Wes Johnson Has An Effective Strategy…But I Don’t Like It

Georgia didn’t just sweep LSU this weekend. What stood out to me most was how Georgia has constructed and developed its roster over the last few years...and what it may say about the future of college baseball. In this episode, I take a deeper look into Wes Johnson’s roster-building strategy at Georgia, why so many of their veteran players and portal additions have flourished in the SEC, and why that formula has produced remarkable consistency. I also discuss: • Georgia’s portal-heavy roster construction • The development of veteran players • LSU’s younger roster approach • Why older teams may now have a major advantage • The changing landscape of college baseball • Whether this is the direction the sport is heading Georgia’s strategy is clearly effective. I’m just not sure I like what it means for the future of the sport.

Still Alive? | 2026 Class | MLB Draft Outlook

LSU is still alive…but what actually changed this weekend, and is there a real path forward? In this episode, I break down why LSU’s success comes down to one thing: the ability to establish a true 1–2 punch on the mound. We look at how the Tigers finally got the length they’ve been missing from their Friday and Saturday starters…and why that changes everything. I also recap the sweep over South Carolina, highlighting the offensive production, defensive improvements, and bullpen performance that stood out. Then we map out LSU’s path to the postseason…what it will realistically take over the final stretch and how they need to approach each series. Finally, I introduce LSU’s 2026 class, break down the early MLB Draft outlook, and explain how it all shapes the 2027 roster. If you want a clear picture of where LSU stands right now and where things are headed, this episode is for you.

9 Straight Losses…But LSU Might Be Ahead of Schedule

LSU has now lost 9 straight SEC games…something we’ve never seen before. And yet, after breaking this season down, I actually believe this program might be ahead of schedule. In this episode, I walk through LSU’s season in three parts…how a 12–3 start turned into a midseason reality check, and how things have completely unraveled over the last 15 games. But more importantly, we get into what’s happening beneath the surface. * The freshman breakout that stood out this weekend * Why Serna and Braun just did something we haven’t seen all year * What LSU is learning about its roster right now that actually helps moving forward * Why playing all these young guys might be the biggest long-term win * My early transfer portal wish list and how I’m thinking about roster construction It’s been a frustrating season, no question. But this episode is about the bigger picture…and why there are real reasons to believe LSU is building something that will matter sooner than people think. 🎙️ Inside LSU Baseball
