Seriously if 18-20 of those 23 make it to campus, how the hell do we manage that
There is going to be some attrition from the class itself unfortunately and then comes the attrition from the team itself.

But it still seems like an especially large amount of signees this year. Is it normally around that number?
Posted on 6/7/13 at 10:26 pm to Bonjourno
No, but there was an expected amount of seniors and juniors leaving early as well as a potential pool of signees leaving which will obviously not happen.

guess it's still too soon for you to predict the 35 man roster for next year huh?

I have a feeling Lamarche leaves

Is Stevenson a lock in the outfield next season? Doesn't foster play 2nd??

He's gone from the rumors prior to the draft.

He'll play LF/CF or he'll be on the bench.
Foster will play anywhere.

Some tough chouces will have to be made in the Fall. We'll have depth and talent all over. I think Foster will stay in the outfield, we'll have plenty of infielders.

This is long, so...forewarned...
Dont want to be crucified, but he could be one of the guys on the chopping block for next year. I am not saying by any means he WILL be cut, just that Mainieri has some VERY tough decisions coming up. With it looking like the entire recruiting class will be coming in sans Williams and Palladino...this is who we are losing as far as position players
SR. (OF) Edward
SR. (OF) Rhymes
SR. (UTIL/1B) Katz
SR. (MINF) Yocum
JR. (MINF) Jones
So we're returning Ross, and losing no catchers. So now we have 3 catchers once again, not counting Moore who can get back there if need be too. We have a JUCO catcher coming in Kade Scivicque...do we REALLY need 4 catchers? 2 sophomores, 1 junior and 1 senior? Once again, not counting Tyler Moore.
As far as the OF goes we're returning Laird, Stevenson, McMullen, Sciambra and Foster a utility OF/2B. So 4 to 5 OF returning, yet we have Jarrett DeHart, Jake Fraley, Cade Stone and possible Charlie Yorks coming in. So that's at least 7 OF, not including Foster who could play 2B or Yorks who seems to be in question if he's even the recruiting class. Let's say Foster stays in the INF and Yorks isn't part of the class. Who do you trim out of those remaining 7 to get 6 dedicated OF? You have Laird, Stevenson, McMullen, Sciambra, DeHart, Fraley and Stone. Fraley and DeHart are big time prospects, so they are safe. So you're looking at Stone or someone like Sciambra or Stevenson not making the cut. Tough choice.
Now to the infield. We lose Jones, Yocum and Katz. We keep Ibarra, Bregman and Moore/Foster as utility guys. We have 5 incoming guys though in Dakota Dean, Nick Longhi, Kramer Robertson, Danny Zardon and Connor Hale. Dean, Longhi, Robertson and Zardon are absolutely safe being big recruits for us (or little brother of an assistant to the team
). Hale is a JUCO guy and I think we got him in case we couldn't hold onto Ibarra for 1 more year (maybe completely wrong there). But at any rate, you're looking at one of these aforementioned guys getting the chop before the season. Possibly could be Hale, for all I know alternate plans for him could already be in the works with Ibarra returning. Then there's pitching, holy cow, what a mess. We're losing 7 pitchers in Cotton, Bonvillian, Eades, Bourgeois, Berry, LaMarche and Rumbelow. That's a good deal...but all our signed pitchers appear to be coming sans Palladino...and there's 11 of them outside of Palladino. Good luck there Mainieri. Going to be some unhappy folks.

so frickin happy for chad jones!!
Posted on 6/8/13 at 6:01 am to thunderbird1100
typical thunderbird douchy know it all post when you actually know nothing. We've been through only 10 rounds of the draft and everyone is a guaranteed lock to come (back) to LSU in your mind.

I dont know that ross is a lock to come back. Did he say he would?
Posted on 6/8/13 at 7:23 am to josh336
I don't think we know for a fact but with him still being on the board I think it definitely bodes well for us.

Congrats to Chad Jones. He deserves it.
Btw, did JaMarcus Russell get drafted as well?

Not saying anyone is a lock to come back after round 10 but at this point it would be a poor decision to sign after round 10 if you have a chance to prove more. At this point you are looking at signing for $100k-ish or less.
Posted on 6/8/13 at 10:04 am to thunderbird1100
Yeah, but we lose a guy or two every year in the 11-25 rounds
Posted on 6/8/13 at 10:04 am to thunderbird1100
the only guy who gets jealous of high school assistant coaches writing 4 page scouting reports that he has to try and top it himself.
