  Speaker 2: out to the box.
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: Uh, we got like a buy a ticket situation.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: No, I don't think so, like you need the celebrations,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Like you just go in the seat and yeah, have
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: like a little ceremony right there by home plate and
• 20:32

• 20:37
  Speaker 4: They're fired up.
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: Well you got to now you got jerseys.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: I know we got jerseys. I feel kind of bad though,
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: like we're gonna go. We didn't go to a game
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: this year. I feel kind of bad because we were
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: late bloomers. I think everybody here knows that.
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: What look you were. But once you got in, you
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: were in.
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: We're all in. You were in. Let there be a
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: home game right now, you there, we'd be there. We'd
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: be there.
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: What game three?
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: Mid game coming up? Way, let's go who are we playing?
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Let's play Luptmber, Pilots and Tigers.
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: Yes, it's a good idea, man A minute, Like I
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: think we went to.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: It might have been like a game in the Omaha Series,
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: like one of those early ones, and I saw pictures.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Yet it was like hoodie season, like the beginning of
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: baseball season. So you just think about how long baseball
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: season truly is. Like our entire crew is in hoodies
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: and beanies and and now we're in just you know,
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: the middle of June.
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: When it's hotter than hot and we still have hoodies
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: on because the studio and cold. Yes it is sixty
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: was it sixty one degrees? I think what they keep
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: it at it might be fifty nine.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: So so let me hear let me just take me
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: through a three sixty five overview of l s U baseball,
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: Like what's the next like kind of news cycle that happens.
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: Is it transfers?
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all of that, yes, and so okay, So for baseball,
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: like high school recruiting, like the elite guys at LSU
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: baseball is trying to get The thing that Jay Johnson
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: his staff sweat out the most is the MLB Draft
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: because he's got a handful of players that he has
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: already gotten to. You know, they're gonna be at LSU.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Everything's done, But if they get drafted and they like
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: that number, then I'm sure.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: It's not as big of like a gap anymore.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: But oh no, I mean you're getting players on campus
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: that you never would have gotten on campus before. Now
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's all because of NIL, but it
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: certainly helps.
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: Like William Schmidt would not.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: Be on LSU's baseball team, Derek curry Up probably wouldn't
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: be on LSU's baseball team. Case and Evans might not
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: be on LU Like we could go on and on,
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: but yeah, now you can you can give them something.
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: And also, you know, because at some point the money
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: might not match, but at least you're not getting nothing.
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: Well, I've talked, and you have.
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: The opportunity to grow, develop, and it's like it's the
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: greatest pre m l the right situation that's been going
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: to a single.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: So I've talked to people, not just at LSU, but
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: they've been in a situation where they would have been
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: a top sixty pick and they chose college. I'm like, hey,
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: well why'd you do that? And they say, you know,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: in IL now you can compete a little bit. It's
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: not the same, it's it. But also instead of going
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: straight from high school, and go getting you know, on
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: a bus in bf E Indiana, right and traveling to
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: these games. I can get on a chartered flight in
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: the SEC and then go play baseball. Everything's first class
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: every day in a badass facility. Everything's taken care of. Yeah,
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: I got this incredible facility, got this incredible you know condo.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: That's part of my scholarship. I get school paid for.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: It's like, and so I have that experience. And now
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: you're seeing these SEC baseball players spend about a year
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: and a half in the minors and they're up like
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: the elite ones. Right, and so instead of doing that
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: for three and a half years, four years riding on
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: a bus between you know, Indiana to Ohio and like
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: just all these random places.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: So you would say college football is more collegewall. College
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: basket baseball is more developmental than like the standard farm system.
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: I think it's close. It's close enough.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: Was the gap used to be different? It used to
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: be like college. They didn't think was because a lot
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: of those guys we went from high school straight to
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: the MLB drafts.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and so now you know, it's very comparable and
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: you look up and right now, anytime in double A,
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: which is where your most talent's going to be, and
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: it's just littered with people that you saw play in
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: the SEC last year.
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: It's not just the SEC, but certainly it's a bulk
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: of it. So yeah, and so that's what you know.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Jay, Still though you got sweat some people out, like
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: you still lost some last year, you'll lose them this year.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: But now you can be more competitive. You can get
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: guys on campus that you never would have before. So
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: they're going through that, they're going through the transfer portal.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: You know, Jay has done a really nice job of
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: identifying players in the portal. Big school, small school does
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: not matter, right. I mean, yeah, sure they're highly rated
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: in the portal, but he bets on Daniel Digginson being
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: able to go from Utah Valley to LSU, Luis Hernandez
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: going from Indiana State to LSU. You still get your
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Chris Stanfield who's at Auburn to come to LSU. So
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: like it's a mixture of all that. So like, right now,
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: I can promise you Jay is on the phone recruiting
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: his butt off right now, even though they've got a
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: championship celebration coming up tomorrow, Taylor.
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: You brought this up at the break.
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: Do we have kind of the list of guys we
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: are losing to graduation that are going to be a
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: little bit on the edge that, like you said, will
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: be on the edge of our seat during the draft.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Well, our colleague Hunt Palmer put out a great article
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: on Louisiana Sports dot Net. Shout out to Hunt and
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: he's got it broken down players that are out of eligibility,
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: likely draft departures, decisions to make So the list right
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: now out of eligibility Josh Pearson, Michael Braswell, Luis Hernandez
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Dalton Beck all right, likely draft departures, Bear Jones, Daniel Dickinson.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: On the position player side, pitchers, Kate Anderson, Anthony Hyson,
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: Chase Shores, Jacob Myers.
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: Now, some people that.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Saw, you know Chase Shore's throw, they know he's a
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: rich shirt sophomore. He would still have leverage if he
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: came back next year, but he's he's not a starter
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: at the next level, right he would probably be a
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: starter in LSU uniform released the opportunity to try to
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: go earn a spot again. I mean that's where he
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: started this season. But for Chase shores and I get it.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: On the biggest stage. You just came into the game
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: pumping one hundred one oh one thing, an eighty eight
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: mile per hour slider that had some bite to it it. Yeah,
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: so that's kind of one of those strike while the
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: iron's hot situations.
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not I'd be surprised at this point if
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: he came back. I don't know what baseball scouts look for,
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: but watching that dude come in, they had.
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: To be drooling on themselves. I mean, I think he
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: had at one point four pitches that were triple digits
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: in a row, and the movement that he had. I was.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: I was blown away just watching him come in, just
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: like the change of pace that it brought to after
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: after I started.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: He'll be he'll be in a big league bullpen. I
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: think Jay said this to eighteen months.
• 27:40
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I had to cut audio. He definitely said that, Yes, yes, yes,
• 27:44
  Speaker 7: he definitely said that is.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: The man that's worked with a lot of uh hump
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: pull Meryan shows and oh holy audio.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: I mean, obviously you can't hide the talent from anybody.
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: But before the College World Series, was he kind of
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: like a shooting.
• 28:00
  Speaker 5: To come back?
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: I mean I don't really think it, like it's a
• 28:03
  Speaker 6: couple of ends make that.
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, oh for sure.
• 28:08
  Speaker 8: That I think Kate Anderson made himself the first pick.
• 28:11
  Speaker 8: Now that's a culmination of the whole season. But throwing
• 28:14
  Speaker 8: a complete game shutout in the finals, it doesn't hurt.
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: Sure, But like.
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: I think before that performance top five, top five to one,
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: not as big of a jump to state at LSU
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: to getting drafted high enough for the.
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: Money to make it worth it.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: No, I mean we have seen, like there's been plenty
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: of examples over the years where guys in regional, super regionals,
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: World Series situation that they've been draftable guys like they're
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: going to be like a midro and then they just
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: shoved or hit three bombs whatever it might be, and
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: they end up being you know, top five rounds. Yeah,
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: without question. So I think Jay Shores falls into that category.
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: And again that's you know, likely draft departures again, Bart Jones,
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Daniel Diggings and Kate Anderson, Anthony IINs and Chase Shor's
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: Jacob Myers fall into that category. We'll take a break
• 29:06

  Speaker 6: Welcome back an OTV one O four five ESPN mat rous.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: You're on this Tuesday morning taking a look at potentially
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: what the twenty twenty six LSU baseball team could look like.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: And again Hump Palmer did a fantastic job on louisianasports
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: dot Net putting it together. We left you off with
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: guys who are likely to depart for the MLB Draft.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Now guys that have to think about it a little bit.
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Position players Ethan Fry, Chris Stanfield and Tanner Reeves. Pitchers
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Connor ware Zach Cowan, Jayden Newt, Gavin Gidgery and Grant
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Fontina all right, So for me, and it's all about
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: leverage Matt in the MLB draft, Okay, Like it's not
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: the NFL draft where you can come back for your
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: senior year still be the number one overall pick. It's
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: like you gotta go when you're a junior or you're
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: a draft eligible sophomore.
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: You you know you want to have all the leverage
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: that you can.
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: You want to be able to threaten with the MLB
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: team that you can come back for your senior year if.
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: You got no eligibility, you got no negotiation.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: With power exactly, and you're gonna get a bag of
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: some flower seeds and a bus ticket to go to
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Nobody would, at least I shouldn't think that anybody would, uh,
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: of that group, I mean and Hunt Rights, I mean
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Ethan Fry was so clutched this year hit three point
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: thirty one thirteen homers.
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: Both of those were second on the team.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: He's in a situation where you know your your value,
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: your stock's probably at an all time high right now.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Of those three players, he's probably the most likely to
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: go to the draft. For me, I don't know if
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: anybody else would disagree with that.
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: No, Guidry's coming back. For sure, Gidrey has a change.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Anything about I'm more just talking about the position players.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: But yeah, Gudry's got to come back. Yeah, he's got
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: to put some more stuff on tape. The guy could
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: be look new could be a Sunday yep starter too
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: for the entire season, Like it'd be him on Sunday.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Like we often forget, like Jade Newt was highly rated
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: at a high school. I mean, one of the top
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: pitchers in the country and now he's been slow to
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: develop to maybe that standard, but he's still like last
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: year was his best year and they counted on him.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: If Zach Cowen comes back, he's in a spot to
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: be in the weekend rotation potentially, right.
• 33:23
  Speaker 8: Zach Cowen's a guy I thinks should come back for
• 33:25
  Speaker 8: that reason. Like when he was brought in, everybody kind
• 33:28
  Speaker 8: of thought he was going to be a starter.
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: I did. I was like, oh, you're bringing in this guy.
• 33:32
  Speaker 8: He was really good at Watford, Like you saw him start,
• 33:35
  Speaker 8: He's going to be a starting pitcher and what but.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: He his leverage, he would but he could increase his
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: value if he went into the SEC and started.
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: On the weekends and you know, pitch well.
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: Right, oh yeah, for sure.
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: Have to stitchhead. Are those teams coming loose?
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he was dobing in.
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: Let me let me tell you something like, all right,
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna have to lean on y'all when we're talking
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: about specifics of coming or going, staying, leaving, whatever it is.
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: I enjoyed breaking down the games. Oh yeah, we might have,
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: we might have we might have topped out. Yeah, I'll
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: pushed this engine as far as you can go. Change noel,
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: change a little bit.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: Oh uh, look, if you get a couple of those
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: arms back, for sure, like if you can find a
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: way like I think, I think Connor Ware is somebody
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: that is going to be much better next year than
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: he was this year because there was flashes this year.
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: Cooper william News a freshman the l like he's gonna
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: be big next year.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: Jay Newton and Gavin Gidrey both have a rich shirt
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: year that they can kind of play with. So it
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: gives them a little bit of that leverage that we're
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: talking about back. So I guess, Zach Collen, this one's
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: really got a decision to make. Do I go now
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: or do I try to be an sec starter and
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: knowing that I have what I did out of a
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: bullpen on tape as well, Like Zach Cowen feels like
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: a big one. Feels like a big one if you
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: can get him back, Like if you could find a
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: way to get Ethan Frye, Chris Stanfield and Zach Cowen back.
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: Cookn't with gas there.
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: Don't forget.
• 35:21
  Speaker 8: I mean he'll come back because he was injured all year.
• 35:23
  Speaker 8: But I mean Devin Sheeran was a guy that Jay
• 35:27
  Speaker 8: loved couldn't play this year because of injury.
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: He's only a sophomore. Like, that's a guy that'll be
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: big for you next year.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Of the guys who are projected to be back, of course,
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: you know because of their age, and they're not going
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: to go anwhere because you're playing at LSU. Why would
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: you go anywhere? You got a great core coming back.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: Derek Curiel, Jake Brown, Steven Mylom there.
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: That's gonna be your core.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Three guys offensively, and then like pitchers you mentioned Cooper Williams,
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: Cason Evans, Maverick, Rizzy William Schmidt, somebody that I know
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: as a true freshman. Maybe some people were expecting too much,
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: like think about like think what Kate Anderson didn't pitch
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: a whole lot his freshman year. At the end towards
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: the postseason, he came in gave some great performances. But
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: this is like projecting what he's going to be and
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: don't base it off what he did this year. And
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: there's some good in there. For William Schmidt, for sure,
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: he's got to be able to find the zone a
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: little bit more. But that is somebody that when we
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: talk about highly rated, as highly rated as anybody.
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: I'm very excited to see what he can do as
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: a sophomore.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: So of the arms you know you have coming back,
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: you look loaded, you look you look pretty good right now,
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: better than you did last year at this point.
• 36:42
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, think about how many transfers you had
• 36:43
  Speaker 8: to bring in a year ago. Now you have a foundation,
• 36:47
  Speaker 8: go to the portal and kind of grab what you
• 36:49
  Speaker 8: need right a closer, a middle reliever, but yeah, the
• 36:52
  Speaker 8: core is there.
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, I guess you could say that's what
• 36:59
  Speaker 7: happens when you like you don't have to worry about
• 37:01
  Speaker 7: always happened to replenish and all that.
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: Like you just have guys. Guys want to be here,
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: Guys want to play for LSU, So it's also a plus.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: Now, some of these guys that are projected back, you
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: might lose some of them in the transfer portal. Maybe
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: some of the guys that want a little bit more
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: playing time, like Ash and Larson's gonna be kind of
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: intriguing to me because you counted on him so much
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: last year. I mean by the end of like he
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: was one of your most consistent hitters. Now there was
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: times he came in this year and came up big.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: He had a couple of clutch home runs, like didn't
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: play in the World Series, right, and he it's a
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: player that is very talented. He's not like from Louisiana,
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: so you don't have like that time. Maybe holding him
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: like Ethan Fry is gonna hold on a little bit
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: longer when he wasn't playing because he's from Louisiana.
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: He always dreamed of playing for LSU.
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: Larson's from Kansas so well Highland Park, which is Kansas
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: Missouri line right there.
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: But again not from Louisiana. So that's gonna be an
• 38:00
  Speaker 6: interesting one.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: But you'll lose some But the core guys you have
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: coming back LSU Baseball with Jay Johnson, what he does
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: in the portal.
• 38:09
  Speaker 6: You know, if he can get.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: Through the MLB Draft as well and hit some of
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: these that he hit a year ago, the roster I
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: think right now looks better than it did a year ago.
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: At this time, do they have different The portal windows
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: been open, right, yeah, And which is ridiculous, right because
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: the seasons this season had been over, So how long
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: does the portal win to say open? When does it closed?
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: One of those signings happened.
• 38:34
  Speaker 8: Disposed a while, like they got to commit during either
• 38:39
  Speaker 8: regional or Super regional like that.
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: It did it committed like.
• 38:43
  Speaker 8: They you know, they can't sign you because it's still
• 38:44
  Speaker 8: during the middle of the season, but disposed a while.
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: It's a little weird. It's not like all off season.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: Again, this is a situation where last year, right, everybody
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: was jumping on players in the portal. LSU had a plan.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: They had a plan to go get certain guys from
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: certain places. Some of them are highly rated out of
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: the portal, but some were not, and they paid all
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: for LSU.
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: This is in one of those situations in Jay Johnson,
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: we trust and you got to trust that he is
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: going to get it done in the portal. But he's
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: not going to have to do as much work in
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: the portal this year as he did a year ago.
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: And again, some of these players that we're talking about,
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: we're assuming that they're going to go to the MLB Draft,
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: they're not going to come back because of leverage situations.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: But we've been shot before. None of us had Barr
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: Jones on this team at this time last year. We
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: all thought he was gone.
• 39:40
  Speaker 8: Yeah, speaking of surprises, like we're talking about guys we
• 39:43
  Speaker 8: think are going to leave the comeback.
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: What about a guy that you expect to come back
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: but maybe not? What about Jake Brown?
• 39:50
  Speaker 8: And like I don't want to speculate here or anything,
• 39:52
  Speaker 8: but like, okay, he didn't play a lot when you
• 39:55
  Speaker 8: had a left handed pitcher, right.
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: Does Jay work with him in the offseason.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: Or they will give j Brown whatever number they should
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: they have to get, No, they will. I've heard Jay
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: on and off the record talk about Jake Brown. Whatever
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: the number to get him to stay here would be,
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Jay would find a way.
• 40:14
  Speaker 6: He loves Jake Brown.
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: I mean, I love Jake Brown.
• 40:17
  Speaker 8: I know we had talked about it about like I
• 40:19
  Speaker 8: wanted him in the everyday lineup, but I mean I
• 40:21
  Speaker 8: was just looking at it, like, what if he brings
• 40:23
  Speaker 8: in another guy, it hits left these Jake Brown's looking
• 40:26
  Speaker 8: at it like, do I want to you want to
• 40:29
  Speaker 8: stick around and keep whatever they're giving me?
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: Or do I want to be an everyday player? I
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: mean maybybe that'll be.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: He'll be out there, right, He'll be in every He'll
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: be an everyday player next year. I don't think there's
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: any uh, you know, two ways about that. I think
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: he'll be an everyday player. He's so important to what
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: your future looks like next year. Again, what like, even
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: if it was a situation, Jay would make the situation right.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: So all right, let's take a break more OTB close

• 43:17
  Speaker 2: This has to just feel so good for Jay Johnson.
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: Now they're like the first one. It's a different feeling,
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: Like it's an incredible feeling, but to really like just
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: solidify yourself, like the program has already been solidified.
• 43:31
  Speaker 6: We know it's a standard, we get it.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: But for Jay, like to go to Omaha with another school, right,
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: and you get so close, you get to a championship series,
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: but you can't win the national championship and you still
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: get back to Omaha and you've been very successful and
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: you bet on yourself. There's a lot of people that
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: would run away from the LSU job. Like you can
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: think that everybody would take it. Not everybody's made for
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: this job. There's just not There's too many expectations, right,
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of people that if it's not a
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: national championship, they're disappointed.
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: Now you have all the resources. I'm not gonna act
• 44:09
  Speaker 6: like you don't.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: You have the best environment in college baseball, you have
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: the best fans in college baseball. I get all of that.
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: There's positives, but it's also can you handle the things
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: that come with the job. Even with all the positives.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: A lot of people cannot. Jay ran straight towards it
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: right coming as an outsider from the West Coast and
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: hadn't really been in the South at all, and he
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: comes here and in four years he has two national championships.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: He is the best coach in college baseball. That Look,
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: you can take your Tony v argument and you can
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: go fly a kite. Okay, he's not. Jay Johnson beat
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: the team that everybody told us was the most complete
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: team a thousand times throughout the year. He was four
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: and one against Arkansas this year. Okay, Jay Johnson is
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: that dude. He wanted all the smoke and now he's
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: got two national championships.
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: And it is like that for almost every LSU sport.
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: It's a job that not everybody can handle, not everybody once.
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: Because of that, you have to have to make it.
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: And that's a testament to LSU baseball in general, just
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: the history of it, because before he took the job,
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: they hadn't won the World Series and over decade, right,
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: and so to have that sort of expectation on it
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: coming in with without a championship and over a decade,
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: which is not that long for most.
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: Programs, but we ain't most programs.
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: I was about to say, you're coming there, but he
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: it's I've been so impressed with him, incredibly impressed where
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: I've kind of dove into this thing.
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: And just the mental makeup. And they talked about it yesterday.
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: He didn't have many hobbities, hobbies, his uh any, his
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: golf handicaps pretty high.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: Yes, I mean, look, he said it before. He's like,
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: baseball is my children. That's that that he is all
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: about baseball. He is Nick Saban in a baseball uniform.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: I've said it for two years, continue to say it.
• 46:00
