The landscape of college baseball was completely different. More teams than ever are pumping money into the sport and playing competitive ball. Even Skip would tell you his success would look different in today’s college baseball

re: Is Milam a big leaguer?

Yea I think he’ll play in the big leagues

He likely won’t be a regular, but lots of teams carry guys who aren’t great hitters but can play very good middle infield defense. The switch hitting helps too

Saw an NC State baw on twitter acting like McNeil to LSU is done. No idea on his credentials, but didn't seem like the type to be fishing for engagement (shoutout Daigle and Herbert)

I say we make one exception. Jake Brown seems to have more success with a little air time. Other teams are using about 10 pull side infielders against him.

I promise that Jay is not telling Jake Brown to hit low line drives

It’s not just a 2026 thing. He consistently takes unnecessary risks.

Robert miller is not a keep. He can go. We need better guys than him. He’s not tough at all.

He's not a good player *yet* but he would hardly be the first big man to take a few years to develop into one.

I'd like to keep him, all things considered. I could see him being a real defensive player with some development.

His bigs are "roll men". Outside-In offense. This does not work at this level.

Heavily disagree.

ALL Final 4 teams currently have true back to the basket Centers, they ALL average at least 10ppg.

Uh...no. Reed from Uconn is a true post player, you got that one right.

Michigan and Arizona will throw the ball in the post to Aday Mara and Montiejus Krivas when they have mismatches but the vast majority of their value is defensive, not offensive. Mara also does a ton of rolling and off ball stuff that ends up in lobs.

Tomi Ivisic from Illinois literally shoots more 3's than 2's. How can that be a "true back to the basket center"?

re: When should we expect to hear news of McMahon’s future?

Posted by DallasTiger45 on 3/13/26 at 8:20 am to TigahFan85

Y’all can act like I’m crazy for asking the question, but many schools have made statements saying they’re keeping their current coach and committing more money to the roster instead of firing him.

I don’t remember if they leaked it or made a public statement last year, but LSU sent out that same message at the end of the 2025 season.

When should we expect to hear news of McMahon’s future?

Posted by DallasTiger45 on 3/13/26 at 8:07 am

The season is basically over, highly doubt we are invited to any postseason tournament with a 15-17 (3-15) record

I expect there will be a statement on McMahon’s future (one way or the other) soon - when are we thinking? Friday news dump today? Wait until we are officially passed over for postseason ball at the conclusion of the weekend?

Disappointed Brown didn’t break 4.4, especially since he weighed in under 180 pounds

And I wonder if Hilton’s lower body injuries have sapped some of his explosiveness, his jumps and 40 were solid but not what he had been billed to be from the preseason camp talk every year

re: I'm really trying to understand why McMahon's teams are so bad

Dedan Thomas is a decent player but he is nowhere near all conference level. Watch Darius Acuff, Labaron Philon, or the Tahaad Pettiford if you want to see what an all conference level PG looks like.

Your post is both right and wrong

Dedan Thomas is much better than a "decent player", but to be all-conference in today's SEC you need to be a legit NBA prospect (Acuff is going top 10 and Philon probably top 20). We don't have that type of top level talent, and McMahon's teams don't seem to have the identity or continuity you need to succeed without NBA players

Also Tahaad Pettiford has had a pretty disappointing season btw, I'd take Thomas over him straight up

Somebody should tell the NFL teams Weis turned down that he hates it at LSU, I'm sure that will be news to them.

We just spent 8 figures in one football transfer portal window after the costs to buyout Kelly and hire Lane.

The costs to buyout and hire coaches are rarely all due at once. They'll make it work

This is a myth imo in the transfer portal era

Vandy, Louisville, Iowa, Virginia, and Michigan have all had immediate turnarounds hiring mid major coaches in the past 2 years.

Posted by DallasTiger45 on 2/11/26 at 12:18 pm

He hasn’t sniffed the tourney in 4 years. A official statement was put out last year saying we needed to invest in him via the portal…and the results are no different (actually worse) The guy who hired him is no longer here. Fan discontent has largely turned to apathy at a level impossible to ignore. The new AD/president just made a major splash hire in another sport.

Use your brains, people.
