You are correct. I have never taken or asked for credit for kids that played for me. So to set the record straight.

Of course Emily played for only me pre college

Seaman played for me her JR. And Sr. Summer. Her parents contacted me and asked if we had spot. I absolutely did not recruit her to ay for me

Sydney Smith pitched for me for 2 years.....I am pretty sure Beth sent her to play for me, or her dad met me at a summer tournament and wanted to come play

Ali Waljasper. I dont remember exactly how she came to play for me her Sr. year.....I think her team Jose team disbanded and Beth asked if I had a spot. I knew her dad very well from his days coaching

Taryn Antoine.....yes played for me and was recruited during the time she played for me.

Carley Hoover only played one summer with me, became very good friends with her dad. She went to Stanford as a freshman (nothing to do with me) Was transferring and her dad called me....the. she went to LSU

As for Jaquish..... 1 of. best players I had privileged of watching during summers.....saw her at the on deck camp her Freshman year.....she was head and shoulders above everyone....even back then. But you can give all the credit to Coach Girard for her coming to LSU....committed before Beth got the job


Now Beth did ask me to take other players she recruited and signed

Lockwood, Satchel, Themes. But those are all players that Beth sent me, and I had no hand in them going to LSU.

Corbello and Landry....all the credit for their development goes to Baileys dad.....he coached them for many years and did a great job.

Its pretty simple. You can either believe me or not...I dont give 2 f**ks. The facts are simple.....and assistant coach was having a sexual relationship with a then current player. The head coach knew about it and didnt fire the coach. Matter of fact help them.get another job.....oh and like I said, this coach did the same thing at a previous job

I have dedicated a good part of my life to helping girls and coaching girls. I take a huge amount of pride in PROTECTING girls....ALL girls. So when something like this happens I find it disgusting....not only by the person with the power over a player doing it....but also disgusting that a superior just either ignored it, condoned it, or swept it under the rug. Ask yourself if you would send your daughter to a coaching staff that doesnt protect their players from sexual predators? You want to build the program to the place it should be.....you have got to get rid of the shite thats keeping it down. Trust me, many travelball coaches know all about this.....do you think they would send there kids to play for those type.of people. Just so you know, from 2014 - 2017 I think 9 players on the LSU roster had played for me. So there was a time I beleived in Beth.

Now you can try and tear me down....maybe even take a couple cheap shots at my daughter....if that makes you feel better. But at the end of the day, those who say I am trying to tear a program down are just ignorant. What kind of program would you have if there was a sexual assault investigation. In MY opinion Beth should resign and walk away, not because she is a bad coach...but because she did something that is morally wrong!

Oh, my daughter had a blast at LSU....she has life long friends from her playing time there. Doesn't regret 1 minute of her time there....and neither do I

Well atleast we agree on that.

Now if a supervisor new it was going on and did nothing about it, and actually help the person doing the harassment find another job and praise this person, how would you feel about that

Well if your in the restaurant business......do you ever worry about sexual harassment complaints from work force or mgt?

So casual.....who are you related to on the coaching staff.

She was "offered" the Texas job? Ya, not a true statement.

Dont know enough about Bryce, seems like a decent guy, but I think he has bought into the coolant and has a higher opinion of himself then might be warranted at this time. But I would be curious what MLB teams offered him a job.

Sandy will be a great coach for someone. Amazing softball IQ and an excellent teacher

Taylor....I have no opinion about her coaching, but did love to watch her play and loved the smile all the time.

As for the coaches that have left....I will juat leave it alone

The mental health statement was made as a general statement of maybe she did..maybe she didnt.....nobody know.

Not alluding to anything.

I dont like her because she is fake. I dont like her and she should be fired for a HUGE reason....again.....nothing you know about....but like you said...you dont care

Who said my kid didnt like her?

Why give you facts....you said you didnt care

I didnt say anything about her mental health. I said why would grown men(if you consider 18handicap a grown man) come on here and disparage a kid after she left? Why would be be on here bashing a young kid......when NONE of them know what was going on in her life.

I had many kids play for this coach...including my own kid. I know 2 elite pitchers that transferred out of LSU......and I can assure you it wasnt about the school or their playing time.

Before people run their mouths about kids...they should know the facts.

If something stinks......there is probably some shite in there somewhere

If you cant recruit the kids that are program changers, its almost impossible to be elite. LSU has a recruiting problem, and a unfortunately a reputation problem

4 year window! 3 straight WCWS and a loss in extra innings in super regionals because of coaching to eventual National champions FSU

You are correct and I apologize. I was thinking her freshman year. So maybe should have sat out, maybe there was nobody better to put out there, I honestly dont know. What I am absolutely correct about is that Beth is not Emilys Godmother or anything else to Emily. If you knew the inner workings of what went on in this program during that time you would never think Emily was favored by Beth and you would know that Beth never sought my advice nor was my advice or opinion ever given to her. Trust me, I had my opinions....lol


Again, my apologies for being wronf
