They have finished #1 in recruiting 4 out of the last 5 years according to Perfect Game. Vandy’s Tim Corbin makes $2.3 million a year and Mainieri only makes $1.2 million a year. If LSU wants to be the best program in college baseball, they are going to have to hire the best coaches. The ones that actually go out and recruit and teach fundamentals. Rumor has it that Mainieri never leaves Baton Rouge and won’t go farther than a day’s drive from and back to B.R. to recruit players.

Out-recruited or out-coached?

The statement about Manieri not going outside of Louisiana to recruit is a total crock of crap and false. Are you really that stupid?

Yet Corbin only has one title. If you are looking for a coach who has underachieved with the most talent, it would be Tim Corbin. (I would expect them to win this season though).

Just my opinion. I don't think Corbin is the best coach. He has major advantages in recruiting and has not achieved much with those classes.

This has been discussed here plenty. If you don't know, then you just don't pay attention much. Which is pretty evident from pretty much the entire original post.

Well considering more than half of this years roster are not from Louisiana ... I'd say this is false.

It has been discussed numerous times on this board. Private schools can play with private scholarships so a lot more money can be thrown around. Also a 50 percent scholarship at Vandy is worth a hell of a lot more than a 50 percent scholarship at LSU.

Cain is the recruiting coordinator. Cain does all the leg work Scouts gets guys interested and talk to them day to day. CPM deals with them when they come in for visits and closes. That’s not much different than what a lot of head coaches across the country do. LSU did just have the number one recruiting class last year and a pretty good one this year so I’m not sure that this strategy isn’t working.

You got sauces bruh?

Tell the truth, you hate Maineri types will believe anything negative about him no matter how ridiculous won't you?

Doesn't it ever enter your little minds to actually question anything?

Why question anything when you can just totally make something negative up and a large number of other idiots will automatically believe you?

The rant mindset is as follows:

If it comes from outside the program it is to be taken like the gospel.

If it comes from inside the program it is to be taken with doubt.

Vandy can literally give 35 full scholarships. Very very few programs can do that. Legally.

True, but the admissions standards at Vanderbilt are substantially more rigorous than at LSU. Surely a lot of recruits wouldn't qualify for admission, even if Vanderbilt laxes their standards to some degree.

That's funny. You think the regular requirements apply to athletes.
