Updated roster, there will be one walkon added as there are only 34 right now. Here's my projected lineup. Again this is my opinion and is not what is set in stone.
1B-Kyle Koeneman (JR)
2B-Tyler Hanover (SO)
SS-Austin Nola (SO)
3B-Grant Dozar (SO)/Mike Lowery (JR)
LF-Blake Dean (SR)
CF-Leon Landry (JR)
RF-Mikie Mahtook (SO)
C-Micah Gibbs (JR)
DH-Beau Didier (FR)/Matt Gaudet (SR)
Fri-Anthony Ranaudo (JR)
Sat-Mitch Mormann (JR)
Sun-Austin Ross (JR)
Midweek-Ben Alsup (JR)/Shane Reidie (SO)
Bullpen-Daniel Bradshaw (JR), Chad Jones (JR)*, Paul Bertucini (SR), Joey Bourgeois (SO), Chris Matulis (SO).
Closer-Matty Ott (SO)
Superstar- Blake Dean/Anthony Ranaudo
Best MLB prospect-Anthony Ranaudo
Strongest arm-Austin Nola
Sleeper-Chris Matulis
2 freshman to watch out for-Forrest Garrett/Mike Reed
2 JUCO's to watch out for-Kyle Koeneman/Edmond Sparks
Top player from each class
Senior-Blake Dean
Junior-Anthony Ranaudo
Sophmore-Mikie Mahtook
Freshman-Forrestt Garrett
MLB prospects for 2010 draft
Anthony Ranaudo-top 5 pick
Micah Gibbs-top 3 rounds
Leon Landry-top 5 rounds
Blake Dean-top 10 rounds
Chad Jones-top 10 rounds (if he focused on baseball)
Edmond Sparks-top 15 rounds
Mitch Mormann-top 20 rounds

If Koeneman hits at LSU like he did at JUCO then I'd have to say he's gone after one year.

Very much so, as we saw with Matt Clark. Still they are two very different players.

Will any of those sophomores be 21 by next summer?

you think nola has a stronger arms than hanover?
Posted on 8/19/09 at 11:54 am to Adam4848
that LSU sports roster has Dishon listed as a Junior but I'm pretty sure he'll only be soph after redshirting last year.
ETA: Also, you think Mahtook will move over for Landry? I would think he'd stay in CF.

Honestly, yes I do.

No, not to my knowledge. Tyler Hanovers birthday falls in the middle of August that's the closest any of the sophmores b days are to the draft.

Agree to disagree
I just love Nola's arm he could make any throw as a freshman.

I've never held a gun up when they were throwing next to each other it just looks like the ball comes out faster from Nola. Just my opinion.

I hear Forrest Moore(Miss St) may have enrolled at LSU,and will walk on at LSU. Any truth to this. We could use another lefty.

So you're saying that Nola can throw the ball 115 MPH?

Heard he needs surgery but he left Miss State. If he is coming he would have to sit out a year

there is one spot open for a walk on, but that doesn't mean that this is true, just means that it's still possible.

If Moore were to come on the baseball team it would be strictly as a walkon. Tryout's will be next month I presume. He would be a shoe in my opinion, we could really use some lefties outta the pen.
Only Ryan Mallett can throw a football 115mph so Hanover has some competition.

im assuming these are JUCO transfers... whats the word on them? I havent heard of them yet.

Forrestt Garrett
what about him? where does he play?
you seem pretty informed, but I might think Deshaun(sp?) might get a shot in the OF over Dean (who would obviously at least play DH). he looked great when he played as a true freshman two years ago.
good stuff though; looking forward to next season

Posted on 8/19/09 at 12:14 pm to Adam4848
good job adam, only thing I would add, would be Landry in right field, Mahtook in CF, Matty Ott as a possible starter, and Dishon might be a possible 3B/RF candidate
Posted on 8/19/09 at 12:15 pm to ProjectP2294
His dad push him to State. He really wanted to go to LSU. Even if he has to sit out a year,and do his rehab, it my help us down the line. When he is on top of his game, he can be really good. I hope it works out for Forrest,like I said he always wanted to go to LSU,and he may get his chance.
