Me either. I read it as her just bumping it up to make sure it gets spread and share the awareness. I def think people are reading in to this wrong.

I didn’t, either. Probably wants the best circumstances for another run in case her son doesn’t enter the draft.

Between Bregman, Gausman, Nola and LeMahieu they have earned 611 million. That’s just 4 former players.

Nola donated to the pitching lab
Another former players, can't remember who, donated to the weight room improvements
Someone else donated to locker room improvements

Pretty sure Ranaudo and Gausman both gave $ to the program as well

We missed on players, not because of money, but because of evaluation.
Wrong. We had less money, so we couldn't get as many good players.

It has zero to do with NIL dollars or the willingness for our donors to spend them.
Wrong.

Just looking at the meaningless list, it fails to include the biggest spender in the portal in Georgia Tech.

I didn't take this post as her asking for money for her son in any way, more just trying to raise money for the program.

That being said, bad time to be asking for big money after the results of last season.

he could raise his stock to the top three rounds which doubles or triples his guaranteed money while getting paid in college.
That's not how the draft works.

His mom is basically saying baseball needs more money without directly mentioning her son…
His mom is saying "I loved watching my son play baseball at LSU. If they want to continue being competitive, they are going to have spend money to do so. I want them to succeed because we built a special bond here while my son played. Here is what I think will help."

I would say I have no idea how so many people are missing the point of this, but I've been on here long enough.

I wish we knew how much each players was making. It would be funny to see her go one by one and name all of the players that she thinks deserves more money than they got paid this year.

This has never made any sense despite how many times people have posted it this year.

The lack of funds is a direct reason why the team was worse this year than in years past. Watching a team lose, because of a lack of funds, is quite literally the best possible time to ask for more funds - especially after the guy that runs the program has shown what he's capable of when not playing from behind.

Why do you always intentionally misconstrue things?

She is so clearly not saying that Zach Yorke or Trent Carraway needed more money. Like I genuinely cannot imagine how someone would read what she posted and think that.

Explain to us why it's a bad look. Please.

Her son is actively being offered a shite ton of money to come back to LSU. She is telling the people that have already paid her son that they need to be giving more money. I’m not saying that LSU baseball couldn’t use more money, I’m just telling you why it’s a bad look.
