re: The 2025 Louisiana high school baseball thread… playoffs begin April 16th

Theres the Live Oak transfer, the brothers from Sulphur, and the transfer from Orange, Texas. Theres another transfer from Baton rouge?

No I think that might be it. I think only kid from LO will play

It’s just funny to me that shite like that happens all the time and you think there was NOTHING shady going on behind the scenes. Like, this was just a completely organic, random move for a family because of a work situation. Give me a break


If schools want to recruit that’s fine, but please for the love of god separate the schools that play by different rules than everyone else. There’s no reason that a run of the mill 5A school should have to compete with super schools like Barbe for anything, especially when everyone knows how much they bend the rules to get players on their teams. I don’t give a shite how good they are at paperwork (you know damn well there’s a system for this type of shite to avoid being ‘caught’)

So communism …cool Or schools could compete and stop offering shite product and acting like they own every kid that grew up there

This is an unhinged response to the opinion I put forth.

Thinking that high school baseball is a “product” and talking about ownership of kids (wtf?)….Not everything is a commercial question.

Believing that communities are important, and that it’s good for more kids to get more opportunities doesn’t make me a communist.

And while we are on the subject, isn’t Barbe a public school? As someone who pays taxes but doesn’t send my kids to government schools, I don’t really want to be lectured on communism by someone who does.

I am in the same boat as you, my kids are in private


I just think it’s stupid

1 kid transfers 2+ hours away cause dad got transferred then 3 freshman that will prolly never even pant at barbe show up and people want to get pissy

And I come at it more from the private school standpoint of everyone should compete. Don’t like kids loving provide better school, better coaching, better learning environments, better facilities and kids won’t leave

Look what Live Oak is doing, dont think anyone random is there right now lol

Sam Houston is the most impressive team I've seen so far this year. I've been behind the plate for two of their games(1 win and 1 loss).

For me it was Benton. Had them for two games, one on the dish and another in the field. They are solid, well coached, and play fundamental, team-first baseball. Pitchers worked fast and stayed in the zone. Hitters were up there looking to hit.

I'm not surprised by that. I haven't seen them this year, but I had them for a playoff series last year and I know they returned a lot from that team.

Live Oak was set to play a home and home with PBHS this week, but was told it was reduced to one game at PBHS on Friday by LO due to heavy schedule load and injuries

I will definitely try to make that one. Likely a lot of future ULL arms facing off.
