We need to send Dari Nowkah a thank you. He said he texted the Arkansas SID before the 8th to set-up a post-game interview to celebrate Arkansas's SEC title. If he did that to us, I'd be livid....

He was committed to ND at one point, so Kelly has a relationship of some sort with him. However, the ND commitment comes with a back-story. Keely attends a private school in Florida (think like Newman in NOLA) and somewhat lives with a family who went to the same private school, That family has a so...

Brought this up on the roster thread a week ago, but it looks like Hellmers is trending up for the final roster spot on the pitching staff. Neither Dutton or Edwards threw this weekend to my knowledge. Seems like that says Hellmers leaves the fall with a leg-up and Edwards and Dutton are on outside ...

Has a really repeatable delivery, which I like. Good arm side run on his fastball and great control over it. Legitimate "get-me-over" off-speed pitch, which he throws for strikes. Only thing I did not see was a really tight version of a breaking ball that would be more of an "out" pitch. Of all the...

For those who have been to the fall scrimmages or have seen him play at all, how does Frey look against higher level pitching? Since he played a lot of football and also played in a low LA classification, I assume he didn't see as much good pitching compared to the baseball-only high schoolers who s...

Credit for the stats go to BayTiger. Through the first 10 scrimmages, Hellmers has been about half point better in WHIP than Dutton who was a half point better than Edwards....

[quote]I appreciate this type of analysis.[/quote] Thank you. That means a lot. I followed this board from afar when I lived away for years before ESPN came in to broadcast most games. Yourself, Rabbit, Scuba, and many others were my link to LSU baseball. Wasn't aware Appleby was a Redshirt i...

Here's my take on the roster. Based on performance or being a new recruit (and Johnson has not shown a willingness to cut recruits without a season), you're left with: - 4 COVID seniors who do not count - 33 roster "locks", who will stay unless they transfer - 3 questions marks - 3 on the outsi...

[quote]Recruiting >>> Special Teams Bad coaching is not why players drop punts[/quote] Not if the special teams is bad enough to lead to losses. The #1 item in recruiting (besides NIL money if your school/boosters can afford it) is winning. When special teams cost us wins (which it has and may...

[quote]I agree. You will see the glaringly obvious holes in the roster on ST quicker than you will see it with the starters on O and D. Not saying that he's free from accountability, but he truly was dealt a bad hand lol[/quote] The lack of depth is part of the problem, but it's not like we are...
