“I would like to thank Coach Sudduth and Meridian CC for the opportunity. But after a lot of prayers and talking with my family and coaches I have decided to continue my academic and athletic career as an LSU Tiger. “

Good choice! I think I've decided to go on ahead and book Omaha.

A 5 tool catcher is a rare breed.

Credited with a 115 mph exit velo and 1.87 POP time according to a tweet around the time he committed to Meridian CC.

I was told he doesn’t have the grades or the act score. Kids a real talent but I think that’s why the juco route was being taken. Coach Johnson must have a plan set in place to get him qualified and on campus.

I was trying to figure out how this talent was headed to Meridian CC. If true, it makes sense now.

Nah, I think he was going juco just so he could play a season and go right back to the draft.

I'm also pretty sure Coach wouldn't have taken the step to get him if he couldn't make the grades.

Yep. Originally didn’t want to wait 3 years to play pro ball.

My best friends son plays on the live oak team. I am only telling you what I was told before all this news broke. Again I’m sure there is a plan to get him here and playing but I’m pretty sure it’s gonna take some work.

I watched Priester play a handful of times this year and was impressed, the kid can play for sure

He went completely undrafted. One year at Meridian CC and on to the draft seems like poor strategy.

LSU, it seems is getting a good one, but Smoke225’s post makes a lot more sense.

BTW, if he signed with MCC, how can he now commit to LSU?

He was a Top 200 prospect. Probably didn't get drafted because of signability after a certain round.
