[quote]king, Alleva, Williams. Googled any of them yet? I'll wait.[/quote] First of all, thanks for waiting, I appreciate that. I googled them. King and Alleva are not on the board of supervisors, only Williams is. I can’t comment on what Williams was thinking, I have only met him once ...

I realize my post will not be a popular narrative on here and will bring me lots of downvotes, but here goes. The guys I know on the board love LSU and bleed purple and gold. I understand their view to be that most programs who buck the ncaa get hammered hard with penalities. Right or wrong, th...

[quote]He threw 42-45 pitches well. Then, he started walking guys. Looks like 45-55 pitches is tops for EW right now[/quote] Not to inject facts into the discussion, but Walker did not walk one runner on balls. His strong suit has been his control and his control was very good today. Out of 51 ...

[quote]He carbon copied the LSU Board of Supervisors, LSU general counsel Tom Skinner and Barton.[/quote] Obviously fake news. Carbon copies haven't been used in about 50 years. Were they done on onion paper with white outs?...

I was surprised when I read Easton McMurray would miss the season with an injury, not because of that though. I was surprised to learn that from a staff of 20 pitchers, he was the only left handed pitcher. I wonder how many major college baseball teams have no left handed pitchers. My guess is o...

In the early signing period LSU had almost every single then committed verbal sign. The two who did not sign, eventually did. Sometimes it feels like more kids decommit than actually do. I would guess we end up with about 75% of the kids who originally commit and much, much, much less from unc...

Last year a big weakness for LSU was a lack of home run hitting, only 48 homers in 66 games. When the tigers would fall behind, some leads seemed almost insurmountable because LSU had to cobble some hits together and rarely could win games with a big home run. It’s early, but this team looks to ...

Well you know it’s just one game, but it’s kind of crazy Duplantis matched his last season hr total in one game and Cabrera had only 8 last year. I am sure they will have ups and downs, but it sure looks like we will get more pop out of the bats from this group and that should translate into m...

OF 6-14 .428 avg with 4 home runs and 11 rbi. Just one game but not a bad start. ...

Yes Michell was good. My bad,I was thinking of Foster who was a good player, not a great outfielder. All that said, how about if we agree this year’s outfield could be among the best LSU has ever had? I...

[quote]SU has had fast, great defensive outfielders Mainieri's entire time at LSU and most if not all of them could hit. [/quote] I am only writing what Mainieri said after the Stony Brook series. In that series we had Mason Katz in center, Ralph Rhymes in left and Alex Edwards in right. ...

The 2009 outfield was a great outfield too. Jared Mitchell I don’t think was as good an outfielder as any of the three we have now. And this is not an outfield we have that is “potientally” good. Alll three are proven players. It’s not absurd nor “retarded” to write how this could be one of LS...

Has LSU ever had a better starting outfield than Duplantis, Watson and Cabrera? I know LSU has had some great outfielders and great outfields, but this year we have as seasoned and talented outfield as I can ever remember. I think Mainieri changed the type of outfielder he wanted after the...

[quote] He’s in the mold of Bama’s current receivers, which is something we’ve been lacking. Track level speed.[/quote] DJ Chark was as fast or faster than any Bama receiver we played. I think he is faster than Boutte too, DJ ran an 11.19 100 meters. I am not sure what Boutte runs now, it used ...

I hope its not a flamboyant juco, he'll get in big trouble. ...

Tell the truth. Who would you take after watching their film and watching how they handle themselves in interviews? Who has the higher motor? Ika > Sospher just saying ...

Not how it works on the rant. Top five class with fat kid = home run Top five class sans fat kid = strike out Its all about the fat kid Ika > Sopsher in my book though ...

He said he was worried he would get into trouble in Baton Rouge. LOL. Like Baton Rouge is Miami beach or something. We dodged a bullet. If he was worried about getting into trouble in BR, There is about a 100% chance Moore gets into trouble at some point at Auburn. ...

I think there is cause for concern but overall the jury is still out. You said no comment on Shelvin, but he could be a player yet. He did come on at the end of the season. You left out Fehoko. And I think the jury is out on 2018. Most all of the players listed were highly recruited. Che...

Getting Lee, Sospher and Moore would be a dream finish and testament to your rumored insiderness. I have no such info, but based upon reading a lot of sources and some old tea leaves I like to use, I do see us getting Lee and Sospher, which will make the rowdy masses on here happy. You kind of...
