I don't have his age off hand but getting him to LSU early assures Mainieri and Dunn that he'll be on campus.
He turns 18 next month (he would not be a draft eligible Sophomore here).

No telling how early he may get drafted if he remains in High School for the 2018 draft.
My assumption, based on his Team USA performance among other things, is very high. The HS pitching crop this draft is extremely strong and he's one of the most polished in that group.
Getting him on campus early, to echo what you said, would guarantee that he pitches for LSU, so a benefit to LSU (and him obviously as this seems to be a lifelong dream of his), and allow him to start his pro career a year earlier than a normal 3 year college baseball player would, a benefit to him.

That's what I thought but didn't know for sure.
You either get him for two years in 2019 and 2020 or you have the possibility of having him for 2018, 2019 and 2020 if he enrolls early.

My exact thoughts. Having him on campus early is a win win for LSU. It doesn't matter how much or how little he would factor into the 2018 season he would have 6 months under the LSU coaching staff as well as advanced strength training before his high school class enrolls next June.
They need to do everything in their capacity to get him on campus.
