You do realize that they carry more than 34 man roster thanks to the grandfather clause, right?

Yes. My understanding is that was capped at 2 as designated student athletes. We are currently carrying 38 on roster but some of those may be injuries. Still it’s less than the 42 ish we’ve carried in the past.

I think these are just early struggles that eventually we’ll work through but I’m not as sure as I have been in the past for 2 reasons.

First the 34 man roster. Obviously everyone has the same limit but if you miss on a few of your evaluations it’s much more costly now. Especially on the mound.

Second, leaning into the transfer portal versus recruiting the high end 4 year guys. I think this part gets better as they get more comfortable but honestly I don’t think these transfers understand the expectations of LSU baseball. The culture is hard to build with 2 year guys. We’ve always had out of state guys but most of them were 4 year guys. I think with last years freshman class Jay is trying to shift back to the 4 year guys a little more but those guys aren’t ready yet. I’m a little worried we missed on some of these transfers. I still think the portal is important but the balance of 4 yr guys to portal guys is the tough question. Clearly finding Skenes in the portal was huge so evaluating portal guys will always be needed. The guys playing the best ball have been here a few years though.

It’s just 2 cameras on each dugout. Not even behind the plate. Supposedly it calls foul and fair also. I think each camera is set up down each foul line. I heard mixed reviews on it also. Doesn’t call the low curveballs very well.

I didn’t see it in person this weekend but talked to some 2D reps about it.

Trackman can do the same thing but obviously very expensive.

Rose Born killed in her donut shop in Lake Charles was also a brutal crime that shook the community. This one and KK’s corner I think shook the community more than any other in my memory because of the unknowns surrounding them. Most murders have a clear connection of victim to criminal. These 2 did not.

No offense. Terrible QB play. Commercials haven’t been funny at all. TPUSA halftime show what pretty solid. But when does the football game start?

Hello every kids family that plays a college sport. Any level of D1 athletics or even high level JUCO and D2 had a family that spent a ton of $ on this. I can’t fault any of them for pursuing THEIR dreams. The life lessons they learned along the way will benefit them and make them stronger people as they become adults.

Baseball
Gymnastics
Dance
Volleyball

Been a lot of fun.

How many years are you?

I never have nor am I aware of any that I had an opportunity to attend.

My city must suck. We just live our normal lives with our normal kids and churches. Somehow people of all colors, ages, genders and ethnicities just get along.
