I agree. You can’t go to Hoover or Omaha and see the large number of LSU fans there and realize they have standing reservations because they expect to be there every year and compete

Not spectacular does not work when you are spending millions to win. Talk about expectations. It will be Sec regular season, sec tournament and Natty. Anything else will be failure

I get the HR exaggerated thing but that does not matter unless you are hitting balls between the red lines of LNS and Hoover. Most of our HR's were hit way over the lines for Hoover so it is a mute point.

I told ya'll what was going to happen. I had heard rumors at SEC tournament that LSU was going to buy a Natty. They are becoming the elite travel ball team with the big sponsor, you fill in the blank. They are going to throw money at the biggest transfer portal guys out there this year and...

Glad to hear that Spyre is only taking 10% of all the deals they are doing. I know it costs money for you guys to do the deals but I'm so glad to hear that you are giving the money to the players. I've read so many articles that say that most companies are only giving the players a small % of...

I hope so. If the NIL deals with volshop and alumni hall pay out 90% then that would be great. Where can I find the Q&A tonight?

Disagree on the additional coaches and additional scholarships. Not going to happen. Too many small schools that cannot afford to add additional coaches or scholarships. Looking for the numbers but it was surprising the number of schools that did not have 2 full-time assistants and how many...

The problem is why would you want to bring in HS players who are unknown when you can bring in players that are proven. The Transfer Portal has made recruiting HS players and the recruiting class rankings obsolete. Right now you can go get top level fielders and pitchers for every position out...

2024 we are #2 in rankings for recruiting. It is hard to recruit top guys when you have so many freshman who contributed this year coming back. Part of being #1 and guys knowing who is coming back. You have to understand that the rankings for recruiting are top heavy. You get mega points for...

Zach is 98 tops and sits 94-96. But he is just coming back so who knows where he will be. Ben was not there right away.

I have the answer on the cap that I did not know. That is still his cap from freshman year. The ones they keep giving him don't fit right so he is staying with the one that fits. :)

Vitello and staff are best recruiters in the business but when you can't match the money (NIL deals) that other schools can give it does not matter. Would you rather go to #1 team in the nation with just scholarship and small NIL opportunities or another SEC school with scholarship and $100,000...

I don't think Danny White has anything to do with NIL. It is individual Vol Supporters. I know LSU has put together a large group of LSU faithful baseball guys who have a sum of millions, I'm told, that are available for NIL deals. I would say none of our players have gotten enough to buy a...

NIL deals. UT is tying Vitello's hands when it comes to recruiting until they can get some of the NIL money football and basketball has offered to go to baseball. We would not come close to what I hear LSU offered a few and I don't think they are done with the transfer portal. All of the blue...

This would be one of those accepted antics that happens in baseball. I've always said it should be considered unsportsmanship when the dugout get involved in it but it has never been.
