Actually going to LSU makes the most sense.

I think the appeal of being closer to home was family and girlfriend. The girlfriend is gone to Austin now. I think the appeal of being closer to family is still there and I'm sure he realizes the pub that the SEC gets, so he'll listen. Jay is the ultimate closer, so we'll see.

In other news, LSU has spoken to Stephen Klein. As I've said previously, Klein still wants to go pro but he's entertaining transfer spots around the southeast.

May have already been posted but Mahtook said on his show today that he expects both Christian Little and Javen Coleman to return to LSU.

Chase Burns probably got a sweet NIL deal from Big Tobacco.

Javen Coleman to return to LSU.



This one kind of surprises me.

Little has already announced he’s coming back so that’s expected but I figured Coleman was going to bounce while he still had a little leverage. I’d be ecstatic to have him back. And I probably owe him an apology for my drunken rant during the CWS.

This comment honestly makes me feel a lot better and put things into perspective. Our recency bias makes us think how awesome burns was when he really wasn’t #notmad

I think things have been pretty quiet lately on him. Most think it’s Arkansas. Texas Tech boards insinuated Arkansas was tampering before Molina was in the portal.

Burns was awesome as a reliever, but pretty bad in a starting role. If he wants to start, that would have worried me a little.


Remember this - CJJ has a ‘mental mold’ he wants each player to conform to; specifically, must be able to put the goals of the team before individual achievements. He’s worked 2+ yrs on the foundation for this ‘culture’ and he’s not going to break that model for anyone.

He highlighted that mantra again this am on OTB when talking about building 2024’s roster. I’ve said from the beginning Burns’ departure from UTKnox and his reasoning justifying leaving did not fit CJJ’s team character. Wish the kid well but I’m glad he’s not here.

I heard the Moscona segment last week. The three players he mentioned not coming were Lape and two former commits: J. Burch from Delgado and J. Vanek.

Gage Jump might be in the weekend rotation by mid March if not at the beginning


Gage beat out Thatcher Hurd at UCLA their freshman year. Was the Sunday starter as a true freshman at UCLA until he got hurt early in the year. Gage may just end up being the Friday guy

The girlfriend is on the LSU roster for beach volleyball in 2023, but I assume that is last spring?

Gotta be more going on with him than just Arkansas. Just a hunch. I watched a few of his games, kid can flat out shove

Off topic right now but wanted to point out that Billy Amick went to Tenn with intentions to play 3B. This was assuming Zane Denton was getting drafted but here we are…good problem to have for Tenn but we’ll see who’s better defensively. Both can hit. Should’ve waited till after the draft to make a decision like that IMO.

I could be wrong, but I think he was a redshirt sophomore this year and has two years of eligibility remaining.
