It would be ideal if the core of every LSU baseball team included the best players in the country. No one denies that.

We just aren’t there this year. And we won’t be every year. Even the best don’t evaluate every player correctly.

As an evaluator, you have to give yourself as many chances as possible to evaluate players.

An exaggerated valuation of the transfer portal. Especially in football. The core of every LSU football team should be high school players recruited from Louisiana and Texas. Select Florida, Georgia, and MS recruits as well.

Fields isn’t a great passer from the pocket. At this stage of his career, I don’t see Nuss being a good pocket passer at the pro level either. Fields can be a dynamic runner. Nuss doesn’t have that. Fields is the only backup QB on the roster who can maybe do something better than Mahomes. Fields is currently a better football player.

If Nuss ends up having a career like Chad Henne, he will have truly maximized his talents. People forget that Chad Henne was a 5 star, top 10 recruit out of a Pennsylvania high school. 4 year starter, started from the moment he got on campus. Michigan record holder in all significant passing stats. 15 year NFL career. Started for around 3 full seasons. 2x Super Bowl champ and he had a significant on-field contribution to one of them. Known for his toughness. Henne could ball.

Definitely didn’t have that on my bingo card

I think PJ Woodland is going to have a big year.

It has nothing to do with black or white. Quay Walker is 6’4” 240 and ran a 4.52. Simmons is 6’4” 240 and ran a 4.39. Those are combine measurements. Weeks is listed at 6’2” 225 on LSU’s website. And there’s no way he’s running in the 4.4s. Whit is not an elite athlete like those dudes.

Weeks will need a great season to be picked on day 2. He needs to prove that he can be a consistent pass rusher because he isn’t going to cover anyone elite in space.

Came here specifically to throw Dabo’s hat in the ring

The Rashan Gary comp is a good one. Trey Smith and Lamar aren’t the same player. Smith is more powerful, but Lamar is much, much quicker. Lamar likely ends up on defense I would guess.
