I like this strategy to avoid any drama in the clubhouse; just rename positions. CF1 CF2

I don't disagree, but I don't think Jay is avoiding Louisiana kids. If the number of Louisiana kids on our roster ever gets to zero that speaks more of youth baseball development in Louisiana than it does Johnson's recruiting strategy.
I agree. It’s just hard to imagine the Louisiana baseball cupboard being THAT bare.

Times are changing. Baseball was still a very regional sport in the 90s and 2000s. It's popularity has spread and the ability to recruit nationally with showcases and national 14, 15, 16, 17U teams has changed the landscape for the top programs.
I agree but one of the variables in both of our recent championships have been Louisiana kids. I know Coach thinks it’s important too. I trust him. With that said, I think the number should never go to zero.

I just looked at the 2026 class. Looks like quite a few draft risks, but what really stands out is only one Louisiana recruit. There has to be more than one kid worthy of an offer. We only got two this cycle. I know some don’t put stock into having hometown players, but I think you need more than that.
Just for kicks one day, I read all of the plaques posted outside the Box of all of the great LSU players over the years. Exactly 50% of them were Louisiana kids. I’m not saying we need that ratio, but I hope we can bump it up a bit.

He’s a really good player but from all of the interviews I’ve seen of him, to borrow a phrase from Coach JJ, “he’s even a better human being.”

It is still very intriguing on how the roster management will take place at this point.
Is it me or does it seem like there is still some vagueness in the roster limit rules?

Thanks for the update. I guess you can mark Woods as drafted (and not in the portal).

Hopefully it will be a brash and cocky coach that tends to stir the pot. Or one that likes bananas.

I wonder when the NIL amounts will start taking a psychological toll on players that are receiving big checks but not performing up to expectations.
Regardless, Jay needs a raise.

re: When did your LSU baseball fandom start?

I was at LSU from 90-95. A pretty good time. I always loved baseball but LSU baseball was something different. Better than every other baseball. I still feel that way. The history. The players. The stats. The fanbase. Love it all. Still haven’t been to Omaha but hoping to retire soon and then go every year.

No im sure they’ll travel to South Carolina again for the 12th year in a row. The SEC apparently doesn’t think USCe should ever have to play at Alex Box.
Only Tiger fans that live on the east coast think this is a good idea.

Maybe the older Frank Anderson gets, the more of a dick he becomes. I'm definitely more of a dick in my older age.
