re: LSU Baseball 2021 (and beyond) Recruiting Thread - OLD THREAD

Beck and George have both expressed the want to come back.

I think Hughes will get caught up in the numbers...I need to come up with a list.

Agreed. I think this heavily benefits some mid majors who may get some fringe starters/backups at P5 schools if given a one time transfer with no restrictions.

Not sure we’re see major shuffling between major programs.

Idk if it would make sense to, but any knowledge of LSU recruiting any different grad transfers?

Transfer season is up and running, obviously, and we're starting to see a little bit of movement on 2020 recruits flipping to JUCOs.

In the last few days Wabash Valley JC in Illinois (quickly becoming a talent hotbed) picked up a transfer from Coastal Carolina (Kyle Westfall), a former Florida commit (Catcher Kishon Frett), and a former Miami commit (SS Bryan Muniz).

There is going to be a glut of talent at some of these JUCO powerhouses. It will filter down to some of the others as well, but there are some JUCOs that are kind of the biggest fish in their pond and they will just look like juggernauts. Wabash Valley is one of them.

In Texas and Florida, everyone is going to be good. But there are only like 2 good JCs in Illinois. Wabash Valley gets players from all over the country and John A Logan gets players from Illinois, Missouri, and Kentucky primarily.

His brother is a coach at morehead state in Kentucky. That could be a landing spot if he does leave.

Feel like a few Texas schools that are going to cash in are Texas State and TAMUCC (the girlfriend's alma mater that's respectable and I've seen a few times).

As far as Beck and George, I hope Beck returns given his value for depth in the bullpen. I'm indifferent about George.

ProjectP...
1. What's your thoughts on guys like B. Doughty and E. Walker hanging em up?
2. What do you think the odds of M. Hampton Jr. sticking to football only from here on out?
3. Besides D. Cabrera and C. Henry, do you see D. Fontenot or anyone else getting drafted? (Depending on how many rounds the draft ends up being.)

If it goes ten rounds I could see those two and possibly Garza being drafted.

Labas? That’s surprising to me. I never would’ve guessed he was a top 10 round guy with his limited body of work. My knowledge in draft prospects is admittedly very lacking though.


Btw this has nothing to do with this thread but I was talking to a buddy and we were both drawing a blank on a name.

Who was the defensive minded shortstop who came in either Bregmans last year or the year after he left. Everyone kind of thought he was the heir apparent at SS but it never worked out and he transferred.


Byrd keeps popping into my head. Is that right?

Overly impressed by your baseball knowledge. Got to see Itchy play UT in 2018 at Whataburger and last season when I drove the gf alumnus to TX State to see them. They had a few pretty good OFs too. Geaux 'Ders.

I'm an umpire in CenTex and got to ump Lake Travis HS behind dish in 2017 and in 2018 behind dish. Been umpiring since freshman year of college in 2003 and seeing Beatty's plate approach as a SO was unreal. Was pretty impressive seeing Beatty and Lewis together on same team in addition to rest of team. Chatted up LSU with Lewis in 2017 game given he was already committed. Was able to make it to the Dell Diamond to watch final 5 innings of state championship game between LTHS and Southlake Carroll after umpiring a college showcase tourney that entire day.

Haven't visited this board in very long time and took quarantine to do it, but glad I've made a return.

A couple juco guys we were looking at committed elsewhere within the past couple days. Adam Tulloch was a d2 bounce back, lhp in the upper 90s. I don’t know how he’s we were recruiting him lately. He committed to West Virginia.

Roberto Pena was a Florida bounce back that we recently got on, he committed to south Florida. 3b/1b/DH guy.
