Should LSU consider building a statue for Manieri?

Considering we are in the golden age of college baseball (as a sport overall) the level of sustained success he has had at LSU is unbelievable.

I know, I know, Bertman is the GOAT. But his success came when there were like 8 good teams in the country every year (still the GOAT, just trying to be fair).

Anyway, do y'all support a statue? If so, what would it look like and where would it go?

If not, what more does Manieri have to win to earn one?

Legit question. Manieri has been here a decade and has won a lot of games against much stiffer completion (thanks, ironically to Bertman carrying the sport).

The dude is under appreciated. He's in statue territory.

more like Miles territory

to be statue worthy, he'd need to run off like 10 Omaha trips in a row with three championships or more

A coaching job at Alabama where they love their statues of current coaches.

Manieri has

1. Vitually the same winning % as Bertman
2. Same pace of CWS, NCAA tournaments, SEC championships as Bertman (half the results in half the time)
3. Played during a time of MUCH more parity.

What am I missing. He's in statue territory.

Only if it can be proven that none of his forebears owned slaves or fought for the Confederacy.

We have a 60' tall pedestal in New Orleans that just became available yesterday. We could put it there and refer to it as Paul Circle

Only if it's very large, includes lasers at night, and replaces that boring war memorial on the parade grounds.

people were ready to trade him for a utility infielder and a player to be named later, just a month ago.

no. LSU should not. Don't worry, they aren't considering it.

win two natty in the next 3 years. then, a bust in the hall of the AD's office building.

He still needs to win another title or two before I would even consider it.

He has never owned slaves so I say yes.
