re: LSU Baseball 2024 (and beyond) Recruiting Thread OLD THREAD

Ole Miss just had 2 Junior pitchers drafted

Last pick of the draft was Mac Rose from McLennan JC in Texas. He's a guy I've wanted us to recruit. No clue if he plans to sign.

Awesome job by the social media department

The competition for DH at-bats is going to be intense.
