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

Yea, mostly bc who knows what’s going to happen with smith. I think Dugas can be in impact guy at 3rd

Yeah, it was a pipe dream on Turang. A juco catcher that can actually frame and block pitches would be nice.

SUPPOSEDLY, that's what Brock Mathis brings.

Garza is more of an offensive player who can also catch. But ideally you'd get Willis in here and have Garza give you a 6-4 kid at first base, and then have Mathis as a backup catcher.

I think we're an infielder short with Turang not making it in.

I don't think you can carry Broussard, Hughes and Reid all on the same roster two years in a row.

We'll see what Dugas does. He could be part of the solution. But Bianco making 20 errors as a senior tells me he's an outfielder and not an infielder. So you're a man short there. They need an addition from somewhere.

I don't think he's ever played back there. His brother did, but he's always been at shortstop or third base as I understand it.

He has some speed. He stole 40 bases his junior year. That tells me he might be able to fill a hole in either right or left. But those 20 errors in the field this year scares the hell out of me.

Scone had Alden Cartwright (drop the Cartwright audio clip) and he said Paul promoted Micah Gibbs mostly because it was so late to go look for a hitting coach on short notice. So I expect them to find another Andy Cannizzaro this offseason.

I didn't think Gibbs did a bad job in 2017.

They scuffled a good part of the year but got better in the back third, and you could see some of them really develop. Deichmann became a lot better hitter, so did Papierski.

If they went back to Gibbs I'd be OK with it. At least he wouldn't be a rookie hitting coach like we've had the last two years.

But I think you need to go make a run at Tennessee Tech's hitting coach and bring him in. Based on the results over there he looks like a Dave Aranda that would do your program a world of good.

Yes... fuggg Aggie. Noah Naylor off the board and staying out of College Station.

Hope we can keep P Marceaux & OF Cabell.

What the draft is doing to Canizzaro's recruiting class at Mississippi State is nothing short of a human rights violation. What is that, four signees drafted in the top 57 and gone? Five?
