TWHouston

He’s spent the last two off-seasons at Drive Line in Arizona. They have made him a different player. They worked with him adding an extra pitch.
The worked mostly on tightening up what he already had. Mainly control and movement. You could see that yesterday with his change up and slider. His slider had a sharper break and was tight. His change up was great. His freshman year he didn’t have a lot of confidence throwing those. He knew he wasn’t going to be able to rely on just his fastball and curveball.

He said he is confident throwing all 5 pitches for a strike in any count. He has waited 2 years to get back on the mound and he wasn’t going to make the most of it. He lives for those moments and loves the pressure.

He is one of the most competitive players I’ve known. But like someone else said he just as good in the dugout. He has always been a leader but it’s something hard to find. Everyone around him feeds off his energy and knows when to speak up even when he was hurt, the dugout fed off him.

He’s been that way since his sophomore year at Barbe on a stacked team and keeps growing.

Also,

If you would have read my post i even stated he will not have a single incision. i said it was minimally invasive procedures. He clearly not getting cut on the night before they travel. I thought you would be able to come to that conclusion all by yourself. I think anyone that played sports was pretty sure they knew what i was talking about thats been injured during a season.

So what made you think he having back surgery then travel the following day and then possibly pitch after going under the knife. Since you are struggling to understand what i said, he was getting an injection very similar to an epidural and at least one injection possibly another one that put very strong medicine that would coat his discs. So he had two possibly three injections. One was more of an epidural. i really hope that helped you understand a little better. Did you honestly think he was having surgery the night before he traveled with a chance he could pitch 2 days after back surgery? Also it was last night. I dont know how to feel that you actually typed that

What the frick are you talking about. Are you dumb or just cant read. what have i flip flopped on. We are with his family all the time. He treats my son like his little brother. Everything I've said except going to a smaller school next year, which i admitted i was wrong has come directly from our my phone call with Gavin yesterday or directly from his parents. My cousin coaches at Barbe and also very close with the family. he coached Gavin's sister on his travel volleyball team. He's very close to Gary, their dad

Go frick yourself! Read what I've posted and you can find everything i have said. You can even find multiple pictures of our families together and alot of my son with Gavin at Barbe working out. I'm not about to give your dumbass a picture of my son or myself

I miss spoke last night. Gavin has said he wants to pitch because hitting is way to hard. He loves LSU and I don’t see him leaving LSU for any reason.
Even though he had a couple nice NIL deals. But he’s not leaving, I just hope what they did last night isn’t just a quick fix for the season and doesn’t cause long term problems or it to continue to linger around

His parents were at my house for dinner tonight. Gary stayed on the phone at least 3 hours talking to his medical staff and coaches. Some options being discussed, minimally invasive treatment. That’s as far as I’ll go, I can’t say anything else about the procedure.

Yes, if all goes accordingly I definitely think he goes this weekend!! The procedures are very simple that he want even an encision. He might even throw a pen in the morning. I doubt he even thinks about his back! The right medicine will fix anything.

He wasn’t able to hit his benchmarks mid day but they would try again tonight. His family just left about an hour ago after frying shrimp and some Cappie. He was not close to hitting his benchmarks. I am not speaking about what opinions are being discussed but it’s very possible he wakes up ready to pitch his arse off this weekend and his back will allow him to hit every benchmark and not much will be mentioned about the back issues.

Unfortunately the Stem Cells aren't responding like they hoped. Too bad, i got them in my knee and havent had an issue with it in 3yrs

I mentioned in one of the summer ball stat threads a while back that Gavin was in pitching program in Arizona most of the summer. Asked to really focus on a few things with some very positive rewards if he put in the work and showed he could handle business. Told he would he would have an opportunity to take a weekend spot that was up for grabs and would be given plenty of looks. He obviously worked hard over the summer and the coaches seem to be giving him the looks he was told he would get.

Gavin Guidry moved to LC when he was 11. Brody Drost transferred legally and sat out his freshman year to be eligible. Both moved because they wanted to play at Barbe and were not interested in being a part of the politics is SHS.
Also to be fair, both were actually recruited but not by Barbe! They were both called by another high school coach multiple times over multiple weeks to transfer to their school because things were tough at Barbe.

Without going to far, the last part of your post about only being contacted by the coach your talking about is 100% false. Every coach around knew he headed to Barbe.

Gavin’s sister was a good softball player but really excelled at volleyball at Barbe. She had offers to play in college but it’s funny how things happened. Gavin’s junior year she brought a guy to a wedding and you could tell something was different. That night I met Brody for the first time and he was a big deal. He was just awarded LGPOTY and signed with LSU and she fell hard. He was actually in Love and didn’t know it yet. We know how his career ended at LSU because he had her living with him and couldn’t care less about baseball. Same thing with her athletic mind. Gavin and Brody are completely different though. I’ve never been around anyone like Gavin in my life. He is a special kid and natural leader. He is so driven by his only goal and has a strong mindset that makes him work 24/7 to live his dream. He also started dating a girl right after he got to Baton Rouge. We got worried when he brought her home to the family because he hadn’t ever before. Luckily they are both athletes with dreams and they push each other and make sure they are working harder than ever. Big relief to everyone
