Anyone know the amount needed? He can't be far away with 44 in three seasons (7,20,17). If I had to guess, I would say Furniss holds it. Other LSU power hitters worthy of an honorable mention include:

B. Cresse
B. Hawpe
T. McClure
B. Larson (40 in his only season at LSU, WOW!)
T. Walker
R. Johnson
L. Mouton
G. Hymel
A. Belle (a little before my time, but I know he had power in the majors)

These are the guys that stand out in my mind. I am sure there are a few others. Keep in mind some of these guys had the luxury of hitting with a 2-3/4" diameter bat while now only a 2-5/8" diameter is allowed.

Dean aint getting 36 so he won't hold the record, but with a big season you can definately put him on the list of great LSU power hitters.

The numbers are like comparing apples to oranges due the the bat changes.

There's an outside shot that he gets the record, but a lot depends on how the rest of the line-up hits around him, how deep LSU goes into the post-season (more games = more ABs) and whether or not he can avoid another slump like the one that he had this year.

If I had to put money on it, I would bet that Eddie's record is safe.

The last time somebody hit 36 home runs was in 97 when Larson hit 40 and Berkman hit 41. I think it's safe to say Dean won't be getting there.

It would have been interesting to see the numbers Belle and Mouton would have put up using Larson's bat.

There is no outside shot. No one is hitting 36 HRs with these bats.

College Baseball would be shocked if he even got to 30.

Clark hit 28 last season and had a shot at 30 if LSU wouldnt have gone 1-2 in the CWS
