Long time lurker. Appreciate the work that you and others do here for several years and figured I could try and contribute rather than mashing refresh on this thread 1,000 times a day.

He doesn't have a roster number yet. But I'm pretty sure he was on the Combine list, so I think he just hasn't shown up to the league yet.


Ashton Larson is definitely at the combine. Saw a video yesterday of him taking some BP and another tweet saying he was the first homer of the combine to land in the pool in RCF.

Rogers hinting at Burns hitting the portal a little in his recent video:

I don't know if he's hearing things as well or if he's just seeing the same things we saw on their board. I'd doubt he would mention something just from message board fodder though

The ball FLIES at their ballpark so that may skew his numbers, but I've noticed he is off to a hot start in the CCL as well

Manieri used to put SS’s at every position; Johnson is going to put 1B at every position lol

Right. Don't need him to show out over there. Like you mentioned earlier in the thread, him agreeing to go play at that summer ball league seems to show he definitely has college in his mind. Hopefully will take a lot to get him away from LSU.

Just on another combine note, I went through the list of invitees and the following was LSU related:

Jake Brown
Garrett Edwards
Ty Floyd
Cameron Johnson
Ashton Larson
Christian Little
Steven Milam
Blake Mitchell
Tre Morgan
Paul Skenes
Grant Taylor
Jordan Thompson

Not sure why no Crews on the list.

MLB Draft Combine

This link brings you to the website covering the combine for anyone interested.

Jared Jones showed out there last year and wound up on campus, so it's not the end of the world there. Now Misiorowski on the other hand...

I know Skenes is on the list, but either he won't attend or just do his measurables. No reason for Skenes or Crews to work out at that

Re Olson: Yep, he did commit to Austin Peay, I missed it. It had not been announced anywhere online that I could find and D1 Baseball doesn't have it updated in their portal tracker. It's several posts down on his Twitter.

Justin Loer on Hunt Palmer right now

-Jay Johnson reached out within hour of entering the portal
-Visited during Super Regional. Sat by Josh Jordan’s wife by the dugout
-Didn’t have a school list predetermined
-Jay is very easy to talk to
-Looking to start, LSU sees him as a starter
-No pitching coach was only question mark. Was assured by Jay and Josh Jordan they’re hiring a great coach
-Environment was electric in Super Regional, played a big factor
-Pitching lab at LSU is really cool, but athlete dining and diet programs were a huge factor
-Says he has a heavy, sinking low 90s fastball and wipe out slider from 3/4 LH slot. Mixes in a change up.
-Will not pitch in Cape Cod, taking summer off to rest his arm. Will arrive at LSU early to work out with LSU S&C
-Justin Jefferson is his favorite football player being a Minnesota native.

Really good interview.

2023 RHP from California Dillon DeSpain committed to Houston. He was a Long Beach decommit that we were looking at.

This something the staff has been missing, IMO.

I should mention, he said he believes he can add a lot of velocity and has a lot of frame to fill out. That’s why the dining and diet programs excites him.

Let the baw eat.

Because there is no need for him to attend. Surprised that Skenes is going to be honest.

Vandy SS Parker Noland just entered the portal. Is a graduate transfer though so not sure how much eligibility is left. Hit .277 with 9 HRs this year.

That is why I was saying not sure why he isn't on the list. That is who was invited. None of them at LSU right now will be attending. This combine is going on right now. It ends this Sunday.

Wyatt Langford and Rhett Lowder is on the list too. There is no reason for any of them to do anything there.

Jay probably has a guy on staff that just sits in an office hitting refresh on the portal.
