Has a do not contact tag. There's a "Colton Book" twitter account that was created in June of 2025, that is following 4 people (all family members) and has 9 followers, and one of them is Josh Jordan. Posted on 6/9/25 at 3:50 pm to nicholastiger
I don't think it would've made a significant difference. He couldn't supplant Milazzo with a year in the program so he's definitely spending 2024 behind him and Travinski if he were a true freshman instead. He transferred to Bama only to perform even worse than he did last year and got all of 20 more PAs and played in 3 fewer games. If anything, reclassifying gave him an extra year of opportunity, but he didn't/couldn't take advantage of it.

That would be awesome. Bailey has a live arm, caught a game of his by mistakes he looked to have potential for a freshmen. Held down arizona st and texas tech

Simpson now on Book as well. Since i made that post, about a dozen coaches around the country have followed him. Something tells me those do not contact tags don't mean much

he had a 0.2 IP 8 ER outing that added a full run to his ERA.
So the ERA outside that horrific outing is pretty nice too something like 3.59 if I did the math right

The do not contact tag hides a lot of the personal information. So they can't just freely call them. They can still reach out. Most of the time through the agent.

We seem to be kicking the tires on erstwhile Mississippi State commit John Bingham, a INF/RHP from Kentucky who was recently cut loose by the new staff there.

Grant Taylor is being called up to the big leagues.

This is what it is. He used the same line in a coach's committee meeting but expounded upon it a little further.
Jay doesn't take being told no well, and he also doesn't like it when people assume guys show up to LSU because of the brand. Dude works his arse off. LSU is VERY lucky.

Then he is prob talking about guys like Kilen and Kent

Off topic, but pretty funny that Louisville made it to Omaha while Kilen got swept in a super.

We are on Cal Higgins now

I don't have any inside info here, just following the tea leaves like we have the past few years under this staff.

Was it just me or does McDonnell look super old? It looks like he’s aged 20 years since Covid.
