Everyone says that this junior class sucks. Well…..

Weren’t they freshmen when Johnson got here? Was he unaware that they sucked after watching them for the previous two seasons? If so, then he’s terrible at evaluating even the guys that he sees every single day.

It was the first guy we grabbed in the portal. I didn’t understand it at the time, and understand it even less after 2/3 of a season.

Wasn’t Braswell our best hitter against conference opponents? I know his defense is not good at all but we need the bat. There’s not a replacement close enough to make up for him.

He wasn’t good at SC. That wasn’t a miss that was retarded to get him and put him at SS. The miss was not having a SS after our 3yr in a row league leading error machine at ss was done

I don’t even think it’s that. The most concerning part for me is that our biggest talent “gets” aren’t improving. Kling, Neal, Guidry, Hurd, Pearson, Coleman, Little… why aren’t any of these guys getting better?

Missed on some? I’d say he missed on a lot.

Guys like Jones, Neil and Kling were Overrated because they were big and physical and dominate in high school. Even though Jones has improved a little, he like the others are overpowered with a good SEC pitcher. These guys can’t even hit fastballs let along the curves at this level. Torn the off-season CJJ better look like getting someone who knows how to find players who can be competitive in the SEC or he won’t be around. He must be embarrassed to even show his face after this massive debacle.

No one is happy with his defense but offensively, next to White he’s our best hitter for average in league play.

If he started looking at the damn rankings and was not doing talent eval then yes he has missed. You will always be able to recruit the top of the ranking at LSU baseball period.
I think we have great players. We need better arms though period.
Then they need to just do what they can with that talent when it is here. Simple as that. He would tell you this himself.
