LSUE headed to world series again...

LSU Eunice is going to the world series for the 4th time in 6 years. Any idea why PM doesn't try to recruit some guys from there. They seem to be loaded with talent every year.

Loses to schools like San Jacinto Junior College, Wallace, and Panola??? The lack of competition, maybe

They split with Southern...I'm just saying they have 2 or 3 guys every year that are probably LSU worthy IMO
Anyone care to agree or disagree?

In any league, you need to have talent to win. PM does a good job in recruiting guys at LSU and everyone can't get a scholarship, but I agree, its an impressive season for LSUE.

me, NAIA isn't D-1 by any stretch. We recruit the best of the best. I doubt any of the guys could be more than practice squad.

Yeah they probably have a couple of guys every year who could compete at LSU. But they are not taking a JUCO unless they have an area where they need immediate help and LSUE would need to have that guy that year. Don't feel bad their best guys get drafted or go to other good baseball schools.

Thats going a bit too far. Im not saying the guys could be starters, but I'm willing to bet they have a few pitchers that are better than some LSU has. They also probably have a couple position players that could contend for a starting spot, especially last years team.

LSUE isn't D1. I played at Grayson County College in Texas, and I'd be willing to bet we would have/still would stomp LSUE. They aren't on the same level as Navarro, Meridian, Dixie State, Seminole, Indian Hills, Pensecola, etc.

They played some decent competition, but when you start playing schools like New Mexico, Weatherford, Yuma, Miami-Dade, and so on, it is a whole new ballgame. I doubt they would have the depth to stack up against teams from coast to coast all season.

No, the standards are a bit lower. I played baseball there for one year, and decided to transfer to LSU to worry about school. They didn't have enough classes for me to last another year there. The classes are much smaller, as you can imagine. My math class had 11 people in it
ETA: I think it is part of the LSU system; all of the classes transfer directly unlike BRCC FWIW

Bad statemengood Juco baseball is actually really good. A lot of top prospects go for a year so they dont have to wait 3 years to get drafted, also a lot of good players that struggle academically. The talent in good jucos is as good as it is in D1.
When it comes to Juco players, a D1 recruits them because the have an immediate opening at a position that they have to have filled. They only get these guys for 2 years so it's like a band-aide.( think when Larson came after two years at Blinn to replace Jason Williams.)
PM is stocking his team with freshman, so they dont have holes that need to be filled with juco guys. I've noticed that PM really doesnt hit the jucos at all. (probably a habbit from the ND days).
A bunch of LSU-E guys could probably get a lot of PT at LSU but the immediate need isnt there.

If you played a year there then shouldn't you have first hand knowledge whether those kids could play at the elite D1 level? Especially pitchers, how hard they throw, quality of breaking pitches and ability to locate them?
Posted on 5/19/09 at 4:07 pm to SM6
PS there is literally no difference between D1 and D2 in juco. it's not like NCAA. The talent is identical.
Now D3 juco is non scholarship juco and this is pretty bad baseball quite honestly, but hey its college ball right?

Well that is what I'm trying to say. Some of the guys I played with ended up playing D1 ball, and put up great numbers. Several of them ended up getting drafted.
For the record, I was not on the same level as most of my teammates; I was a walk on.
ETA: Smoke offered one of our players a starting spot if he would transfer for the spring, but he declined the offer and ended up with a ring
