That's so true. Live in the Nashville area. Good people but out of touch with reality when it comes to UT teams.

Mahtook has a very close relationship with the entire baseball staff at LSU. He’s plugged in.

Do you know if he has even met Yeskie in person yet? He friends with players and the coaching staff, I get that. He’s not as plugged in as someone like Kendall Rogers when it comes to stuff like this, that’s just the truth.

It’s clear you aren’t plugged in if you think Mahtook isn’t a better source for lsu.

Seeing that Yewskie has been on Mahtook’s show, I’d say yes, they have met.

Kendall Rogers has more sources and is plugged in on the national level than Mikie Mahtook, but Mikie is 100% more in the know on what’s happening at LSU. Kendall doesn’t have Jay Johnson on his podcast once a week like Mahtook does. Kendall doesn’t talk with the LSU coaches and players on a weekly basis like Mahtook does. Kendall doesn’t live in Baton Rouge and see the players and coaches on a routine basis like Mikie Mahtook.

Why are you so upset by me saying that Kendall Rogers is more plugged in to college baseball than Mahtook?

College baseball obviously. LSU baseball no. Is this really that difficult for you to comprehend or do you need us to draw pictures?

In person?

Maybe when it comes to the starting lineup that night, but not when it comes to top national transfers.

That’s great. He asks typical questions and Jay gives typical answers.

Just because Mahtook can text the coaches “hey how’s everything going?” Doesn’t mean that they are giving him inside information.

Who cares? Adam Shefter breaks more NFL news than any local media in the NFL.

Has Mahtook talked to any other person that covers other schools about Montgomery and how they feel about landing him? Legitimate question, why wasn’t Mahtook the one to break the Holman news?

Who knows more about LSU baseball’s roster, Kendall Rogers or Jay Johnson’s wife?

I’m going with the people closest to Jay Johnson over Kendall Rogers who lives in Texas. Just because Kendall Rogers has great contacts all around college baseball, doesn’t mean he knows more about this one individual program than the people involved with the program. And yes, Mikie Mahtook is hands on involved with the LSU baseball program. You think Jay Johnson doesn’t use former MLB players like Mahtook and Jared Mitchell to the benefit of the program?

Mahtook is probably as close to the program as any former player outside of the guys that left this year.

The funny part about this question is that the answer is likely Kendall.

I hate to break it to you but Montgomery is a top transfer nationally. This isn’t just and LSU story.

Him telling Mahtook “Hey Montgomery has committed, I want you to go tweet about it” doesn’t benefit the program

If you actually think this, there is no hope for you ever grasping what people are saying to you.

Funny, these guys announce a transfer to LSU, a week later they make an appearance on the Mik’d Up podcast, and you think there was no interaction with these players and Mahtook and Mitchell until after Kendall alerted the college baseball world where a kid is going to school?

Come on Project, you actually think that Mahtook has better info than Kendall about where top transfers are going? And you know what I’m saying. If Jay’s wife directly asks him of course he’s going to tell her. Surely y’all really aren’t trying to relate Jay’s wife to Mahtook and Kendall right?
