, it doesn’t hurt your chances.
People don’t really know what these college baseball players are making, so nobody really knows how much impact it is having. Crews apparently made enough in NIL that he thought he doesn’t need his scholarship. I can assure you he isn’t just making 5k 3x a year signing autographs.

Yea I could see that

One of the strongest commits in the class. Would take top 1-2 round money to forgo college and I don’t think a team will commit that to him.

Crews is a unicorn & cannot be used as an example for anyone

I’m not saying he can’t make more than that, as my comment was made with my tongue firmly in my cheek
But please, by all means, show your work on this.

The biggest problem lsu will face this year is getting the high school arms to campus due to the weak crop of college arms that a draft eligible.

Show my work? Where’s your work on the lack of earning potential an elite college baseball player can make at the largest program in the sport? As I said, nobody knows what these guys are making, your comment about 15k a year has just a little merit as someone saying they can make 300k a year. At this point he would be the biggest prospect we ever landed. He’s being projected to go top 15. If you don’t think a 3 year Friday night guy can make more than 15k between booster money and actual NIL then I don’t know what to tell you.

Lol there is ZERO money in college baseball. So just always keep that in your mind when you are discussing this.

Let’s pretend we don’t know what they are making.
Show me the endorsements and placement of these guy’s name, image and likeness.
If there is money being thrown around, surely you have multiple examples of endorsements from formidable entities.

Huh? Snelling?
Posted on 5/22/22 at 10:52 am to Lester Earl
Has anyone ever told you that you are too dumb to argue with? You keep asking me to show examples of what the players are making, yet I’ve said twice that nobody knows. Show me how you know that they aren’t making anything, since you are all knowing. I think everyone is curious since you are the only person on this board that has this knowledge.
Snelling is nearly unanimously being mocked in the first round. MLB.com just had him at pick #13. When have we ever gotten a guy who is being projected top 15 to come to college?

no brether, the second time I asked you to show me who is endorsing them if you do not know the money part.
What do think Tre mogran is being paid for a gordon mckernan billboard? Who or what is Gordon bidding against to pay him anything substantial? Who outside of Louisiana even knows who Tre Morgan is?
The appeal of college baseball is small. It is nothing against the kids and their prospects to be paid.
Something is obviously better than nothing, and can supplement a different lifestyle from what they were used to. But it is not competing with MLB signing bonus money if that is what a player's heart is set on.

That is great but i am not sure you are ready for the nuanced discussion about players who were firm to LSU, which in turn killed their draft stock coming out of high school.

Need the pitchers for sho, Crawford goner unless he wants to experience college life, don’t think NIL deal means squat to him, it’s just if he wants to play in front of 10000 fans or ride the bus for a minute
Posted on 5/22/22 at 11:28 am to adamb2151
I see up to 10 on that list that never make it to campus.
Turtle Thomas is impressed.

There are 3 major NIL deals set up for Snelling worth around 300 grand after taxes. Not including a new Ford 60k or less and an apartment. Having said that, I think he will go pro. But these kind of deals will have an affect on players that would ordinarily go pro. Guidry could potentially make more than Snelling. Minor League baseball is a hard tedious life, riding buses, shittey apartments, lots of taxes and no glamour or girls. There are some business owners in Louisiana who are more willing to put up the cash for baseball more so than football. NIL is huge for LSU baseball.
