re: LSU Baseball 2018 (and beyond) Recruiting Thread *Old Thread*

Yeah, we've got some unreal talent in the 2018 class lined up, but it's going to be tough to hold onto it. 2018 is a loaded class overall from a draft standpoint as well, so I can see a lot of really talented guys making it to college because of so many supremely talented guys taking up all the bonus money.

Back on Allen though, it hurts from the standpoint that he could have been an immediate impact bat in the lineup and basically was blank slate from a position standpoint. He really could slot in anywhere on the diamond. We've got 17 guys remaining in the class. Only 3 of them are non-catcher position players, Webre, Pearson, and Hughes. Reyes and Cabrera are both guys that could do both. Storz could potentially as well. But Storz and Cabrera are probably more likely to sign than step on campus at this point.

Some other news on Nate Pearson, the big JUCO righty, I've put him in the high draft risk category because at a JUCO showcase he was at the weekend before committing, he hit triple digits on the radar gun.
