But too many of our fans think its just about baseball and our awesome stadium. So much more goes into these decisions. And as mentioned- coming to visit StarkVegas on say Wednesday June 8th is not the town at its best.

BR is pretty dangerous. Spent a lot of time there.

I?d think most real transfers that can make
an impact have the party aspect lower on the list. If they don?t, they?ll typically not be impactful outside of the rare freak.

Now imagine Tommy being used by Jay Johnson to talk to the guy from Indiana State who hit 23 HR's this season to help recruit him to BR. That is what is happening now

Those don?t come around often.

These recruits likely haven't heard much about Starkville other than the atmosphere on gameday. I just don't but what you're selling. Like mentioned above, if they want a big city, they attenuation coming here. If it's for baseball we've always had a chance. Now your take on money I agree with. The lsu, Florida are going to out big us and with their recent success they will likely win the head to head or discount. But saying someone from Cali or Indiana has heard that Starkville is a dump is a little much

I live in the BR metro area. The players that are leaving LSU are getting processed or looking for playing time. It?s happens at every program. LSU are getting players because they are a blue blood program and are willing to overpay. BR itself does have more to do than Starkville and it?s only an hr or so to New Orleans.
