re: Mama Milam says time for LSU to step up the NIL

You don’t understand how the MLB draft works.

Currently, what he says doesn’t make sense. If 5 for 5 happens, then he would have one more year of leverage. That said, I don’t think Milam would do any damage besides injury, but I don’t think he’s going to push his stock a lot higher. Teams know what kind of player he is defensively. He could be more consistent offensively, but I don’t improving there would move him up a ton.

Gunna piss off a lot of the old donors around the program Don’t blame them either after their ROI this season..

No they won’t. This is idiotic. Every donor that knows baseball, especially dx-players, know what happened with the pitching staff, and injuries on top of roster limits. Then the poaching of outfielders we didn’t think we would need. Then the hard hit from the draft - look at the numbers.
Nobody saw Stanfield miss most of the season or Brown missing a month. That’s 2 clear leaders with big game experience. You can’t replace experience.
Jay constantly preached about the older players being critical on a staff in transition.

so their money spent wasn’t even worth making a regional? I mean come on dude.. you guys can compensate anyway you want, but not making the field of 64 is terrible with all the money and resources spent at LSU.

Hey winners win. They aren’t breaking any rules. Just doing it better then anyone in the game right now!

this is about getting Jay the money he needs to recruit.

How much more does he need?

How much weaker at the time did you think D1 thought LSU was at #2?

If you listened to the Thursday weekly convo between Mike Scarborough and Kendall Rogers on Tigerbait it was easy to determine that Kendall was not very enthusiastic about LSU 2026 after about 4 weeks into the season and he wasn't being a jackleg or a-hole about it either.

They missed by 4 games.
The roster was there to easily make the field but not win it all. Thats what expectations likely were. Middle of the pack based on THE LACK OF SPEND AS IT TURNS OUT THEN the aforementioned injuries to the top leaders and the wipe out of the pitching staff.
You idiots laughed at TAMU last season but the same shite happened to them.

But he still ranked them #2 preseason. Why do you think that was?

It is a bad take that CJJ did not have the money he wanted for this years team - he had the money and he got what he wanted. The players just did not pan out. BAD evaluations and player assessments. Hence, his comments on focusing on more complete players. You can't recruit one dimensional non athletic (fat) players and think its all peaches and rainbows. You recruit athletic baseball players that can play anywhere with anyone in any position...period.

Let's not make excuses for this staff, they did in fact piss down their leg last years recruiting!
