Unfortunately, TAMU infielder Kaeden Kent (son of Jeff Kent, who played in the MLB) is headed back to Texas A&M, per TexAgs.

I'm waiting for another cutaway to his dad by ESPN before I believe this.

Winning a natty and not becoming Coach O level stupid or scandalous buys you more than 3 years

They saved 2m by hiring the hitting coach and had 10m raised for NIL so they money whipped every player to come back.

I gotta say I was expecting one more splash commit on the offensive side of the ball. Still time, but it is running short

Same with Lavoilette; Earley must have made a good impression

I just like dumb fans that set themselves up with dumb expectations. When Early convinced literally everyone to come back besides Kent, it should have been obvious Kent was going to join the party soon. That isn't Jay's fault.

Don't know about all that but they still have holes on the team right now for sure. How deep is the portal right now? They need at least 2 big bats out of it and that's if the draft is nice to us.

Or it could be they really liked the coach and took the market value NIL deal?

You don’t think Texas, LSU and Tennessee were throwing offers for a couple of those guys too?

I got news for you
We ain’t paying like Aggies are
They also got three football players out of California which is unheard of for Aggies
Will see if the strategy works but lsu is not close to competing with Aggies or Texas with nil

So you're saying if Jones comes back we need 2 big bats still? I'd highly disagree.

1 we're definitely not done in the portal.
2 we've got some really good players already coming in, including guys who can hit for power

There are no power bats left in the portal. They all went to A&M and Tennessee

Is Braswell coming back? I'd expect him and Jones to be gone so yeah, I think they need 2 big bats. They're losing White too. Depth looks an issue as well. Catcher? SS?


I think pitching will be much improved next year. I hope Shores it back to his old form.

Our fans get angry when people remove their name from transfer portal and return to their school. Apparently if that happens, it’s because the baseball coach in Baton Rouge should be fired.

LSU really needs some infielders, at some point during the last week or so, they had to have thought Kent was coming.
