Louisiana State of the Union: where LSU athletics are right now and what comes next

Tuesday night was the State of the Union for the entire country. But Wednesday night is even more important – it is the Louisiana State of the Union to address where LSU football, baseball, and men's and women's basketball stand and questions that remain about each team at this point of the season.

It's hard not to feel great about where LSU football ended the 2022 season and the talent with which it has reloaded for next season. LSU went 10-4 with a win over Alabama and a trip to Atlanta for the SEC Championship in Brian Kelly's first year, and although it wasn't perfect and absolutely had it's areas of improvement, the team outperformed expectations for Kelly's inaugural season. LSU has a top ten 2023 recruiting class and the top transfer portal class coming in to add veteran depth. But how does this team build upon year one?

LSU baseball finds itself as the hottest preseason team in the country: unanimous number one team, top recruiting class, and some of the most impactful transfers from across the country. But no one cares about preseason rankings in Omaha, so how will this team live up to expectations even throughout the tumultuous conference schedule?
