re: LSU baseball update from Coaches Committee meeting Tuesday night

Don't always assume kids are "cut". Typically schools have exit meetings with players after the Fall. Some are flat out cut, some are encouraged to go JC but it isn't necessarily a mandate, some are told playing time will be sparse and choose to leave for more playing time, etc. I doubt our staff wanted to lose Powell, but what position did anyone who watched any Fall practices see him actually playing next year? 1st(Katz), Catcher (Ross)? He did have good offensive games but was also inconsistent at the plate. You only have one DH slot - possibilities already include Rhymes, Chinea, McMullen, Sciambra, Laird, Moore.... I'd bet the kid just wants to play ball and is going to land somewhere where that will happen. Jackson wouldn't have seen any playing time. I've heard Rivett had issues...
