re: LSU Baseball 2022 (and beyond) Recruiting Thread (OLD THREAD, PLEASE STICKY NEW ONE)

These are the ones that will have big decisions to make:
Especially the west coast guys -how willing are they to come across the country to play college ball?
Keep in mind these kids will be scouted entire sr year coming up and they missed a year of development due to COVID in most cases

Kennedy - could be a weekend starter (if set on LSU) hopefully he honors that
Jones - MLB hitter presence, could see him going pro
Kling - I'll believe it when I see it with how highly rated he is, but that's good if he chooses LSU
Toman - do believe his dad knows benefits of going to college (Tanner's long time asst at South Carolina and some head coaching stops as well)
Guidry - I think he ends up at LSU, still TBD how the scouts see him, as a SS or RHP
Neal - is highly regarded even with reclassification
Romero - seems big on college as well and Johnson has known him since 8th grade when he offered him
Snelling - is another big time prospect
Crawford - probably goes pro
Noot - is on some lists but probably has a decent shot to get to LSU
Shores - I think in the end MLB will be too enticing to pass up
Siravo - blew up in Cape and that's where a lot of scouts form opinions
Have no idea on the rest of the juco guys - they probably make it to campus
Also, the one from Canada that has already been drafted in 16th round by Blue Jays - he could be one to watch

Konnor Griffin, the top 2025 player in the country, was at the scrimmage. His dad is the softball coach at Bellhaven in Mississippi. He’s being recruited by pretty much everyone. He is no hurry to commit though.

There were at least 6-7 at the scrimmage from the 2022 class.

An unbelievable recruiting weekend for the baseball team.

Griffin Herring was there as well. That's who I sat behind at Friday's scrimmage, along with Kennedy's parents.

DJ Primeaux will be signing with LSU tomorrow. He was one of two guys not mentioned in the official release or press conference the other day. He's another LHP and another in-state kid, for those that were bitching about those particular things.

(none of which know this thread exists and only heard about the recruiting class last week)

You hear anything about that Maryland lefty for 23?

I am going to assume the recruits were in the dugout during the game. I noticed a few new faces in there, turning their heads looking at the crowd turn out. To be fair, they could have been looking for babes. lol. Either way, I could tell they were impressed by it, by the look on their faces. Jobert's sister, I believe, was quite animated cheering on Jobert on his birthday. They were turning around smiling about that as well. I can't help but think we made quite an impression.

This is by no means a dig at the previous staff, but did they used to do stuff like this? I can't remember a recruiting weekend with this many recruits coming in.

I especially don't remember them wearing jerseys like a football or basketball visit.

There is just more of an emphasis on PR now. It's more visible.

Just having my son on a little league team and sitting in the stands was more than enough for me
