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

Gotcha, bit of a dumb question lol, apologies.

Looks like Beck Way was a reliever at Belmont Abbey (NCAA Div. 2) since he had 0 starts, 3.98 ERA. NW Fla State had one of the best team ERAs last year so that should boost his skills nicely.

I believe Wednesday is the beginning of the early signing period. So we may see LOIs start to roll in that day. I know things can remain in flux for the class pretty much through August, but it's still a milestone each year.

I also think we might be close to another JUCO commit for this class.

So far I've seen Twitter pictures of Crews, Safford, and Milligan signing with LSU. I'll update this post as I see more. Feel free to post what you see, I won't be able to post pictures.

-Safford
-Milligan

-Murray
-Edwards
-Drost
-Floyd
-Money
-Romo

I am usually jumping ahead of myself but I have a question for you, if you don't mind. It looks like we will lose a lot of pitchers from the 2020 team. Of the new signees, which pitchers do you see impacting 2021, assuming they are not drafted?

---

We know for certain we will lose Beck and George, because they're seniors. I feel pretty confident that we will lose Henry and Fontenot. AJ Labas would probably go with a good year. And then Vietmeier, Kaminer, and Storz would probably all go if drafted (speculation of course).

As far as the new recruits that would fill those gaps, we would hope to keep at least one of Money, Floyd, and Murray. And hopefully at least two of Millas, Fowler, and Way. As far as projecting starters vs relievers, I have no idea.

And I'm still hoping we add a JUCO LHP to the class before it's all over.

I feel good about the other guys in the class making it to campus, Mott, Hellmers, Edwards, Coleman, and Rice.

One wildcard is Brody Drost, who could be a two way player. But we're still gun shy about letting that happen for some reason, so I'm waiting to see where he's projected when he steps on campus. My feeling is OF.

One of those early commits...as a 15-year-old freshman with size. Was good during travel ball before high school. Haven't seen him do much at St Louis. Maybe he's got through the roof measurables. Its what the coaches see, I guess.

Thanks Project, much appreciated.

I think we can add Walker and Hilliard to the draft eligible pitchers. We will need a strong 2020 class for depth in 2021 and for starters in 2022 when we lose Marceaux and Hill. Let's hope the draft is kind to us.

Getting back to 2020. I am really excited about this year coming. Our pitching is talented, deep and experienced. We have a lot of power hitters and a hitting Coach.

It looks like LSU picked up a commit from Tucker Toman, the son of Middle Tennessee head baseball coach Jim Toman. He's an infielder in the 2022 class. He was previously committed to Oregon.

Apparently, per the thread a little ways down the page. I've kind of faded out of following football recruiting like I used to, so I didn't know there was a connection.
