These situations are nowhere near the same + 95% of people in this thread knew Milam would contribute day 1 so that makes no sense.


Coming out of fall practice there were very few people (including the coaches) that thought he would be an opening day starter at 2B

I'm guessing one of the position players they're referencing for A&M would be one of the Washington guys, but I don't know where they would put him.

That was my first thought. They can’t be selling playing time to these position players.

He’s also reporting Gators “heavily involved” with Fischer and Doyle. I’m guessing that’s just helping get there NIL deal with Tenn a little higher.

I also don't see that many big time arms left in the portal right now.

Connor Benge was committed to A&M in high school. He was cut loose after the coaching change. That's when we started evaluating him, which would mean Kelly was doing some of the eval.

I wonder if they're back in the mix for him.

Blake Cyr committed to Florida from Knoxville. Vitello isn't afraid to say no to bag chasers.

True but I think they actually need him. Vitello probably telling those guys they don’t need at that time.

Connor Benge seems to be committed.

His instagram bio says “LSU baseball” so that should be public soon. Also didn’t realize he’s up to 97-98 mph

That's good to hear. I really do think we were evaluating him while at LSUE and were going to take him after his sophomore year there. He just happened to go to Dallas Baptist right before his sophomore year started.

ETA: Waiting for some sort of announcement before adding him to the list, but clearly it looks like he's committed.

ETAA: Also, remember when Guidry was supposed to be hitting the portal? This commitment likely doesn't happen if he does.

There were at least a couple people who did, but I believe you're correct he wasn't one of them.

He never mentioned Guidry from what I remember. I think some posters assumed he was tied to Guidry based off of previous comments he made.
-pitchers dont like yeskie
-many pitchers would leave because of yeskie
-Griffin Herring would not be returning
-Current players mad at portal guys getting NIL deals
-players frustrated at lack of development
- Jay had a mess on his hands

These were some of his more specific thoughts

I'd be a little surprised at that one, yet another righty pitcher and he wasnt great at DBU this past season. 33 free passes in 33 innings with a .268 average against and 5.73 ERA.

Is he tearing up a summer league somewhere?

Is LSU in on Cade Fisher at all? We need a lefty something serious.

Stuff like this is why losing Moffett is a head-scratcher
