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

Anyone that is a sports fan knows it is an emotional roller coaster with highs and lows.

We will get a new coach and some portal guys and will be riding high again.

He was mowing down our guys in the fall. I was really disappointed to not see him this year

Also Aiden Moffett. He’s been up to 95-96 this year with a big breaking ball.

Yep. G Fontenot and Taylor both looked like closer/stopper material in scrimmages. Taylor flashed that some this year, but faded. I think Taylor has a huge upside if he can cut down on the walks - I know most would say he needs to develop a breaking ball but he has a curve and a change that weren't called very much. I have questions about not using off speed for certain guys - again, most would say their breaking balls suck, but they don't - it was non-use that had them lose feel.

Solid build, excellent student, has starter potential and the top pitcher in Mississippi. The fact that he picked the good guys over a Ms. school is a pretty big win.

I mean, that's never bad. Coach's son that values the college experience, siblings that thrived through the student-athlete experience, etc...all those things that point to a kid coming to school. Bottom line, money talks. We'll see.

I wasn't saying he was a coach's son. I was saying that kids always have these underlying things that lead you to believe that they will make it to campus.

And, I'm not saying he won't make it to campus. Just don't fool yourself by overthinking it. A person that values education is also educated and surrounded by educated people, and will help make an educated decision for their kid based on all of the details (not just the value of education).

Jay's pitch is great, in theory. We still have to see how it works out. NIL should help his pitch, but that's also still unknown.

I know that I do not have any credibility, but I just wanted to share some info I heard today. This came from someone that I trust very much and is good family friends with the Jobert’s.

According to his family, Brayden was given a heads up from Coach JJ that his every day spot in the lineup could be in jeopardy for next year. The main reason being his struggles against LHP. It was noted that while the power numbers were solid overall, much of the production came during midweek games and the consistency in SEC play is tough to overlook.

I asked where does that have him leaning for his future and was told that JJ suggested strongly considering taking any opportunity that presents itself regarding the draft.

So, that’s not to say the kid won’t decide that he still wants to be a Tiger and comes back to compete and earn his spot, but don’t be surprised if he signs as a late round pick or an undrafted free agent.

Again, I’m not pretending to have sources or anything like that. Was just something I was told today from someone I talk LSU baseball with nearly every day and wanted to share with you guys.

Whether he returns next year or moves on, it was really cool to see a local kid work his way in to purple and gold and do what he did this year. Had to be a dream come true and I know I speak for everyone when I say thank you to Brayden!

Not really surprising if true. Kid went into huge slumps, but you cant deny his power. He probably should go. If not, id think he would consider transferring to a lower level d1 school, like ull or tulane. Where he would surely crack the lineup
