I never understood taking Braswell. If Jay is worried about scaring people off because of numbers that makes taking Braswell an even bigger head scratcher
His glove alone makes him valuable. Anything after that is a bonus. Jay may like the potential to coach him up offensively. Did a bang-up job doing so with Milazzo.

Has anyone heard anything recently about if Reaves will be coming here, or if he’ll be staying in JUCO next year?
That could also possibly factor into the decision about Hill.

You guys are really devaluing Braswell. I mean I’m not saying he’s a world beater, but any time you have a chance to take a top 100 prospect from his recruiting class you do it. He’s a plus infielder with two years of SEC experience. The potential for power is there with his bat as well. Let’s quit acting like this is some juco transfer.

I don't get it either.
Not taking a shot at Milam because he's obviously very talented, but those same guys writing off Braswell have already penciled in Milam as a starter, yet Braswell was much higher ranked coming out of high school and has two years of SEC experience under his belt

Just look at how crucial the super experienced guys we had this year were, and I’ll exclude the stars like Crews and Morgan
Beloso, Dugas, Milazzo, Travinski, Cooper. You know the names.
You need guys that have been through the wars on your team. Braswell fits the mold and is a strong addition.

I say let it play out it's not just SS that needs to be filled it's also 2nd base. I hope Jay can bring in SS Hill from Arizona State. You need to realize injuries play a factor during the year as well. Trust in Jay!!!

I feel like this is last offseason all over again when everyone just assuming Guidry was taking SS from Thompson.
Now there's people frustrated because we took Braswell "too early" which may cause us to miss on Luke Hill. We're the national champs, if Hill doesn't want to compete for a starting spot then best of luck

Hill 100 percent wants to play at LSU. They’re saying taking Braswell early caused the room to be too crowded to take Hill now
Posted on 7/13/23 at 7:56 pm to Northshore_LSU
Dumb inquiry...Is there not another landing spot for any of these three, position wise?
Posted on 7/13/23 at 8:41 pm to wfallstiger
I think they could play 3rd but obviously we have Tommy White there
Posted on 7/13/23 at 8:50 pm to Northshore_LSU
It's White's money year. He's already proven he can play 3B. He just needs to hit this year, whether that's at 3B, 1B, or DH. I think Jay will get the best guys in that he can, and decide who plays where later. But, again, he does have to consider that next year's decisions can impact the following year and beyond. If Braswell was still in the portal right now, I still think Jay would go after him - the question becomes whether he does still go after another MIF with Milam on campus and Braswell in the boat, and also whether he goes after a rental or a guy that will be here for a few years. I'll trust whichever he decides to do.

If MIF Luke Hill comes to LSU he has 2 years left before he's draft eligible.
Posted on 7/13/23 at 8:55 pm to DRock88
Is nippolt competing for a spot this fall? candidate to get processed if we take Hill?

Transfer Athlete Scholarships
It would seem that LSU would have to honor whatever scholarship he has been given regardless……..so at what point do you stop bringing depth pieces?

I agree about White. I really think he’s projected mostly at 1B from all the mocks I see. I personally really like Braswell. I think the bay needs to improve and it will under Jay, and I think he is an elite defender. I still think though that you have to recruit the best and let them compete for the spots though. I can see why people are saying the MIF is crowded and concerns of guys like Guidry or Milam staying, but Hill is the most proven at the plate so I would still say he should be a take.

I don’t doubt this thought, but that would be a crazy reason to not take him. Not sure what the roster numbers look like now, but I’m willing to bet hill is better than most, if not all of our MIF signees. You should be able to make room somehow to get a guy like him.
