I always thought Jack seemed to get squeezed in his strike zone - through no fault of his own. If he was missing when he had control problems, he wasn't missing by much. at least in the last third of the season.

Thanks for that.
Mental issues does not always equal not tough and not water hose mentality. Sometimes, athletes put a ton of pressure on themselves, pressure no one else is putting on them, because they want to do right by their teammates, and they are busting their asses but for some reason, can't break through with the consistent results.
I dealt with it at UL, and I've got a kid who dealt with it till their sport became no more fun for her, and they moved on. It ain't always because lack of effort or lack of trying to work even harder than every one else day after day. Cajun77 has even discussed these issues here from his experience in his line of work.
I hope Jack finds success. I've been rooting even harder for him ever since Minute Maid.

To be a top tier program.
One thing with NIL and the court ruling, EVERYONE gets a “taste” now where before the top flight players got paid over and beyond. It’s nuts.
I was going to say to hell with him.
But, I remember very clearly his walk back to our bench from the mound. There was no "defying orders" (as it looked to me - only my take, with little to NONE info on the situation). For every action there is a r. This could be it. Once again though, I know NOTHING. We were on the path to beating Vandy and I definitely get emotion running very high in that moment. Interesting detail, does anyone else remember the wind increasing right before that swing (and blowing to left.) It was noted by the commentators. Talk about bad timing. Anyhow, recruiting continues and I believe we are building one bad mutha.
so, how do we get from hundreds to millions?
hundreds is where we are at unless somebody knows of a money tree or money bush that has not been disclosed here
help me Rhonda, help help me Rhonda
Soccer and track don’t pay the bills…. Move 90% of the money to fooooooossssball!
Oh, a third
getting rid of the chant “another Louisiana first down” won’t put one more fan in the stadium or make one not come to the stadium because it is used
I’m talking about individual players. If we have a player leave for say 20k, here’s the door. That’s not life changing and not a team player so I don’t want you anyway.
Edit: thought it was a response to my earlier post. Still ask the question. In diamond sports, what’s the going rate and how many are there?
Folks also need to realize that most transfers have nothing to do with NIL. Even some of these SEC/ACC guys moving to other SEC/ACC schools.
Guys have been transferring in baseball forever. The vast majority won’t receive any money to do so.
there is no doubt about that with over 3,000 in the portal
where it gets tough is that if you lose your better players in the portal because someone else will pay them but you acquire what would be a trade down in talent by receiving a player nobody will pay for, then your talent level will naturally go down
you have used the portal but are you really doing any good
