other device all right let’s get rolling um glad to have you board with us here thanks for being there my apologies we’ll get rolling so uh uh let me know what you got in the glasses always I’m GNA open up this Heaven Hill select stock um very very grateful to uh actually morning scer who made the trip up to uh The Bourbon Trail and was very very kind enough to score this and uh I guess scored an extra and let me buy it from him so um fired up for that huh do you see it well I was trying to share it well how do you change that I know that stinks I don’t really like Facebook very much but I’m trying to do something that might be actually beneficial uh what a way I gotta get rolling on the show I just want to have Facebook we’ll just be YouTube today which is fine with me all right I mean we’re live on Facebook but I so I was trying to share it to my page but my page can’t see the the post for some reason which is just weird all right that’s the last time I’m going to say that and we’re going to move on and get rolling with the show and not worry so much about whether or not anyone can see this so whatever okay um all right so LSU lands another uh transfer commitment today a name that is familiar uh wford pitcher Zack Cohen commits to LSU visited uh LS sh and uh posted on his Instagram that he had committed at pictures with his family here Cohen’s interesting um if you remember we kind of got to know or know of Zack Cohen before the regional because he um he he was their Friday night guy he threw 110 Innings this year uh a 335 er24 strikeouts 29 walk something thereabouts really good strikeout to walk ratio strike thrower and Jay Johnson raved about Zack Cohen before the regional we all thought that we were going to see Gage jump Zack Cohen on that Friday of the regional and as it turns out they held Zack Cohen because he had he’d been used twice in their in their conference tournament and they didn’t feel good about bringing him back on short rest so LSU didn’t see Zach K but when they were leading in the eighth he was getting ready and then LSU tied the game then obviously won it in the ninth but he was getting warm in the bullpen to go potentially close that game so J Jay Johnson went from scouting Zack Cohen to playing to think he was going to play against him to recruiting him to then now um coaching him so um I know I think I one of the first comments I read as I kind of popped up here was um do we think um do we think Zack Cohen might be a a Friday night guy for lso no I I don’t think so I think look you still got Chase Shores coming back off of Tommy John and I think uh if Chase Shores is healthy that’s your Friday guy and then you got Kate Anderson as well back for his sophomore year who should factor into the rotation and then you have Griffin Herring coming back most likely we’ll see what happens with the draft Herring will come back and if he comes back he’s vying to be a starter that’s why he would come back um and then you bring in a guy like like Zack Cohen and then the other guy is uh Zack root who’s a lefty from East Carolina um the two premier players in the portal right now are Gavin kilum the short stop from Louisville who LSU is in the mix for and I think you will if LSU gets him I think you’ll know that early next week but we’ll see and then uh Zack root who’s a lefty just finished up his freshman season at East Carolina I think similarly if LSU has good news you’ll probably expect something early next week so um o a lot of Oak and leather but syrupy as well like an odd syrupy texture long bold finish that’s very good Heaven Hill select stock uh for I think this for 100 Proof this is bold for H 100 Proof um okay let’s say some good morning or not good mornings good evening Tain what’s up Randall what’s going on Damon what’s up Jeremy courland supposed to be next week seeing Thunder supposed to be what next week courland Jeremy what up uh Robbie sure Matt has his poor for the night chosen but I suggest ec18 I love Elijah Craig 18 Robbie um you know I think maybe I had that last week or two weeks ago whenever we did the show I love Elijah Craig 18 it’s one my favorite pors but I am having Heaven Hill select stock if you weren’t here in the open mentioned it uh a listener who may pop on here and if he wants to be named he can name himself but uh went up to the Bourbon Trail and um scored an extra bottle of that was kind enough to um uh to sell me the extra one so very cool of him oh by the way the other thing Paul maner uh of course we can talk about this taking the South Carolina job he gave an interview to K Riley over at The Advocate full disclosure I did text Paul maner to congratulate him and I have not heard back yet uh I can imagine he’s been inundated but um Paul maner said Point Blank uh to K Riley The Advocate like he didn’t think he was done coaching the fire still burned and and I mean I think we’re probably at a point where we can all talk about this openly now because he’s back in coaching like that was a forced retirement Paul manary didn’t want to leave but I’ll continue to say two things can be simultaneously true Paul maner did an amazing job at LSU for 15 years he went to Omaha five times won a national title was a national runnerup six consecutive years was a national seed with that resume anywhere else anywhere else they’re building a statue and you’re the greatest coach in the history of their program he just happens to be at the place where the greatest coach ever coached and you know um so I understand like expectations are greater and it was time those two things they’re not mutually exclusive they can both be true maner had a great run and it was time but that doesn’t mean he was ready to be done and the fact that he flirted with Notre Dame in Miami the last two years tells you that as well but I mean that’s that’s what it was and so he had an opportunity to get back in the SEC they’re going to pay him a million dollars a year and you know Ray Tanner who was a great coach in his own right National Championship winning coaches the ad who give him the resources he needs I presume and we’ll see how he does with it uh let’s see what’s the Indiana State kid same first baseman you mentioned prior no so LSU has a commitment from [Music] um uh what up Marty Moonbeam um LSU has a commitment from Luis Hernandez hang I’ll tell you right now hang on so LSU has a commitment from Luis Hernandez and he is a he’s a 5050 D maybe maybe more like 6040 coming to school but Luis Hernandez Indiana State hit 360 last year 23 bombs um first base catcher DH think think trinsky um the other uh the other player that’s in the portal from Indiana state is um Randall Diaz Who is the shortstop so as best as I can gather if LSU does not get Gavin killan from uh from Louisville then Diaz Randall Diaz would be their next their next choice at Short which likely tells you also that brazwell they’re expecting brazwell to be picked into sign chance my son and iron gston a new portal Edition today Zack Cohen was was the one so um you know you’ve got um we by the way we had a really good convo yesterday if you missed it with um uh with Chandler dorsy the south Florida uh reliever had a really good convo with Chandler dorsy um so they’ve got dorsy who likely comes in and as your closer next year he can touch 97 he was a closer this past year for South Florida um you got Zack Cohen who likely is going to buy for a spot in the rotation and then you’ve got uh Luis Hernandez committed there as well who’s a going to be a power bat that likely can be that Hayden trinsky role right catch first base DH that that sort of that sort of player Lance what’s going on man what’s up scone do we need to worry about pulmanary poaching any staffers or coaches to USC no um and listen I do think the Terry Rooney news Terry Rooney going with maner that hurts LSU because you know Jay it’s kind of like what Sabin was doing all those years where he would he he’d bring on really good you know coaches to be on to be uh analysts right and then whenever somebody left he’d promote an analyst to an onfield job that was kind of the thought there with Terry Rooney Rooney is a great recruiter he was a pitch he Rooney was with maner at Notre Dame and Then followed maner here and was hero 708 then he became the head coach at Central Florida in ‘ 09 so Rooney missed the 09 championship and he was at Central Florida for a long time bounced around but but Terry Rooney is a guy that um would would have been a full-time staffer if had somebody on this staff left so um and he’s a good coach man that that one that one stings but I don’t think so I think the more interesting thing is do any of the current portal guys from LSU go to South Carolina I’m G tell you the one to keep an eye on is Paxton cing and I don’t know that’s a great idea for Paxton King but Paxton cling to South Carolina is something that I could very much see happening um gets him closer to home in Pennsylvania and remember Paul maner puts a premium on defense um I’ve shared the example so many times with y’all but remember Andrew Stevenson Stevenson as a freshman hit like 189 and was the everyday center fielder because it was like having two dudes in center field same with Paxton cing he’s an elite defender in the Outfield and you know my guess is that maner is going to look at cing and say I can bat that guy ninth put him you eighth or ninth put him in center and if anything he gives me offensively is is is lanap you know Ethan Petri tweeted um essentially an affirmation that he’s staying in Columbia at South Carolina so um anyway we shall see um I’m curious if anybody can see but I’m not seeing it either that I wanted to see you live I want to I went to your opened up your current one and there was like dots and I press three dots and it said like at the bottom it said notify me when my goes live and then I did that and then I went to Notifications it said eight minutes ago so show past like I’m I’m it’s I mean this is but this is from my page though I don’t know if it’s going to work from the page um let’s see Heather said you got any blands I do have plenty of blands back there that’s blands right there uh I got some in the cabinet down there too Dale what’s the deal with kelen Moses um nothing Dale I mean listen keelan’s taking a visit to A&M and I suspect he will take his visits and there’s nothing wrong with a guy in high school who gets five huh who gets did it pop up did you do it from my you you you what whatever Facebook makes things very complicated um anyway no I don’t ever blame a kid who gets five all expense paid visits to a college to go see all the colleges that are out there and programs and the other thing to Dale is in the transfer portal era when there has never been uh less stability in college football go explore your options and if not for this year for what could happen at some point down the road so I have no problem with Kela Moses or anybody taking all their visits Joey b19 how big of an advantage is the Portal game to not still be playing in the postseason obviously a given would be rather still playing yeah that’s a that’s a very fair question man because I will tell you um well first of all it didn’t hurt LSU last year right LSU won the national championship and they still landed Gage jump and Luke hullman brazwell I mean we could say if you know if that was a hit or not I mean brazwell played played well this year certainly in conference play but you had a fine transfer class last year um despite playing you know all the way through the College World Series but I will also tell you that the that week last week after LSU lost Jay was in a different city like every day it was like five cities in six days seeing seeing players so it definitely gives you that advantage uh Cody good evening from an AR’s comments you seem to imply Woodward pushed him to retire am I reading into things too much no you’re not I mean that it’s it’s O Cody I think it’s odd to me that and listen every time I’m gonna talk about this I have to throw these caveats like I’m gonna say the same thing I said three years ago when Paul moner retired that I think the world of Coach both personally and professionally I think he did a great job here um he deserves to be revered I think at near the end he caught a lot of unnecessary flak from fans who didn’t appreciate the time that the the the consistency he brought for 15 years but I also understand that it was time for a new voice and and it was right Jay Johnson won a championship in year 2 like it was time and that’s okay but that also doesn’t mean pulmanary was ready to retire and every single and you the quote he gave K Riley in the article in the advoc he talked about the fire in his belly every opening day Paul maner when he would go for his first press conference before opening day he would sound like a little kid on opening day just awed by by all of the Majesty of opening day all of what the thing that makes everybody wax poetic and romant R Mantic about baseball that was Paul maner and it never left him so I am not surprised at all and especially considering he considered the Notre Dame in Miami jobs so I did not think Paul manary was going to play golf forever it was really just a matter of what opportunity would come and he got one in the SEC and he took it and I don’t blame him at all and I wish him well except whenever he plays except when who plays LSU uh trivia what up um how Mavs are different home their un match the court Connor if Cohen is our Sunday guy I like us I agree and what if coh your midweek guy like what if you go what if you end up going Shores Anderson Herring could uh Dustin speaking of Erica definitely I’ll kicked your coverage there thank you duson see I think that’s a that’s a that’s a compliment uh it just means that you have many many many more things going for you and that was at a point in my life when I was fraking broke I did have hair though a gunner have an elic cig Barrel proof tonight wishing it was football season still plan to use perk inside don’t understand why they don’t use him like Michael Parsons well the biggest difference um Gunner is and congratulations again on the nuptials um here’s the biggest difference Micah parsons’s is listed at 635 245 Harold Perkins is 6122 so 2 and a half inches and about 25 pounds that’s the difference um when you’re taking on big offensive tackles they’re not the same um yeah they’re talking about moving Perkins inside and I think we’ll see him there and I think we’ll see him on the edge I think we’ll see him in the slot I think we’re going see him do a lot of different things in this defense it’s going to be fascinating to watch uh laye I need a hat would love to get everybody a hat um my understanding is Tero went and picked up another batch of hats yesterday and uh unfortunately the Tigers screwed up screwed it up for us man we were going to have a hat party for the super regionals but um they blew a lead in the ninth man but we will have a hat party soon to make sure everybody gets a parish hat so um we are brought to you by Parish Construction and Roofing if you’re there on YouTube I do have Parish pinned in the YouTube chat so if you need a roof for pair replacement we’d love to give you that free no obligation Roofing inspection all the info is scrolling on the bottom for Paris this is our um our new Venture um so commercial residential repairs Replacements Parish there’s the number right there same number as we had before in the website Aaron Tony good evening Zachary evening was down in lefit Monday stumbled upon discount Depot number three liquor store got a blands for $60 okay any other recommendations I’ll be down that way uh if they have Blandon I would ask about the rest of the match Mash Bill too I would ask if they have Elmer T Lee if they have a Rock Hill Farms if they have Hancock Reserve those are the other in the mash Bild too from um from Buffalo Trace I would ask them if they have any of those shit’s not Bland uh Joseph scone tell us about all your baseball inside tips and they got more you’re holding out um I don’t know Joseph I’ve had a really good run man uh I did give you the exact Regional pairings for LSU um uh I have nailed everything in the portal uh I guess he’s joking because this morning I read a text on morning scone uh about uh what was the kid’s name it was the other wford pitcher so the person who text to me and I read the text live on morning scone and that’s my bad I shouldn’t have done it I should have I should have eded it before I read it that’s I’ll completely wear that um but person was right Alice you got a commitment from a wford pitcher was just the wrong wford pitcher um it was um oh the the tall freshman Lefty anyway that that’s what he’s talking about I’ll wear it I I read the text on it’s my fault like I read the text but by the way the person who sent me that text is the same person that told me the exact pairing Lis you had that they’d be a two seed in Chapel Hill facing three seed wford and they’d be paired with with Tucson so it’s just my fault I mean I I read the text I I’ll wear it I read the text my fault James Dean what’s going on kjun y when are you and Tero gonna pick random blueberries again never Richard hoer Johnny drum okay Shelby where’s muso when you need him Randall Dylan little Whistle Pig yes sir oh I am really far behind comments Thomas good evening see Ryan uh I’m I’m good with it Ryan I it’s my fault I I read I read the text on morning scone I shouldn’t have read it I should have waited and vetted it um but there were other reports out there as well like I Googled it saw the reports I was like okay went with it and I shouldn’t have that’s my fault I’ll own it um James Charles what’s your thoughts on Coach Jay saying baseball is becoming a year-by-year building team he’s right it is because like in a in a pre- portal era like here’s a good example is Derrick Mitchell this guy just sign with LSU is a freshman this year he’s a switch-hitting outfielder who they are very high on very athletic and has a a really good future by his third year he may be an awesome college baseball player but is he just going to sit and wait for two years in a past era yes in this era doesn’t have to so he doesn’t sniff the field as a freshman he goes somewhere where he’s going to play and especially when you look next year and you go Jake Brown Josh Pearson Ashton Larson where are you gonna play you know I get it all right Stefan see you man Shane Matt what position you think JJ needs to nail on the portal um short stop and again Gavin killan is the one guy who’s the biggest name in the portal and they’re after him but everybody is but [Music] um LSU may have an opportunity to make an in-person pitch coming very soon if you catch my drift um and I would love to see him get another arm like I I’ll put you this way if they if they get G Gavin killan from Louisville the shortstop and if they get um Zack root the Lefty from East Carolina everything else is lanap you have a weekend arm that a lefty weekend arm and you’re starting short stop and then you’ve also already got um Luis Hernandez who’s a power bat you’re going to have to sweat up the draft with him um they’re assuming Blaze prester the juko will be here who might end up being your starting catcher um you know he could he’s another guy that be catcher DH first base so and your Outfield set um but again short and and another pitcher Ryan what’s up dude Mr Big nearly came in ninth inning on Friday Corey what’s your overall feeling about LSU football can they realistically make big improvements on defense still be able to score enough to make a legit run so Cory I think so um I think the offense has plenty of talent you have a fourth year quarterback and a great offensive line and a bunch of skill guys at receiver tight end a running back like that has all the makings of being a really good offense as long as you protect the football which I think they will I don’t think they’re going to be the number one offense in college football like they were last year but I think they’ll be plenty good enough to beat anybody they play the question is if the defense can be good enough such that when you go score 48 against old miss you don’t lose 55 48 I mean LSU’s defense allowed an average of 48 points a game in their losses last year like cut that number in half give up 24 which ain’t good ain’t EXC me Ain great but it’s dramatically better than you were last year give up that and you got a shot to win every game you play Mac my son works in it for LSU Athletics said pulmanary was nice to everyone going to miss seeing him at the golf team’s driving range pulmanary was great I mean you’re G to be hard pressed to find anybody that says anything now listen there are players that played for pulmanary that will say some negative things and I I always compare coaches like teachers with with respect to this it’s like if you’re a teacher and you teach for 40 years and you have a different crop of a hundred students every year and so you’ve taught thousands of students like you’ll be able to find ones that didn’t like you they didn’t like your style they didn’t like your approach they thought you were mean to whatever you clashed same with coaches so you can find players who played for pulmonary at LSU that will say negative things he cut them was hard on them whatever um but the flip side of it is you’ll find multiples more that will say the good things and uh and I’m in that number I’ve had so many experiences with Paul not just covering all 15 of his teams at LSU but personal experiences away from baseball with him um and I’ve shared a lot of them you know over the past couple of days but he’s a genuinely good man and I I wish him well I do tiger diver TK a lot of people freaking out about the portal Jay is the best recruiter in the country here’s the thing for those freaking out about the portal actually LED AFR with this on Tuesday so you’ve lost nine guys in the portal what have you lost like let’s let’s look at what you’ve lost it’s almost like football you lose 25 you gain nine but your net is a positive because you lost a bunch of depth guys that weren’t playing and you gain guys you’re going to count on that’s essentially The Exchange and it’s similar here um I cam Johnson and Aiden Moffett are Elite armed talents both guys should be pitching in professional ball right now both guys should have taken seven figures and signed because of this reason because whenever you sign and you go into the miners it doesn’t matter if you walk five straight guys the next time it’s your turn to pitch they’re going to put you out there because the objective isn’t to win Minor League games the objective is to get you ready to go play in the major leagues in college the objective is to win college baseball games and yes you want to develop guys for the pros and all that stuff and that’s a part of it that’s how you’re going to get Elite Talent is development and all that sort of stuff but your object the reason 10,000 people go to LSU baseball games isn’t to watch guys developed to go win at the next level it’s to watch the Tigers win and that’s the difference so if you’re cam Johnson and Aid mofet and you can’t throw strikes it doesn’t matter that you’re 98 from the left side you can’t throw strikes and you’re not going to help the team win so you don’t pitch that’s why those guys generally with few exceptions should sign and go pro um it sucks to lose them and I hope they don’t go to an SEC team find themselves then come back and beat you but aside from that I mean Sam Dutton was a up 10 down 10 guy I mean Paxton King had become your fourth or fifth outfielder um and y’all know I think Paxton’s great defensively he was great he is great defensively just didn’t hit for this team um Zeb rutle didn’t play Austin rolic didn’t play Derek Mitchell didn’t play although I’m EXC I’m high on him what he could be um you see what I mean like Michael buckham didn’t didn’t pitch so what did you L you lost a bunch of guys but what did you lose you know I think that’s that’s the way you kind of have to look at it so that’s just the nature of how college sports is going to be today you’re going to lose a lot of numbers I mean in the football portal Ellis you lost 25 guys they gained nine but their net was a positive because you lost a bunch of depth pieces and guys didn’t play and you gained talented people that you Cherry Picked and you think are going to impact you this year on Saturdays Saturday guy Anderson on Sunday maybe maybe Anderson from the left side man give him another year of development Greg T what’s going on paused episode two The Ultimate Fighter my notification of Night Cap there you go babe I love it Greg thanks for being there man I think that’s the Greg that I was FaceTiming with uh Saturday night when I ran into his buddies downtown Bo Texas fans talking like they’re gonna get Jay meanwhile he’s back to grinding the portal so Jay Johnson was asked this week when he met with reporters of Texas reached out and he said no and um that wasn’t exactly true uh maybe how those calls come in give him plausible deniability but Texas absolutely reached out uh Texas kicked the tires on four coaches um and it’s the coaches that you would call and make them tell you no schl Nagel at A&M and Chris Delan who’s the ad at A&M uh was the ad at TCU who hired schlagle at TCU so Schlagel for Eric bage or bakic who’s the head coach of Clemson who remember was at Michigan who got Michigan into the championship series and then Jay Johnson and all four said no because there was no re and I was even told Texas was offering $2 and a half million doll a year so Jay after they won the national championship last year got a seven-year deal worth 12 a half million 1255 which averaged out to 178 per year Texas was offering 25 and they all said no because all of them are in a better situation now than Texas so I mean three teams are in the College World Series or two are in the College World Series one was a national seed and LSU won the National Championship a year ago so it I mean I get Texas is gonna shoot your shot and make him tell you no but they all said no and and Jay’s committed and he’s back out recruiting he’s going to win more titles at LSU but I’ll tell you if I mean file this away to the guy that was laughing about me earlier I mean although been right on everything I mean I’ll own it I I read a text on morning SC today before I’ve edited I should have edited I didn’t I read the text it’s my fault I didn’t I didn’t like go breaking news on social media or WR I mean but I shouldn’t have read my fault I’m owning it but um the Oregon coach um Oregon baseball coach Mark wasowski that’s what they’re going to they’re they want to do a fire hire they don’t want to fire and have long search they’re doing the search and so they would fire David Pierce and hire wasikowski now maybe after wasikowski let his his reliever walk in four straight guys on Saturday maybe they were like maybe not but um anyway that was the name I was told would be next Dustin maner may have been a nice guy but the dude has a lot of favorite teams especially those higher bids apparently I don’t know what that means Aaron Heather James Cade Woods what happened to him never got healthy Cade woods with the Alabama transfer just never got healthy this year hopefully he’s healthy next year it’d be great to see him throw a little bit Richard seems like a lot of optimism right now with the Saints I’ve been burned by the Saints the last two years I thought after Camp we’d win 11 plus games what are the reasons it could be better it’s not going to be better Richard and if you were believing last year they were going to win 11 games that’s on you brother um I spent all of last off season looking at every single piece both subjective an objective from quarterback rankings tier rankings Vegas odds power ranking everything and everything came back with Carr is a at best midlevel quarterback third tier quarterback the Saints is a 500 football team Dennis Allen’s one of the worst coaches in the league and and everybody called me a hater I was just a hater you’re a hater you hate you hate car you hate Allen Hater Hater Hater I was right I’m not hating I’m just being honest and there’s no reason to think it’s going to be better until they get rid of Dennis Allen and Derek Carr because those two in combination or individually are not winning anything uh sativa and a capucino all right Cameron uh TK Ronnie duga what up Ronnie Jesse Brad so Wicker’s likely a bullpen guy then transition to a starter by his junior year so Brad remember wicker is not the guy they got Camden wicker is not the guy they got they got Um Zack Cohen is the guy they got from uh from wford um GB said bring back scon so GB actually had a conversation yesterday literally yesterday so the only way we’ll do scone and te again is if it’s if it’s sponsored I mean it’s it has to make sense if we’re going to leave our families and do a show it has to make sense for us to do that financially like our time has to be worth something and so it was a great deal we had at Oliver Twist and we were glad to do that would have done it forever um I don’t need to bore you with all the details but um they had Oliver Twist put a pause on it and so we stopped doing the show and but someone approached us literally yesterday about resuming scone and T and that may come back um in the fall so we’ll keep you posted is the smoke Laval statue Done Yet smoke does not deserve a statue um uh let’s see Jesse are you going to get coach Maneri on AFR I I mentioned a bit ago I did text coach yesterday um just sort of like a congratulations and a thank you for everything and a good luck and he hasn’t replied yet but I also understand that he’s probably gotten 110 bajillion text messages in the last 48 hours so I’ll when when the dust settles a bit I’ll call him and um and yes I’m certain we’ll get him on um Darren said Matt love the Wednesday night show thank you Darren appreciate you for being there I’d appreciate even more if y’all would give us a shout at Parish Construction and Roofing Parish built.com we got the uh the web ended in the YouTube chat so y’all do me a solid if you you or someone you know uh needs a roof repair replacement we love to give you that free no obligation Roofing inspection commercial residential Parish built.com Parish built.com Dustin scor a bottle of 1792 bottle and bond 1792 bottle and bond um which is the the the yellow uh label um I think they started that release uh in 2020 around covid and I drank a lot of 1792 bottle and bond during covid a lot it’s a very it’s an excellent pour that’s that’s 1792 bottle in bond is a case in point why I tell people all the time when they sayy what’s a good 70800 bottle that I could buy I’m like don’t buy that if you don’t know don’t buy it because you it won’t matter and you can find something for $35 or 40 bucks like 1792 bottle and bond that is a fantastic sipper if brazwell doesn’t go and you L the short stop do you move one to third Cody I think Bradwell is going to go um I think I think Bradwell is going to go remember if he comes back he loses his leverage um and I think LSU is going to be able to upgrade at the position brazell’s bat was good conference play but defensively he led the league in shorts I I actually I need to check to see I keep saying I need to check to see if he finished the season leading the the league in um in errors but um he he had a rough go uh defensively for a bulk of this season so um let’s see uh let’s see here we go brazwell did leave the league brazwell had 13 errors which led the SEC this year Dean Curley and Drew Culbertson each had 12 so brazwell did lead the SEC with 13 errors so I mean you led the leue in errors man uh let’s see clling would be a massive offensive drop off from the previous center fielder in Columbia I get it doesn’t matter courand different coach Paulman values defense remember there was a point at LSU where he had three center fielders in his Outfield when he had Mark leair Andrew Stevenson and Jake fry he had three center fielders in the Outfield he wanted a premium defensive Outfield and that would not surprise I’m just telling you say what you want I laughed at me but then just come back if that happens um let’s see ah Shelby did you bring the shoes home that Michael gave you did not uh they’re they’re up in my office at work and I’m going to put them on the set each day so big sh shout out to Michael Anderson and uh my friends over at sunshine your hometown John de dealer in Louisiana they had some custom Jordans made for me uh Michael Michael Anderson did the customs and sunshine commissioned them and they gave them to me yesterday on air which were awesome I do uh I need to take some pictures of them and post the pictures or a video of them but um they’re awesome uh let’s see is Coach Jay waiting on guys in the College World Series to hit the portal um not that I’m aware of Jude it’s not to say if a player goes into the portal they won’t go after him but sometimes it’s it’s like the burden hand right I like I know we had this conversation last year so last year they took Michael Braswell early this guy had SEC experience they saw upside good athlete it’s shown at times he could hit so they take brazwell later Luke Hill went in the portal and I don’t care what anybody says Luke Hill’s from Baton Rouge and he wanted to come to LSU Luke Hill went Luke Hill went with Todd Graves to the College World Series last year in Omaha as a player at Arizona State he went as an LSU fan at the College World Series he wanted to come to LSU but LSU had already taken brazwell so here’s the here’s the conundrum for coaches in this era so you take a guy and then a better guy gets in the portal what do you say to your first guy sorry well okay you do that then now every coach can negative recruit you every time you go after a guy next year you and another school are going after why would you go to him because if you go there as soon as someone better hits the portal he’s gonna he’s going to dump you can’t do it so it’s a it’s the burden hand effect it just so happens that like this year with Gavin killan from Louisville he’s the best player in the portal and LSU is very much in the mix for him I hope they get him I don’t know if they can close Jay’s the best at it we’ll see but the two guys I’m telling you if they get Gavin killan from Louisville and Zack root from East Carolina those would be the two best players in the portal and everything else would feel like lanap Jeremy said you’re not live on Facebook didn’t get a notification that you went live only a text message from YouTube so Jeremy I am live on Facebook I’m just live on my Facebook profile not my page it’s a long story but effectively the way Facebook handles their monetization is different for Pages versus profiles and so I’m on my Matt musona profile not my page so if you go to my uh like look I’ll show you it’s it’s this it’s that me and Erica in New York is the photo there and you can see like I’m live I’m live so the problem is I was trying to share this let me see if that helps maybe if I share it I don’t know if I just shared it to everybody like I was trying to share this that feed to my page so everybody who follows my page I know this is confusing would see that but whenever I go to my page and search for my profile it doesn’t come up and I don’t know why that’s really annoying I probably have some setting some privacy setting to where it’s not letting it show up which is very very very annoying to me um Brad what’s up Cody good evening is jayen on Gavin cash the first baseman at Texas Tech um I have not heard that that they are Cody um again they I think you know you’ve got Luis Hernandez committed who again is a let’s call it a 6040 he shows up at at school 40% he signs but a guy who had you know 360 last year to Indiana state with 23 bombs he’s a first base catcher DH guy and then you got Blaze prer as well who can catch DH probably play some first also um and another one to watch out of the freshman class is Aron Bey um Jacob Aron Bey um um what’s his name is Kade Kade AR Bey so Kade Aron Bey is a so it’s a r r a m b d Kade Aron Bey he’s one of the top catchers in the country in this class um big kid 63210 out of a t tumball which is the Houston area he’s a catcher third baseman but he’s a catcher at this level and he can hit so that’s another guy that you’re hoping passes on the draft and shows up on campus Because if he does that’s a really big get for for Jay Johnson and that would help that whole process again they could platoon a catcher and get guys rest and play a lot of guys and hit and all that sort of stuff and with the portal in nil how much time does that leave head coaches to coach how much are they involved with day-to-day coaching game plan especially football and baseball well football especially at major programs man got so many resources like know you have a GM you have you know recruiting coordinators you have recruiting support staff that are constantly looking at the portal that are putting together recruiting um decks and pitches and events and all that sort of stuff so I mean you have resources to make sure the head coach isn’t the one doing the whole thing the like the interesting thing with Paul maner is Paul wasn’t the recruiter man like Nolan Kane recruited for Paul and before that it was Andy uh who recruited I mean and before that it was Terry Rooney like Paul’s not the recruiter um he would see guys when he get to campus he’s not the guy going to the Showcase events and all that stuff Nolan Kane did that um so it’s interesting you know going going up to South Carolina like he needs someone like Terry Rooney um you [Laughter] know Trey Day just from my own peace of mind you do know that uh Brian Den stadium is Alabama’s home football field and Brian Dene is the actor that played Tommy’s father and Tom yeah I get it yeah I mean one is like it’s the hyphenated name of the former coach and the former president of the university and the other is an actor I get it yeah Brian Den Stadium it is Trey it is astonishing to me I mean I am quite literally for someone who is so grammar Centric and so grammar focused like you know this I have a problem I have a disease where I can’t see something misspelled or hear somebody mispronounce a word or use improper um context without pointing it out like I literally literally in the most literal sense of the word I literally on my blind date with my now wife told her on our blind date how much it bothered me when people misuse the word irony do you honestly think I don’t know the name of the stadium and it FL it astonishes me how many LSU fans don’t understand that I am excuse me I’m about to curse so if a cursing offends you 321 that I am [ __ ] with Alabama fans hard when I do that and so many of you do not get it yes I know the name of the stadium yes I do and I am [ __ ] with Alabama fans so shut up let me have my fun why is it that so many of you do not get that I cover sports for God’s sakes as a college student I went to every single LSU football game for four years home and away do you honestly think I don’t know the name of the damn Stadium I’m just stunned stunned by the number of people that don’t get it it’s not everybody I would say 99% of people get it but the 1% is still 1% too many anyway uh Christopher fry my guy thanks for giving us up to dat news and good views thank you bro appreciate you for being there um my Cranium is too huge for the snap hats uh hopeful libertarian took until last night for your bamz burning AFR episode to show up my suggest videos there hey there look there are a ton ton ton ton ton ton ton ton ton okay not a ton that was hyperbole um there are a lot of bam is burning videos by this point Joseph Lee not joking feel like you know who else is committing next so Joseph Lee I don’t know who’s committing next but I do know who they’re after who they’re competing with for those players and I’ve told you as much as I can possibly say Gavin Kellan Zack root they get those two guys do back flips because you got probably the two best guys in the portal you got a weekend arm from the left side and you got the best the best overall player like Gavin Kellan right now is the number 17 overall Prospect in the draft for 2025 like get those two guys and we can all take a big exhale next week and I’m talking like it’s if if they get them you will probably know early next week you get my drift you get my drift good question Eric if you can only pick one retain cam Johnson or acquired Zack Cohen retain cam upside and I don’t know that Cohen is an SEC caliber pitcher who did this on AFR today and here’s here’s like my one legit and he may be awesome like it may go come to pass that cam Johnson never figures it out and Zack Cohen becomes a stud for you next year and I would love that not for cam but but for Zack for LSU but here’s here’s here’s the fair point so Zach Cohen 110 Innings pitched 124 strikeouts 9 walks really really good year Friday night guy for wford in the socon here’s the problem these are the teams he pitched against Bucknell Fairley Dickinson forom Lafayette Charleston Citadel VMI Greensboro FIU Mercer Western Carolina Gardner web ETSU Samford The Citadel Samford again Long Island not one power five opponent I have no idea what he’ll look like when he tries to throw against the SEC Kate Anderson looked like I was say Randy Johnson I was thinking of a good left-handed pitcher not Randy Johnson but Kate Anderson looked awesome in the pre-conference in the midweek yeah and then whenever he got into conference play he couldn’t get SEC hitters out so I don’t know what Zack Cohen is going to look like against SEC hitters I hope he’s awesome but I don’t know it’s an unknown all right I’ll be right back e okay um why don’t they give gri a shot at shortstop um hasn’t played there in two years hasn’t taken a competitive at bat in two years um and the guy you’re going after in the portal is literally the best guy in the portal is literally the best player in the portal so but I’ll tell you this I had I had a major league Scout tell me that e he would offer Gavin gidry six figures low six figures with six figures this year to sign as a short stop because even though he hasn’t played it in college saw him do it in high school and you draft on potential you drop prospects and says he’d give him a shot in the miners to go to go play uh smash the like button if you would subscribe to the channel Robert pots Matt think we striving baseball recruiting battles in Louisiana with maner and South Carolina like sain in miles for years maybe Robert but man it’s not really Apples to Apples um Nick was a better Coach than Les that’s not even debatable Alabama had a ton of tradition I’m not saying South Carolina doesn’t but man in this state in baseball it’s really hard to get the blue chip guys to leave man just rare that it happens not saying it doesn’t it’s rare because all these kids grow up want to play for LSU man we have to make sure freshmen get action to keep them invested so triple D that’s one of the problems LSU had this year is they did I so I’m not talking about the guys leaving I mean one of the problems Ellis you had on the field early this year was that was that Jay it would have been better for here’s a perfect example for you I’m G to give you the best example for LSU football excuse me for LSU baseball in 2024 they would have this team would have benefited more from will helmer’s getting more Innings clearly right but when you have Cam Johnson are you going to give it to the senior who probably doesn’t have a baseball future or the Freshman Lefty who throws 98 that you need to get Innings who who are you going to put on the mound one has great upside one probably helps you more now but one has more upside that’s that’s the difference in college baseball right now uh D Rocky what’s good Lane oh sorry read that one Bo that’s what midweek matchups are four got guys who can’t find the Zone leave um I’m in Birmingham so uh TR Christopher fry talent wise compared to the last five years where do you see the squad comparison incomplete man uh don’t know I got to see how they finish the portal they’re not done I mean if they go get root and Kellan you’re you’re right back in the mix Greg T who plays third um wouldn’t be surprised if they got a third baseman out of the portal um I think you have a real again depending on who you get a real scenario where like milm and cerak could be involved and either could play one spot if you get killing at Short now if you don’t get killing it short now you’re in a little bit of a pickle uh because you need to go get another infielder Matt thoughts on Woodford Reserve dublo it’s a good poor chip um I’ll tell you my brother-in-law loves Woodford Double Oak it’s like that’s his go-to all the time not my favorite I just don’t love Woodford um little too oky for me but um but it’s a it’s a really good por that’ll that’s very popular just everybody’s got different tastes uh LS look out for the LSU Terriers next year Damon younger brother has Down syndrome went to the National Special Olympics very cool got to throw out a pitch on Friday after the game pulmanary found just took the whole family for a tour great man that’s awesome glad to hear that Damon Paul’s a great dude man he really is a great man I mean I’ve told told yall stories before but like I’ve been to charity events with Paul where I mean he’s there early and stays to the very end where a lot of charity events the dignitaries come late leave early they come in the side door say their Hells and Escape out the side door to get out of their as soon as they can not Paul and Karen they’re there you know last time I saw a coach was I was having lunch at Phils um he and Karen were just sitting in a booth to the side having lunch went up gave him a hug chatted for a little bit um talked to him for a long time at the uh Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame did a Night of Champions a couple months back where they had skip Paul Jay Mike biano Ro that was when Roger Clemens was Town Clemens and then uh Dylan Cruz Ben McDonald and I moderated the panel on stage got talk to coach for a good while there um we had dinner um I I bid on a at a at a an auction a live auction of items it was dinner with coach and Karen at man was like a wine dinner for like 10 with coach and Karen um so my dad came my I got to bring my dad my brother who went to Notre Dame who who’s at in South bent when when moner was the head coach at Notre Dame my godparents who were LSU baseball Fanatics my little nephew Eli’s you 13 about to be 14 and big big baseball kid his dad James came I mean we had an awesome night you know it was so gracious and told stories all night and had a great me just you know I just think the world I just think the world of of the man and he’s a great baseball coach who won a ton here um it’s just that he’s he was at a place where the expectation isn’t get to Omaha it’s win in Omaha and it’s never been harder to do that than it is now and that dude was so consistent got you there five times won one of them runner up another time um I mean my God look at guys’s like you know blanking a mike um [ __ ] Martin Mike Mike Martin Florida State I mean has anybody had more CWS appearances in Florida State and they’ve never won it I mean it’s hard to win when you get there but anyway let’s see Gulf South since Mr 19 And1 when hitting lead off is transferring how will LS be able to replace a legend like that when they play directional State you next season sorry I had to mess with you on that no go south look man and I told you that listen I have been I have been spoton oh God I’m 30 minutes behind on comments oh my God sorry y’all um I I have told y’all like point blank what everybody on this roster was likely to do told you Cam Johnson was a transfer risk told you clling told you Herring is a draft risk and I’m telling you they ain’t done cuz Brady Neil is the next one that has a decision to make um and Brady Neil may not be we’ll see uh he may be but I’m telling you there is a really good chance Brady Neil ain’t back next year um and we’ll see what he decides I’m not telling you he’s leaving but I told y all Paxon cling was going to leave and it’s the right thing for him to do now the thing heard is that he’s likely is moner’s talking to him about going to South Carolina and that that fits the profile of what maner wants he wants Speedy outfielders that are that are dominant man that are dominant Defenders and and he’ll get his offense other other places in his lineup if you have he will he will exchange a bat for an elite glove at a premium position catcher short center field you put Paxon cling in Center one of the best defensive center fielders in the country he’ll he’ll let him hit 220 um and by the way Gulf South Ellis you lost uh their last game of the year when cling wasn’t in Alina by the way you’ll be upset with numbers if you want I don’t make the rules uh Jesse said Matt does Paris go to pick you um we absolutely can let me know what you got Jesse uh how many elra transfers end up at SC cing is the one I’ve heard that is maybe the most interesting maybe the most uh landing spot there if anyone has thoughts we can win 10 games with Carr they really don’t understand football well they won nine games with Carr last year um and quite honestly I don’t know how they gagged away the Green Bay game so they probably should have been a 10 um but last year’s team probably should have gotten to 11 um but is not any good neither is Dennis Allen Peter any shot in episode of askir rock after dark I could ask her so tomorrow we’re actually I’m not on air tomorrow y’all what up your boy Chase um I can ask her like we’re actually uh leaving tomorrow to go to Drew Drews Cardiology on Friday morning so we used to go to Houston now our the cardiologist is in uh is in Orlando but he does his uh his medical system does uh he does Clinic one day a month in Pensacola and so Drew sees him every six months and so whatever day on the that sixth month that he The Doctor Is In Clinic that’s when we go it just happens to be a Friday this year so it’s way convenient if it’s a Monday because then we could drive on a Sunday get the first appointment on Monday and then when we’re done with the first appointment we can we can drive back this is one where we we have to go for the appointment on a Friday and we’re not going to leave home at you know F get Drew up and leave at 5:00 in the morning on Friday so we’re going to leave tomorrow drive to Florida stay the night go to the appointment on Friday and then drive home so that’s why I’m gonna miss shows the next two days so anyway my point is to that Peter is she may be up for it I mean we don’t have to get up and like run out of the house or anything for work so let’s see Clint even Matt didn’t ell get a picture from South Florida they did um why can I not remember the kid’s name and I even had him on the show yesterday he was fantastic a Christmas birthday he’s a Christmas Baby Chandler dorsy I know it’s Chandler I can’t remember his last name remember Chandler Glen dorsy Chandler being Glen dorsy there’s my demonic device so Chandler dorsy um and you 97 from the right side he was their closer this year eight saves 26 appearances and likely will be LSU’s closer next year um wford just got their poverty team destroyed uh Neil hit wor and clling in the SEC Uncle scone do your morning streams later in the morning so I can watch live so I can I usually do a man around whenever I would have to get Drew up and get him to school so that’s why I do it from 7:30 to 8 central Time Kyrie Diggs what up man good to see you hope you’re having a good evening let’s see I’m not saying Paul wouldn’t want cling I was talking to someone this week about Paul using three center fielders three Short Stops to put a premium speed in Def yes that’s cor that’s what he does man that’s what he does uh he recruits a bunch of Short Stops and puts them all over the field and a bunch of center fielders and puts him all over the Outfield uh Caleb JT had 17 errors last year but you’re also talking about through postseason and that was a problem but we’ also seen Jordan Thompson be elite defensively so there’s a big difference when you hadn’t seen brazwell at at that Peak um all right Juan got little Bland’s gold there you go my dude stepen Robi what up got a little store pick of 1792 bot and bond last week in Texas the work CH is kill Eric did Jordan Thompson lead leak yeah but again so I just answered that yes uh Jordan Thompson was also a like this goes to show you the difference when you have range arm Talent speed Jordan Thompson uh so JT went around 15 to the Dodgers um but I know the money he got and he got top 10 round money um let’s see Travis Roy plans on uh any plans in the work to do game coin update or AMA um I love that Travis um I would love to do an AMA um probably whenever we have more to say but I’ll also tell you one thing that’s precluded that for a while was you know if you remember something we talked about a while ago was the the SEC Fiasco that went through not the Southeastern Conference Securities and Exchange Commission if you missed that update I don’t know six months ago whenever they they put that out there um that precluded everybody from saying anything I mean the is just cracking down on crypto and so they did a full deep investigation into game coin and they came back and were like y’all are good go ahead um but it precluded anybody from saying anything publicly for a long time which is why there was a lot of radio silence for a while but I would love to do something like that again let’s see uh Lance if I search your name on Facebook just your page shows up I mean I have a privacy setting somewhere that I need to fix and I don’t know what it is but that’s that’s the problem clearly that I’m having Pro would it be profile and tagging settings who can now I who can post on your profile I have only me but that just means other people can’t but who can see what others post on your profile everyone I don’t know what’s up with that man visibility who can see your post public weird I don’t get it [Music] man I mean there’s something there’s some setting I have on on this page because so I mean just to tell you very cly so for a long time I only had my personal profile and then got to the point where you could only have 5,000 friends so that’s why I started a page my page now has 18,000 followers on it um and thank you for that but the weird thing is Facebook does monetize but they monetize through your profile not through your page on live videos so when I do live videos and we get thousands of views I don’t get Facebook gets all the money I don’t get anything so it’s like well I’ll just start going live on my profile instead of my page well I’m live right now on the profile but nobody can see it so I have some setting somewhere where people let’s see profile transparency hold on I’ll have to figure it out later it’s so weird though I don’t know why this is happening and I’m super bummed about it but whatever okay um Taylor who are some of the other transfer players you think LSU will go after this offseason told you already the two biggest names are Gavin kill and the short stop from Louisville and Zack root left-handed pitcher from me Carina if they miss on Gavin killan the uh the short stop from um uh the short stop from Indiana state whose name is Randall Diaz is the other guy they’d go after hit 360 18 homers 55 RB 15 doubles and a 1069 Ops that would be the guy that they go after if they don’t get Gavin killan but fingers crossed and knock on wood and all that stuff uh who said Texas is a better program than A&M I wouldn’t say that now um Johnny mango rip marovich Yeah man so sad see that about Josh marovic and y’all I spent some time last night looking I have pictures so in 2009 LSU did a 100y year of of LSU basketball Century of Tiger basketball anniversary Game LSU played Arkansas then after the game they invited all these former LSU basketball players to come do a like a pickup game essentially and Josh marovich played in it and he wore his dad’s number and he wore floppy socks as well and I have pictures of it somewhere and I’m sure it’s on a thumb drive and I looked for it a long time last night and couldn’t find it um Taylor how good do you think these pitches are can you give a comp how you see both them playing out um well I think Chandler dorsy is your closer next year he did tell me yesterday on AFR that he’d like to have the opportunity to come in and be a starter so I think you give him that opportunity we’ll see if he can extend it if not he’s your closer um big strong arm righty reminds me probably a lot of Eric Raisman remember who came in from University of San Francisco throwing 97 98 back of the bullpen guy that’s what that feels like um now Zack Cohen is 5’11 but he can extend and he’s an Innings eater is what he is so he’s probably a he’s probably a Sunday guy or a long middle relief guy if he doesn’t win a job in the rotation that eats a bunch of innings for you that’s that’s probably his role next year Eugene greetings and hudat from Philly learn of Jaan Johnson’s injury So It Begins you know what Eugene honestly man I I keep saying this given Clint kubak history with tight ends Jan Json and Tamm Hill don’t fit that mold he in his offenses has used a prototype tight end so like Foster Morrow is a prototype tight end Johnson and Tamm Hilt are not like that the guy D Hulker the undrafted free agent they signed fits more of the bill um so I’m be curious to see how they would even use Jaan Johnson in this offense uh Jason said Brady Neil Griffin Herring will a th% be back um okay I think with Griffin herring it’s a 50-50 proposition because the draft um Herring is a reliever and relievers top out at about 500k in the draft so to someone call him in round four and offer him half a million to four five off him half million dollar maybe and if he does and he takes it he’s gone I think the more likely scenario is Herring comes back competes to be a starter because he still has a year of Leverage and and if he wins a starting job then potentially you know multiplies that number um Neil I don’t Jason I mean brother I had a really CED convo today I don’t think it’s any certainty that Bray Neil is back I don’t know why you’re saying he’s a th% back but that ain’t the conversation I had today bro and and even still I mean you got to sweat out airon be in the draft your freshman sige you got Blaze Priester coming in who could always sign as well man Hernandez who you just got yesterday out of the portal he’s also potential draft risk I’m here to tell you man like I’d probably get a true catcher anyway a small school catcher who you know could be up hey go catch in the midweek give my guy a you remember Shawn mcmanis um Jay’s first year the guy they brought in from South Alabama couldn’t catch a lick but hit hit the ball pretty well but sometimes just to give and whoever else break like they let him catch like you need one of those Craig let me get that bteac no way bro uh so less mediocre or good coach I feel it’ss way too much negativity based on his record you don’t win that long with that much consistency if you’re a bad coach Les’s problem is he just wouldn’t evolve offens defensively if he had just let go offensively and hired a good young coordinator he would have won more national titles he recruited he hired he hired Les Miles hired excellent staff members like less miles hired Steve Ensminger less miles hired Dave Randa less miles hired Ed oon less miles hired Cory Raymond I mean less miles Le M’s a good coach man he had one fatal flaw he could not let go of the offense after after the 08 season he just said we’re never losing that way again where we turn the ball over and so they went into a shell it cost him his job courtland’s even funnier when bamama sites post the Bama’s burning videos been out of shape y’all should see my Twitter mentions for the last week the one we did last week whatever did like 400,000 views on Twitter my mentions are a total [ __ ] show um Jamie thank you so much appreciate that very much um sample of Koy he’ll better be included Tony Matt watching you do B is burning is that right hilarious I love your maniacal laugh when you do the segments one of the bamama people in my comments said he wants to be T-Bob so bad I thought to myself [ __ ] hell even know bro I’ve been screaming like an [ __ ] on the radio since T-Bob was in high school bro I have been doing bits like that on radio since 2003 oh man before TB was in high school oh man that’s why I love radio man it’s so much fun it’s theater of the mind like it’s supposed to be fun that’s why I listen to National show sometimes and it’s just this mindless back and forth Point Counterpoint Point Counterpoint break it’s like can y’all do something [ __ ] creative can y’all have fun just have fun it’s it’s Sports It’s supposed to be fun Dale wink once nod twice if killing root will be on Camp this weekend well Dale okay is that what I had to do it’s a big weekend for Jay Johnson okay let’s put it to you that way um Rand will Jay have a good enough team to make it to Omaha next year yeah I mean this team wasn’t great and they almost made it to Omaha I mean you were blown ninth inning lead away from winning a regional and hosting a super against an a mediocre West Virginia team so yeah told you drink it all the time Zachary do you take any supplements for your beard bu needs help I don’t know what Pro to use I don’t even know what a what a beard supplement would be um no this just my beard and I even trimmed it yesterday too y’all that’s that is a freshly trimmed beard yesterday and it’s that dark and full I don’t know what to tell you bro I got a good beard but I got no hair on my head and I got hair all over my body so strikes and gutters my man um where are we all right Barry what’s going on thank you man Gul South is Louisville shortstop looking for the most nil he can get or does he want to go somewhere with a chance to win a CWS well here’s the thing man gol South the um here’s the teams [ __ ] sorry uh so here’s the teams in the mix Tennessee Texas A&M Arkansas LSU and Texas if it’s just nil like just going to the highest bidder LSU will lose but there’s a lot but Jay Johnson is the best recruiter in the game he’s the best recruiter in college baseball and if he can say take less come here and we’ll develop you and give you a shot to be a first round draft pick and win and play in front of 10,000 people and look at what we did for this guy this guy this guy like I mean y’all heard William Schmidt on AFR he said it’s so hard to say no to J Johnson like he makes it really hard to say no so some guys just want a bag some guys look beyond that and if Gavin kellan’s looking Beyond just the bag he’ll and I’ll tell you like they didn’t break off Tommy White they didn’t break off Paul SK like those guys didn’t get an astronomical sum to sign with LSU like I don’t want to tell you what I was told about white because without actually having seen The Ledger I don’t want to I don’t want to repeat it but suffice to say that someone within LSU’s Collective told me the number and I’m just telling you man like Tommy White didn’t just get a bag and ELO to show up here um anyway Barry need you to handicap football and baseball next year need to set my expectations um Barry I think football can go 10 and two I think if you my this is I’m getting close to my how I feel on the season I think the difference between 10 and two and 9 and3 for this LSU team is the Old Miss game if you can get to the Old Miss game undefeated and win it in Baton Rouge I think you’re a 10 and two team um with the chance to be even better you know I think you drop one along the way somewhere and you got you got tough matchups some tough road games you know you got to play Bama um who would spy to my Bama is burning segments I it’s still they’re going to be a good team they’re just not going to win a National Championship I I don’t think they win one under Caleb deor uh I bookmark me um will ell should be ranking top five preseason football no triple D hopefully they smart enough to get taste from the ball does Neil already have an FSU nil offer on the table I don’t know that definitively he but he’s from Tallahassee I have been told in no uncertain terms that he and his Representatives have had certain um requests read demands and I don’t know that those are are will be met I don’t know what offer he has but he’s from Tallahassee and it just wouldn’t surprise me if he leaves that’s all like I I mean Brady Neil is going into his draft year he has been a he was injured his first year he was part of a platoon system at catcher this year he needs to be an everyday catcher somewhere and get 200 at bats and so all these guys remember they they have agents now remember when you’re in the nil space you could have an agent represent you for nil purpos nil purposes but it’s a little bit of a different game man so they guy earlier who said Brady Neil’s 1,000% coming back brother like I don’t know I mean unless if you tell me you’re you’re Brady Neil’s dad I don’t think so bro he he could Taylor what’s your take on the weekend rotation is holler and Shores holler and Shores who’s holler do you think harrying gets Sunday who’s holler I mean I think Shores is your Friday guy and I think Kate Anderson’s probably your Saturday guy unless if Herring wins the Saturday job and Kate Anderson becomes your Sunday guy and then Zack Cohen the guy they got today could be a bit of a wild card but if you get Zack root from East Carolina I think Zack rud is in your rotation 100% in the same way that jump was going to be in your rotation this year um Brian GF South Florida State dominating all portal Sports looks like Ronnie dug go thanks for all you do look for something to watch hope you’re doing well Ronnie uh is Buffalo Trace good Buffalo Trace is excellent you find a bottle of Buffalo Trace a $25 bottle of whiskey it’s as good a bottle as you’ll find for 25 bucks man uh I saw you posted thanks for watching in the comments to aama Fan no doubt I love doing that when they when they crush me they watch my video crush me I’ll go thanks for watching so good Johnny uh I think Les was a great coach would adapt offensively no doubt andless was a good recruiter man talked to I have talked to too many players in their families that said um uh Less in a living room on a couch talking to a family was hard to beat it’s hard it’s hard to believe but I heard it from too many of them to think other SVP andilla was the only National show with personality such a great combo what’s funny is that show was that show bombed um it’s weird it worked here it worked in college markets because they would talk college but from a a national ESP PN perspective that show didn’t do well um Johnny mango Derek praying for everything you do thank you Derek appreciate that man do we expect new to picture oh Jaden new um I don’t know I hope so I’d love to see him but I I don’t know man another guy whose career has been you know beset by injuries my friend Michael what’s up man uh Tommy White 20 no no Dale no the other way like the the other way like es when he now here’s the good thing for Tommy White Tommy White legit did nil the right way and made a lot of money because he became a fan favorite especially after last year um I mean I know I have had firsthand conversations with people who have held autograph signing events where Tommy White has made 50k in a day so like Tommy White legit made an Kane’s commercial I mean he legit did nil the right way and made a lot of money but LSU didn’t like hand him a big bag just to come here that did not happen I’m telling you that did not happen uh is be Jones gone I think 80% he signs but that’s always the question with the draft man you just don’t know like is some is a team going to pick up the phone offer that guy 800k to a million and does if they do does he take it because if you’re bear Jones why do you come back like he’s not coming back to become a great catcher or an outfielder he’s a first baseman in DH that’s what he is and if you come back you don’t have Tommy White in the lineup for protection and teams have seen you they’re going to pitch to you differently so what if teams pitch around you and you don’t get a chance to swing the bat and so so you go from hitting over 300 to 280 and from 28 homers to 20 homers well what does that do to your draft stock in your draft year so it’s the it’s the decision everybody’s got to make and I just think it’s hard when you’re when you are after your second year of college if a major league team calls you and says we’re going to give you a million dollars to sign and come start your pro career how do you say I don’t want a million dollars I’m good Patrick what’s good Michael pretty sure what I’m heard Michael Bradwell wants to return is likely to he may want to return I don’t think he’s going to return I think he will be encouraged to sign uh if if a team drafts him that’s the other big question does a team draft him uh Adam I’m in the one% who fell for the Bama Stadium joke I’m an idiot I don’t know how I don’t know how like how could any human think I actually think the name of the stadium is Brian Dene the actor who was spoofed in in South Park bigger longer uncut what would Brian boyano do I am floored that there is actually a human being that did not that does not get that and now that I have to say this it’s a spoiler because now I’m recorded saying exactly what my intentions are and so any of the Bama people who see it can click flip it and put oh just messing with us yes I’m messing with you of course I am I’m degrading your sacred ground Kobe Walker Milton Burell good evening any trans Chev penck to the right side so Carr can see who’s about to sack [Laughter] you I needed the Lev the levity bro oh Milton I needed the levity y’all call Paris please I’m sitting here doing this

shingle color we take care of everything Michael what I’ve seen heard oh sorry read that one uh Randall Anderson couldn’t get SC hitters out this year how can he be the Saturday starter next year um because guys are allowed to improve and he was really good in the postseason and and the SC tournament and kept getting better so Ronnie MD Anderson imminent all right man keep us posted man thinking about you praying for you man Taylor what you take on the next quarterback draft class Saint’s finally going to draft the first round quarterback when Da is fired um no because you were tethered financially to car for two more years this year and next so like you can’t get rid of Derek Carr you got to Hope one of these young guys you drafted in rounds four and five pan out and so then you have a a a quarterback on a rookie contract getting paid 300K and you can afford other you can afford to eat a a Derek Carr contract got it all right Ronnie keep us posted Man Dustin abar strikes in gutters with he get to 54 it’s a lot more gutters than strikes I don’t know about that man uh every day gets better Randall SVP is the only ESPN show I watch human and Stanford Steve are great I they’re awesome I mean I love I love both those guys professionally and personally Michael Roby root and n on the M that’s gonna be confusing Adam Clark Matt send you a d on Twitter about a possible segment just FY I’ll check it out thank you I don’t always check just as an FYI I don’t always check DMs I know people send me DMS a lot on Insta on Facebook Messenger on TW I just I don’t have notifications set um I don’t have alert set so it’s I don’t always see DMS just as an FYI the best way to get me is probably text me on my show TextLine email me no so few people use email anymore that if I get anything that’s not spam I’m likely to see it um Jones has some Freeman and Olen from the right side pro teams absolutely pro teams will want him Barry gonna miss the 22 Tommy White squat when it bad Dale Pass my bedtime all right Dale we’ll see you man have a good night Brian Zack branch is fast didn’t have the best numbers last year will he break out versus LSU week one um how’s the how is their quarterback GNA look I mean that’s a bigger question right petting joke was good it was good Jeremy hope comes back me too man Jeremy same with Pearson Pearson’s just not a Pro Prospect that’s the difference like he’s undersized he do he’s not he doesn’t have a Plus tool in any of the five five tools doesn’t have plus glove plus arm plus speed plus average plus power he doesn’t have plus anything um he’s just a really really good college baseball player the other thing too is he’s a 250 career hitter like that’s the thing about Pearson we love playoff Josh Pearson because he’s been clutch in so many spots but he just you got to hit better than 250 he’s just a career 250 hitter St uh I know call it so not Bryant Brian Brian Brian Den like the actor Will you and TB be a Don for whiskey and wine yes we will come on bro we’ll be there you know where to find us except game one will be in Vegas Casey I’ll call Parish but I want scone doing 100% of the labor to replace roof no you don’t Casey I tell people that all the time bro no you don’t you don’t want me you don’t want me any any you don’t want me anywhere near near your roof you should do some of the dudes on our crews but they get these pallets of shingles and they will throw them o over like one big stack another big stack like this and then dudes run up the ladder like I don’t even know how they pick up one of these let alone two and then run up the ladder with no hands because they’re holding up and they get up and boom I’m telling you man they it’s it is an incredible display of like Works workmanship when you see those Crews like stripping a roof and putting on a new roof it’s it’s you don’t want me anywhere near he that bro yeah golf South no word from oo man I’m bummed on it too dude dungeon Dojo agree bear Jones doesn’t have any gain by coming back read the on three article Jay seemingly told Jones he could come back and prove his stock listen he’s got it I mean that’s that’s the message that’s what you try to sell him on we’ll see what he does though man it’s just what happens when you get that phone call that phone call is there is a team that is going to ring that dude’s number and offer from a 800k to aill million bucks does he take it that’s the question does he take it um who are you rooting for in the CWS anybody but the give me any of the ACC teams remember when AR Ardon key ended Trevor Pen’s career before it even started which player on the football team is breaking out which freshman is g to be the next household name um breakout Kiron Lacy does that count freshman um um who’s the kid from destrahan um defensive player linebacker Edge um see when all put it up I’mma tell you watching that kid in Spring as an early enrol Le brother he belongs collage cobbins that’s it collage cobbins y’all tell you what they got him listed at 61 and a half 204 I don’t know how that all fits I don’t even care I’m just telling you collage cobbins was taken some reps like against the twos so not against coming off the left off the right and not against Will Campbell but collage cobbins was taking reps off of dudes that are going to play and was beating them as a freshman in Ro Le that dude is going to be I don’t know if it’ll happen this year but that dude is going to play I’m I’m here to tell you bro that dude is going to play um I think and I think Deshawn McBride has a chance to have a freshman year like Eric Reed by the end of the year like could be starting by the end of the year but there you go Taylor I think by the by the end of the year Deshawn McBride could be starting he just looks physically like he’s already ready to be in SEC safety Jack you play any golf with your handicap don’t get to play nearly enough man love to play but work life all that stuff is really taking me away from it but I love to play okay all right y’all I think we’re done thanks for watching please smash the like button there YouTube uh subscribe up to the channel excuse me subscribe to the channel Facebook if you can hear us Facebook um go ahead and you follow the page and all that stuff yall have a great night um wait hang on okay a couple more GF South is Haring no what so what I had a scout tell me is the max a reliever will get is 500k so if Haring comes back to be a starter he could go higher than that still have his leverage who is the um remember Ben Joyce Ben Joyce was the relief pitcher at Tennessee who threw um who threw remember threw like 104 Ben Joyce who threw 104 went in round three and they gave him a million that’s a dude that threw 104 miles an hour and went around three now I gave him a million Griffin herring getting a million you know what I mean like love griin aing it’s great pitchure he ain’t getting what Ben Joyce got you know what I mean like Ben Joyce is already in the pros like he’s already been called up by the Angels so that’s like the top of what of what Herring would get so come back and and make a run at it potentially being a starter Stephan fry running back group top to bottom uh Caleb Jackson Josh Williams 1 a1b I think Kaden Durham and John emry each play a role and we’ll see what happens with um with Trey Holly uh Evans crew is Josh Pearson’s brother coming to LSU yeah yeah he’ll be on campus I I I’ve had him kind of described as as like a cade boso type um you know a um it’s going to love LSU um maybe not projectable so much as a as a prospect um physically kind of built the same your stocky guy your first base uh DH type um but yeah John Pearson good what’s good man good to see you where does gri fit in the puzzle for 2025 same role he’s been man he’s back of the bullpen reliever all right Juan wife gave you the green light for Vegas I’ll be there Juan you better come say hey man all right last one hopefully gri has more consistency as your bridge to the closer I would love to see that courland um you could have a nice back of the bullpen with gidry um with dorsy you know we’ll see what else pops out of the portal but anyway um I said it was the last one thought maner had health issues it wasn’t a health issue it was just his neck he he had a an a disc issue in his neck that always made him so uncomfortable was painful and he’s had multiple necks he said he’s even had multiple neck surgeries multiple more since he retired um like to numb
