I heard something the other day saying this was his last year at LSU, I thought he would be here one more year.

Draft eligible sophomore. With the season he’s having I can’t imagine he comes back. Would be outstanding though.

I don’t think it is as automatic as people are saying namely Moscona

He’s a corner power hitter that Ks a bunch. He’s not all that rare

I’d get another year of NIL before I go make 29 thousand a year for three years at least.

A lot depends on his price and who drafts him. Teams with higher slot pools can sometimes pay over slot if they save money on other picks. Slot value for first pick in the 3rd rd is 1.1 million. He has a lot of leverage since he can come back. Most teams interested will have an idea if he will sign before they draft him.

He needs a lot of development. Would be a smart move to stay !

His current projection is the 7th-9th RD, despite what the “He Gone” crowd is saying. Griffin Herring is a bigger risk of being offered enough money to leave.

He needs one more year to cut down the strike outs and get more plate discipline. There are more polished players. He could be a round 3-4 player. Right now he’s probably a round 7-10 player

It only takes one team falling in long with him...with that being said I think it's a 50/50 at this point.

I'm more worried about Griffin Herring, getting him to stay another year could make or break LSU's rotation in 2025 (without counting transfers).

People saying he’s 100% leaving are dumb. Dude just learned how to hit a curve ball. He’s barely batting over .300. He was basically Travinski ladt season. If I know Jay he’s gonna point to Crews and White as examples as to why to stay. Plus the way this year went I could see he wants to come back as one the leaders of the team next season and make a push to Omaha. I think Jay is about to kill the portal this off season and be highly motivated becauase of how the season went. Last time season ended early in Hatttisburg. He got White and Skenes.

We have some really young hitters with major potential. Milam, Brown, Larson, Frey, Neal, etc

We shall see
