Woley was solid every time he got a chance here. Wasn’t he actually just kicked off the team?


It was reported that he transferred. He was suspended indefinitely at the time. It's one of those: "Was he kicked off or did he transfer? Yes."

It's probably a little bit of both. I don't think there was any doubt he could hit. He may have been an option to back up Feduccia, plus DH, maybe 1B as well. Maybe a look at 2nd. He's committed a ton of errors in JUCO, but he's played every infield position this year, I think. He's built like a Jordan brother, so I think I would have enjoyed watching him play shortstop for his JUCO team.

Several articles stating he may head to college if not selected in the first round and he’s been committed since he was like a freshman. I remember seeing pics of him with bregman when Bregman was in college.

I'm starting to get really excited about JUCO transfer Saul Garza. I'm hoping that we can hold onto him after the draft. He's played C, 1B, and DH for his JUCO team. He plays in one of the more competitive JUCO leagues out there.

He's hit 19 home runs, he's still striking out around 24% of the time, but he's improved a little bit over the course of the season. He also would come in as a sophomore. He's been drafted before, so he's on the scouting radar. But he could be a big time power threat for the offense next year.

He could be a great 1B in LSU's lineup a year from now.

A really exciting and deep class from a pitching standpoint. A very top heavy class from a position point of view.

Hoping they can keep at least 1 or 2 out of Turang, Cabell, and Willis.

Bianco and DiGiacomo will be solid 3-4 guys, if you pair that with a couple of elite talents and then you start setting up for championship runs.

Project,
Is Watson eligible for the draft this year? If so, who is going to replace him of the recruits you have evaluated?

He is eligible and likely to sign, in my opinion. As far as likely to replace him, cabrera will probably move to center since Duplantis will also be gone.

Webre will probably be one OF starter. The other one could be DiGiacomo, Slaughter (my opinion), Dugas (could play OF, but probably 2B). I just don't think Cabell will make it to campus.

DiGiacono runs a sub 6.5 60. He will probably start out at CF. I don’t see Cabell making it to campus either

I think DiGicomo starts in CF, Cabrera will slide over to RF.

If he can hit 19 homeruns and hit around .300 I dont give a damn how much he strikes out

he hit 4 more this past weekend to finish the regular season with 23.

.391/.503/.928 slash.

I tracked his 10 game moving strikeout rate over the course of the season. The highest 10 game average was 35.3%. The lowest was 14%. His last 10 games was 16.7%. After about the first 20 games total, his 10 game strikeout rate really started to improve.

ETA: Fixed an error I had. Also, when looking up his stats I ran across the Tennessee commit from Crowder JC, Aaron Ashby. K leader for D1 JUCO with 139 Ks in 66 innings. Absurd.

Anything on Sturges at Howard? Looks like he had a huge year also, appears to have been with TCU originally.

Looks like he's going to Texas Tech, with another one or two kids from Howard. They also have guys going to Tennessee, ULL, Arizona State, and like 4 players (including Cole McKay) going to Abileine Christian.

San Jacinto has a ton of guys committed all over the place too. I think Blair Frederick is going to UNO if I remember correctly.

Honestly if he could maintain that kind of split with 23 homers then he could still strike out 35% of the time. Im not one of the guys who thinks striking out is the end of the world

Are you going off a pre draft list? I thought you knew how college recruiting worked.

The guy is an idiot that is just ruining baseball threads. He makes a comment about us not getting guys to campus and then says Mississippi State has a better recruiting class than we do. Yes, they're bringing more talent in because their two first round pitchers are going to pass up the draft but we aren't going to get any of our guys to campus.

Look man I don’t understand why you are attacking me. I never called u an idiot and then you just decide to come at me like this? All I’m saying is that they have more on their pre draft board than us
