A 12-18 SEC team with our our RPI has maybe a .00000000001% chance of being selected at large

We have to win the SECt, full stop

boozling. That we have multiple arms who've already thrown on the biggest college stage and have become train wrecks.

What the heck happened?

The downfalls of Williams and Rizy this year is just mind boggling to me. I have no idea how you take 2 such good looking arms last year and develop them into this garbage this season, truly remarkable there.

I cant believe in pre-season they were considering Williams a potential starter. He has recorded 1 out, ONE out in the last month in SEC play

1 out over a MONTH of SEC games

Couple that with al the frustrations of pretty much the rest of the staff not living up to expectations...I mean, rough

Going from 6’9 in college to 6’7 is gonna hurt him

6'8*

He was 6'7 3/4"

I think it's a little early to call it obviously for Ruckert or Patrick since they are freshmen and both highly recruited (Top 100/150 overall type players). Ruckert just turned 19 a few months ago and Patrick is still 19 as well.

Pearson on the other hand I think is what he is. A guy who can go yard at any point but is never going to hit for any type of impressive average especially against better pitching. He is obviously a below average fielder wherever you put him as well if you dont have him DH. To me he's a PH/bench guy long term here, probably not an every day starter, even as DH (with the DH talent we are generally able to assemble here, and thinking long term when Arrambide isn't catching, the dude needs to be hitting still). He's gotten plenty of run now here and is like 21.5 years old too, so he isnt young by any shape of the imagination either.

We will see about Ruckert and Patrick more long term (assuming they stay), but you're not wrong. LA hasn't produced eye opening talent that's made it to a college campus this year or last year so far it seems (I'm sure I'm missing some dude ranked way outside the Top 500 that landed at a mid-major/JUCO somewhere and tearing it up, alas)...outside of Mikey Ryan at NC ST who did have an AWESOME season this year. Dude is hitting like .364 against ACC competition or something.

Grayden Harris at USM has been really consistent the first 2 years, dont know how dominant the stuff side is for him (he does get hit around a bit but only 4 HR allowed) but 3.39 ERA last year and 3.31 ERA is still notable and impressive I would say at least. He has only 43 walks and 4 wild pitches in 131.2 IP so far...clearly a little too in control for our staff here :lol: Dont know why he wasn't good enough for us despite being like 30 min from campus, but maybe Jay rectifies a wrong there and gets this kid back VERY close to home this offseason.

Maybe this is a little tough on these guys, but they are hitting

Ruckert - .214
Pearson - .182
Patrick - .176

In SEC play this season. Now Ruckert and Patrick's sample sizes arent near the size of Pearson but personally I wouldnt pencil in any of those 3 as "Building around" guys for sure next year. Not saying I wouldnt want them back, but I'm probably recruiting portal guys to compete against them for sure.

LSU has 2 national titles in the NIL era

Does anyone know who the Boot Up tweet was for?

Looking more and more like it was for Abdi Bashir Jr. at this point, just a little late after it initially went public

Do we have any position players who can pitch? Today might the day to use them

If interference why is he not out?

Thank God bad throw to 1st
