Are we expecting 100% success rate in the portal?


We shouldn’t. The last two years are perfect evidence of that.

Last year we pretty much hit on every pickup. All of the big ones (Eyanson, Dickinson, Stanny, Hernandez, Cowen) ended up being major contributors on a title team.

This year, only Moore really hit (but not nearly at the level Eyanson did). Lach has shown some flashes, but has been inconsistent. Dardar, Caraway, and Garcia are playable, but have been just ok to below average. Yorke and Simpson ended up being total busts. This is about the worst you can expect.

So best you can image and worst in back to back years. Based on Jay’s very good past record with the portal before 25, we should see this even out with some impactful players, a few solid rotation guys and one or two who don’t work out.

He’s already said his approach will change toward versatility and proven defense rather than power, so hopefully that gets us to a more even and consistent portal output in the future.

Didn’t they go beat UF worse than us 2 weeks later Some of those teams we lost to early suck. BC legitimately did not.

Such a stupid statement. Quit on the team again this year like you did last year, just make it permanent this time.

quote:

And I will add that in a hypothetical 10 year stretch, LSU baseball should at least host a regional 8 out of 10 years.



Tell me how often that has happened since Skip has left and the SEC has become a conference with 12 or more formidable teams every year. Once you get 7 years out from Skip, you have that 1 time.

quote:

And be a national seed at least 5-6 times in that 10 yr period.




That is true right now (6 of 10) and will still be true after this season.

It has, it can, and it will happen.

Yes.

The problem with them is that they're actually a decent team but their conference is so bad that you run the risk of losing to them and they're going to drag down your RPI whether you win or not.

Thought this was going to be about the men’s basketball team with the recent news of the ncaa tourney expansion.

If we’re being honest, it’s pretty damn hard to miss the postseason completely. You have to be terrible like this year and Jay shouldn't have another year like this. Every level of this team is trash

That has been true for LSU.

This is the result of losing so many players, 3 of 4 infielders, and your Friday and Saturday starters, a couple of top bullpen guys, plus at least 1 position player you were expecting to at least DH this year (Larson), and probably a couple of other position players that would have been good pieces, maybe starters, this year.

I think Jay learned something from this and won't have the same portal issues again, but navigating baseball from year to year is constantly changing now so I won't say never about much.
