Along with the incoming freshman class too right?
We've seen some Jay Johnson #1 high school classes before.
What we need to see is one of those classes panning out.
I do like this class so let's see if Jay can develop them

Literally zero coaches land every single player they want
Of course, but I'm talking about the real elite guys
The baseball portal has been like the NBA draft so far. The difference between the top couple players versus the 6th best player has been pretty substantial

Paul's teams were more fundamentally sound without question. Things just got stale. He would've been asked to step down in 2020 had that season gone on imo

Kilen's impact so far at Tenn.
He has had an encouraging start, however, if he raked he wouldn't have hit .270 / .288 /. 470 in ACC play last year. I'm just saying there are question marks.

Agree, we wanted Ahuna and Waldrep
But we also signed multiple elite players that everyone wanted
We will never get them all. The shift I have seen is that the very top players are now going elsewhere.
We did well late in the process to get kids like Dickinson and Eyanson, which makes sense because we had money to spend and other bidders had less positions open.
Had we reeled in Kilen, I doubt we get Dickinson and he defaults to some place like Tennessee. But we were the default.

You could look at this any number of different ways.
How is Tony big-dicking Jay at a school that has no tradition etc? He can't raise more than a guy who's at a school with major disadvantages in relation to LSU in the sport of baseball?
If the money is not far off, how is Jay unable to sell warmer weather, better tradition, superior ballpark and resources, fan following, etc? Is Tony that much better of a recruiter that kids want to play for him?
Again, when Jay had everything in his favor he bought the Tommys and Skenes. The last two cycles, we've seen the playing field level on NIL and he's lost the most coveted kids in the Portal.
So is it just about the money or is it not just about the money? You keep changing your answer.

Agree, Amick wasn't hitting .413 in the SEC
But point is that Kilen was the guy everyone wanted out of the portal. It's disingenuous to say or think that Jay didn't make a strong play for him

ontgomery's impact on A&M pre-injury last year. Kilen's impact so far at Tenn. Etc. The very top guys who are the most widely coveted
How about you figure out what you want to argue. You keep contradicting yourself. How can Kilen's impact be measured at Tenn when they have yet to play anybody worth a frick but Dickinson and Milam we have to wait and see how they do in SEC play and Milam already has SEC success and Kilen does not? How much sense does that make? Those are your words not mine
Posted on 3/4/25 at 10:22 am to burreauxxx
it’s also disingenuous to act like Dickinson was a leftover with no options.
same with Eyanson
shite people don’t even realize how good a guy like Sheerin was last year. He had one of the highest K/9 in the country

Money always talks
My point is that at LSU you have every advantage along with money
Tony has no advantages except he's a winner, plays a style of ball that kids like, and now has boosters on board at a level that he can take kids away from someone like Jay who has everything in his favor.
You have to respect it, the baw is self made. Jay arrived on 3rd Base

The guy whose first head coaching job was in the SEC is self made, but the guy who came up from D2 and mid majors is born on third base.
You're either very committed to the trolling or you're really as stupid as you seem.

Dickinson has 21 RBI
Kilen has 17
Why is Kilen already a difference maker but Dickinson is a wait and see guy?

Jay landed the #1 portal class by just about any publication. Your point is null and void because you want to pick and choose the players you want he didnt land.
