They had 3 wins over P4 schools this weekend too
Looks like the coaches realized we needed a P and some hitters and tried to go out and find some :dunno:

He is doing the right thing for the player . Especially transfers who only have 1-2 years , No need to waste a year

Public school teachers have to be certified (or at least working toward it), earn more money in general, and are incentivized with pay raises to pursue postgraduate degrees and other certifications. That’s generally not the case in private schools. The teachers I worked with in public school were typically better than private school for the above reasons, but the quality of the kids and working conditions were a hell of a lot better in private schools. quote: Reality is the school is going to perform relative to the quality of the inputs (the children) and the educators at the macro-level just don't matter all that much. At the public school where I worked I taught Earth Science to about 100 kids spread out over four classes. I had one advanced class that was a joy to teach, two general education classes that were fair, and one supportive instruction class that was a nightmare. Anyone who will read this post could take the advanced class and achieve higher scores on quarterly testing than the best Earth Science teacher in the world with any of the other three classes. A mediocre teacher with great students will fare better in testing than a great teacher with mediocre students


So true. I taught 25 years in a public school and got my Master’s degree to increase pay /retirement. There were some really good teachers at my school but we were a school with socioeconomic factors that are very hard to overcome . I always said you could take our teachers and swap with other supposedly “ good “ schools and you would get the same results , maybe even better . Teachers at schools with low ratings get a bad rap but actually are better all around teachers ( most) bc of all the different strategies needed, constant professional development , consultants etc they have been exposed to in order to try to get results on state tests ( which are worthless )
ETA- public school teachers are generally better than private school career teachers but many public go to the private schools upon retirement in my area .

There are some on this board who are hoping for a loss eventually so they can shite on Murphy and the team :lol:

ETA- wasn’t referring to you
Well I was kicked off the LSU board for saying some were hypocritical when it comes to players leaving Louisiana but ok when LSU signs an out of state player … snowflakes on that board
Yea I knew that to be the case . I was just wondering if he was done forever or is it something other schools may clear him etc
Knew he was raw offensively but would have been nice to have Onyejiako for defense ( or 5 more fouls) . Wonder if he will get cleared at another school like Butler did at Baylor ?
Vaughn said he wanted a loss early :lol:
Was hoping Torres would be at 1B this year exclusively

Best event of the Winter Olympics for me to watch … good stuff
quote:

Head coach Rob Vaughn on freshman Myles Upchurch: "Myles just came in extremely polished, and I think they talked about stuff. And his stuff is good; it's going to be a mid-90s heater with a really good up-and-down breaking-ball feel on the slider. His best pitch might be his changeup. He can throw any of his pitches in any count; that's pretty advanced. More than anything, I think his poise this weekend shows me maybe the most like he has carved out hitters for two weeks." @CWsports
