re: Can I start getting excited about Cameron Johnson yet? - Metaloctopus on 7/10/23 at 7:11 pm Mac Marshall made it hard for me to ever feel comfortable about a player making it to campus. I still get excited, though.

re: LSU Baseball 2023 (and beyond) Recruiting Thread - Old Thread - Please unpin - Metaloctopus on 7/10/23 at 3:06 pm [quote]No, that’s called an option, not leverage. You got one thing right.
At this point in the draft he does not have the leverage to use that to his favor to get more money. He simply has that option to fall back on. You are totally misusing the application. [/quote]

I guess they aren't used to having so many, that they don't realize how few they are ever going to see. Especially when they don't have much to sell their program on, other than "Well, we stay relevant".... Posted on LSU Recruiting Jump to Post - View Topic - Replies (0) |
