re: Official 2011 baseball commitment thread

So that's 20 2012 commitments on a 35 man roster? Two seniors graduating plus a couple underclassmen potentially lost to the draft from the current roster. What gives? How are the numbers going to add up?

Attrition is going to be the norm on a 35-man roster. You'd like to see less, but when an LSU doesn't make a regional it's not unexpected to see a roster purge.

I just hope they get better guys in here as a result of the changes. Coaches AND players.

Y'all had some good Freshmen with a lot of
Potential. Will Mainieri really cut a ton of players?

How many of the signees are expected to get drafted high and sign pro?

I don't think we'll lose any more than 6 or 7 in a worst case scenario.

Bump for draft day. Starts at 6 pm.

Finally draft day, I think everyone has done a good job of keeping updated info in the thread.

After the draft we'll have to bump the 2012 thread and start updating it.

2 LSU Pitchers on the Delgado Boosters team destroyed the Jesuit 5A High School State Champs (Retif Oil in the American Legion League) in an exhibition game at Delgado on July 20th.

Brent Bonvillain (Junior Transfer) - 5 complete innings allowed no runs, 2 hits, and struck out 12

Joe Broussard (Returning Sophomore) - 3 complete innings allowed 1 run, 2 hits, and struck out 6

Stone Speer (UNO Junior Transfer) - 1 complete inning allowed no runs, no hits and struck out 2

In total, the current 5A champions where struck out 20 times for the 27 possible outs. Delgado won the game 4-1. Of note, Jesuit batted with non-bbcor aluminum bats and Delgado batted with wooden bats preparing for the AAABA tournament in Pennsylvania next month.
