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

Any idea of when the Jay presser will be?

Those previous two dates you mentioned were the start of the fall semester. First day of classes. That would put it being August 26th this year.

This was a fun thread. Wish the 2025 season started tomorrow…

Figure I’d post this here. It would probably get lost on the main board

Not sure if mentioned, but apparently Grant Fontenot may be in our transfer class.
64analytics just posted a graphic containing every player who transferred in and he was listed.

Sounds like the player rejoining the roster is Grant Fontenot.

64 analytics included him in our class as a transfer and his profile pic on Twitter is back to being LSU

Hmm. Simon’s HS coach said he was trying to work his way back as well to be a pitcher. Wonder if we take both. Simon was up to 95 in a recent bullpen

Where has Fontenot played since leaving LSU?

Missed that. Connor Simon? Would be wild to retire from arm issues as a fielder then come back as a pitcher
