D1 baseball is saying LSU looks like his landing spot. Said rumors of his interest in LSU prior to his portal announcement. We shall see.

Yep, buying the best college baseball team money can buy!! We better start crapping or getting off the pot. We all keep waiting for just one blockbuster portal pick-up while LSU seems to be getting one every day. I?m exercising patience, but give us something!!!

Everybody talks about NIL, but it's tampering we've got to learn how to work.
No honor amongst thieves. LSU is grabbing up every top player. We're hitting up Mercer, UNO, and Samford.

Yeah I've wondered about what kind of tampering rules are in place but obviously there's none. This kids are being contacted before their seasons are even finished

I think NCAA rules are out the window at this point so who cares about tampering? I mean NIL was started as something that would be done by businesses who would pay to use a player's name, image or likeness if the player had name value. Now that's all devolved to where the fans and boosters are being asked to pool money into a collective (basically a slush fund) to buy players out of the portal or HS just to get them to come to your school before they even have any name recognition with most folks just to be able to stay competitive. What a sh!tshow college athletics is becoming.

I get what you're saying. We have had a lot of success with transfers over the last few years. Our last transfer from Mercer worked out pretty good.

Yeah, but all those others we took last year didn't pan out and that hurt us this year. Give me a top pitcher off a super regional team over a guy with a 5 ERA on a little team not doing much. Obviously there are some takes there too, especially guys with high draft potential.

I'm with ya in wanting top talent too. Lsu apparently is outbidding everyone on players. I happen to have a little inside info on Waldrup. He was supposedly headed to uf after supers but looks lsu snaked them.

Davis was a reach but pretty much everyone thought walling was gonna help.

I remember the days when baseball players went to college for the love of the game and to be developed, before all the money changed things. Seems like just a few years ago***
I'm glad I have other hobbies...

I remember us having a pretty heated argument on hear about Davis and so many of us didn't understand the take.

Not saying we didn't have a shot I'm just saying that his deal was pretty much done before his season was even over. I heard day after supers he was headed to uf and nothing happens that quick without prior communication. And then lsu got involved. Couple kids on usm I coached and/or know pretty well.

I bet LSU wants to win more NC?s. My concern is Cohen and Keenum are satisfied with the 1 on that fence and will not do what needs to be done! I perceive a Coach who likes to coach from their seat? like Our former women?s basketball coach and Lemonis, are just not going to go all in to get the players it takes in the new market. I don?t believe Leach will either. I think he is counting on his reputation to bring in skill players and the type of staff to fight like hell to Winn recruiting battles!

Having gone to the games ..I want to sweep LSU more than any other school. They dismiss us like an automatic wells bend over and enjoy it win. I would love to bury their program and all of their hopes into the ground and make them respect us. That said, they are beating us win every aspect of recruiting.

Is 100% a definite and legitimate concern.
