    Yeah, I don't see what makes him so great. He throws a childish hissy every time things don't go his way. He just doesn't strike me as a guy I could respect.

    He's doing something right.

    Easiest place to in the country to win a natty when you factor in TOPS, and he has one in over a decade. He is good, but no beyter than three or four others in this league.

    I talked to a LSU parent and let me just say the LSU players respect their head coach but love Cann and couldn't wait to talk to him after the series with us was over. We need to be patient. Coach Cannizaro is going to win big.

    Normally any coach gets a pass in year one because of the way the recruiting cycle falls. Cann should get a pass next year too because of when he was hired. We should be pretty good anyway- like this year. Next year we're going to be on the road a lot but our pitching should be better.

    LSU is going to get the best players in Louisiana no matter who the coach is. But sort of like Mississippi they still need to recruit out of state some to be an elite program- Lange, Walker, Robertson, and Papierski among others. That's why he needs an elite level recruiter like Cann to identify and get those players there and also to make sure that they properly identify the best in state players so they won't end up like Smoke Laval.

    Interestingly enough, manieri and lsu won the sec the year before Cann got there ('13) and the year he left ('17) with none in between. In no way am I saying lsu is better off without him bc that's ridiculous, but let's not act like manieri's success was just bc of Cann.

    Cann actually got there in 2015. No one is saying that LSU is or was successful only because of Cannizaro. But that championship that you are referring to this year doesn't happen if Cann wasn't able to get those four senior players back. A lot of LSU fans don't like Manieri because he isn't winning at the level that Bertman was. They probably never will- but that's besides the point. Manieri knows that he needs someone like Cannizaro that can recruit AND coach hitting at a high level to even give them a chance to get back to that. That was the problem with Javi Sanchez- he could recruit but he wasn't considered a very good hitting coach.

    I think Manieri knew that with Cannizaro there was a very good chance that he would get LSU close to where they were- he was just starting to get his first cycle of players in- and Manieri was going to take credit for that. Cann gave LSU a tremendous recruiting advantage with his abilities to evaluate talent and also with his scouting connections. Now Manieri has lost that- and on top of that Cann is at one of LSU's biggest baseball rivals and may be a threat to take his pitching coach one day.

    In other words- instead of Manieri getting a statue built in front of Alex Box he's going to have to worry about us kicking their ass and have to listen to their fans bitch until his contract runs out in 2024. And don't be surprised with Cann's NOLA connections if he is able to get a few recruits from Louisiana for us that are LSU level like Basiel Williams from Ponchatoula. If Cann is able to go to Louisiana and is able to start taking a recruit or two a year from them- it will hurt. Not many SEC schools can do that to LSU.

    Nail on head, Todd! We about to start getting some players that would have otherwise gone to lsu. Don't be surprised if manieri bitching about Cann "poaching" his recruits doesn't reach a fever pitch in the next 6 months. It's gonna be fun to watch that little turd manieri whine and bitch about losing some recruits to the "coach who left in November" I can't wait!

    Manieri better hope he makes the CWS this year and doesn't choke. If they don't make the CWS this year, my prediction is Manieri is gone within two years.

    I think Cann took a LOT of pressure off of Manieri as far as recruiting and retaining players. Manieri is a damn good coach, but assistants like Cann pick up a lot of slack. As pissy as Manieri is, I can certainly see why he'd be holding a grudge because now he'll have to work a little harder.

    Who have we gotten, as a result of Cann, other that Tanner Allen that would've gone to LSU? (Serious question)

    Imagine the LSU team this year if all those SR's had not come back. And most of them came back probably with Andy telling them it wouldn't hurt their draft stock. Totally different team without Lange an Poche', Kramer's Mom, etc.

    If lsu doesn't win a natty and probably even if they do, freeman and Robertson will regret that decision financially over the next year years.

    Tyreque Reed.

    Obviously Cann inherited this class pretty much and per Manieri they had a verbal agreement that Cann wouldn't take any of their recruits. Allen de-committed and then committed to us on his own.

    It's not the recruits this year- it's the ones in the coming classes. Guys like Basiel Williams and Cole Winn from Colorado.
