A great ending to a fun season. I’m sure coach Johnson is already contacting recruits and portal players to mine the good feeling around the program after winning the championship again. Our baseball l team is in good hands. I am optimistic that this will not be the last for Johnson at LSU.
There just seems to be a vibe for LSU baseball that says, just get us to Omaha, and everything will take care of itself. I still don't feel like we had national championship calibre talent, aside from the Anderson-Eyanson duo - but I do have to acknowledge the bullpen (esp. Chase Shores) really elevated its game in Omaha. What this team did have is supreme self-confidence and the ability to rise to the occasion. So many guys stepped up and delivered when they had to; Milam, Jones, Curiel, Brown, Hernandez, Cowan, Evans, even Braswell, who didn't let his troubles at the plate impact his play at 3rd. Arky and CC absolutely cracked under the pressure, LSU did not. The "chest" to handle the moment is as important as talent when the moment arrives.
2 weeks till the MLB draft after which Coach Johnson can evaluate and start the reload process in earnest.
