Like Project said, I don't think it is a confidence thing. They don't really have the information they need yet to show confidence that they will or will not make it here.

The guys you named are likely for sure guys. Only one I'm not quite 95%+ on yet is Chase Shores.

But any of the 11 can be picked in the top 4 rounds and end up getting the money they are comfortable taking depending on what teams take them and what their bonus pool money is and other slot money they can save. Just hard to gauge right now. These conversation will ramp up and be more fun with more speculation once the draft happens or if anyone decides to pull out the draft like Crews did.

Jackson Linn from Tulane is in the portal. He's not a local kid, he's from Boston. I don't think we need to add a portal outfielder, but he's going to be an in demand guy.


Same with Ethan Groff
I don’t think Jay pursues but a name to monitor I guess

I would have thought the same and agreed with you up until about 2 minutes ago. Looks like we're in contact.

ETA: With Groff.

Jack Walker is transferring from Mississippi State

Can everyone shut the frick up about him now?

ETA: Davis Meche is in the portal as well.

All the former Barbe players should just go to McNeese.

Can someone get this to Jordy Culotta, stat?

I remember him railing against Mainieri and LSU for failing to recruit the kid and allowing him to slip through their hands to MSU.

Don't think LSU will touch that. Need pitchers who can contribute right away. With the way he pitched for State this year, I'd say he needs some time to develop a little bit.

well to be fair, he chose the better baseball school at the time and had everything you would want to see in a HS pitcher.

NC state INF Tommy White has entered the portal

I’d expect us to pursue hit .362 as a freshman

Looks like the early rumor is wants to go back closer to home somewhere in Florida. Guess we will see if that is the case or some NIL money gets his attention somewhere.

you're leaving out the important part...27 homers as a freshman. Just stupid numbers this year.

Everything except arm strength, injury history and a projectable frame?

you mean the one that was throwing 92-93 a year off tommie johns? usually with a proper strength program, better nutrition and a program focused on his defecient areas along the speed/strength curve this can be 95+ within a year of focused training.

quote:

injury histor


TJ doesnt mean shite anymore and plenty of players come back stronger than they were before. Key is getting the kids to the 90mph formula quickly while becoming more effecient movers and get them understanding full on arm care.

quote:

projectable frame


5-11 and 190 coming out of high school, thats over the 2.5 bodyweight fomula and below the 3x ideal weight.

so again not projectable? pitchers dont need to be 6'3.

you act like LSU didnt offer him and im sure you know everything.


none of the reasons you mentioned are why he is leaving state. most of thier freshman class is leaving. He is leaving because they kept tinkering with his mechanics and he struggled to throw strikes in the spring walking 13 batters in 14 innings.
