LSU is hiring Nate Yeskie as PC.

Must hve taken a pretty penny. But I can't blame them for supporting a program that just won a natty

Yeskie was Johnson's PC at Arizona

Yeskie was Johnson's PC at Arizona

I get the connection, but Yeski made 300k at Zona and was the "associate head coach" at A&M and no doubt made more than that. I can't imagine he left for LSU without a raise

[AlSwearengen]

I’ve seen it mentioned that Yeski didn’t really like Johnson but that could be total BS, I have no idea. I wonder why Yeski didn’t go to lsu with Johnson initially, unless he was just getting a better deal from A&M at the time.

I think I have also seen it mentioned that Yeski isn’t happy at A&M for whatever reason, which looks to be a legitimate rumor.

Yeski wanted out of A&M. Hooked back up with Johnson because LSU will buy him pitchers (simple version). He butted heads with Johnson at Zona because they wouldn't get him pitchers and just loaded up on bats. I'd guess he's making a little more than at A&M. Wes was making close to $400K.

an A&M fan listed 5 pitchers that got worse from '22 to '23. Was it a bad year for Yeski, or a Fox situation? Probably the first. But I'd rather have Parker honestly.

It would be hard to be happy in college station unless you are an Aggie at heart. That fan base is weird and cultish and they do not grow on you at all...trust me, I live here.

No that WF season is over, does TAM make a run at Muscara and the East German pitching lady?

Not every pitcher is going to get better every year.

I'm just thankful that LSU didn't get Muscara. Word on the street is he wants to be a head coach somewhere so he may be just biding his time.

Agreed. That's why I don't agree with C34 that our Fr from last year will develop into at least 2 aolid starters next year. That a big ask.

But in A&M's case it's not an issue of "some players dint take a step forward", but "almost every returning pitcher got significantly worse". Which IS rare for a non Fox coached Staff. But Yeski has a long track record so it was probably just a fluke

The Twins were paying him that and LSU doubled it.

[TNDawg35]

A&M reeled in a hell of a 3b per Kendall Rogers. Hit like .300 something with 24 homers and was MAAC player of the year last year…

Yet we sit on our hands… I have no clue what is going on, but we have literally got ONE kid. ONE!!!! I don’t give a shit about the super secret commits. That’s bullshit. I won’t believe it until I see it at this point…

His base pay was $380K at LSU

We aren't sitting on our hands. But, Lemonis is making a huge mistake shutting down everything to the media though. I want to say more but I'll wait.

TCU is killing the portal - They have two massive gets - Burns and now Payton Tolle

Golden Spikes and Orelud candidates

I saw something yesterday on twitter that said Burns was staying at Tenn. It said lsu and vandy offered him 6 figures but a Tenn booster matched it and he was staying.
I still haven’t seen that again, so it might be misinformation.

and they may not- but I think they have too much talent not to develop. Between Simmons, Loftin, Loo, and Holcombe's country ass- we should have at least 2 SEC SP's this Spring

We only need two out of the seven to take a step forward. That's not a big ask at all. Regardless we're not just relying on them taking a step forward. We have JUCO pitchers, guys from the portal, people coming back from Injuries, and then we may get some guys back from the draft for their senior year.

Again- I don't think our fans can fathom how bad Foxhall was at multiple things. It's going to become very apparent next year though.

[Randolph Dupree]

Right now, from the outside looking in, we appear to be failing at an epic level with the transfer portal. Only silver lining I can possibly see at this point is that we are banking NIL to spend when the next staff takes over next June. I hope I eat crow later, and I will gladly take seconds with that meal but it appears that we have totaled the Ferrari and insurance isn't going to cover it.
