LSU head coach Jay Johnson joins Shotgun Spratling on the Sidearm Delivery Podcast to talk about roster construction and putting together one of the deepest teams in the nation, including what Johnson will have to do to keep everyone fully invested in the team rather than individual desires.

D1Baseball & D1 SEC Extra's Mark Etheridge also joins the show to talk about Johnson’s Tigers and the rest of the SEC. He also discusses how his life as chief bracketology expert is going to change with all the conference re-shuffling, potentially creating new criteria and new rules about what will and won't be an NCAA-tournament at-large resume.
