I think the fact that one combo is purchased for a single year together and the other were career players for their school makes a difference.

Only one of those duos won a National Championship though

Key word is since. He's not saying Palmiero & Clark weren't better.

You must be a Russian bot trying to divide the faithful.

Fixed it for you.

I also thought Todd Walker and Russ Johnson were a more formidable combo for LSU back in '94, but my old memory is what it is.

White played better for NC State as a freshman. https://gopack.com/sports/baseball/roster/tommy-white/11213

So LSU tells White to go in the portal and pays him
Then outbids everyone for Skenes
Signs Hurd from UCLA

It is really to the point of "assemble a 1 year pickup team" from any elite player anywhere that wants to be paid.

Coaches are basically going after elite players everywhere trying to get them into the portal. You have to believe that is what was tried with Jordan last week.

LSU had starters recruited by Manieri, key players from Louisiana and added some top talent through the portal and recruiting. That's a great strategy if you want to win championships. This is Cruz's third year at LSU
