re: LSU Baseball 2026 (and beyond) Recruiting Thread

quote:

---

Tucker has already posted he’s on campus with his locker

Not sure if that means he’s for sure staying here but it seems to be an indication

Unfortunately we've had several kids in the past move onto campus and still end up signing. To me that doesn't mean a whole lot.

Baseball America's final update to the BA500:

LSU affected players and where they were in the previous ranking vs where they are now. Not a ton of movement. Davis and Milam were ranked in previous iterations but are not because they withdrew.

Last night I saw John Pearson and Jake Brown leaving Superior off Highland with 2 other kids I didn’t recognize but figured were likely also associated with baseball program. One was tall with a mustache, who I figured was an incoming signee. Other one could have been anybody. They drove off in a suited up truck. Indigestion followed later, but not sure about them.

No Santi Garcia?

My opinion is that he's going to get somewhere in the $300k range and sign pro, and probably go to Low A as a starter.

On a different note, Wesley Roberson is being touted as a guy who will go earlier than most people expect. And I'm seeing him tied to the Cardinals. Cardinals have a lot to spend and it looks like they may go a little HS heavy this draft and move money down the board to do it.

Possibly not coincidentally, Roberson goes to the same HS Adam Wainwright did.

Here's Hunt's take on the class based on convos he's had:

LINK

Our transfers will have either gotten injured or completely failed in order for them to see significant time. Jay is not really a guy that changes the lineup much during the week.

If Ruckert and Patrick are going to stick it out for this season, then they might as well stay for their junior year. After this next season, we'll have 3 open IF spots and 2 OF spots.

I guess the same could be said for the incoming freshman infielders

I know players these days don't think like that, but the time for Ruckert and Patrick to jump ship was this year when the transfers rolled in

My question is if freshman like Loew, Martinez, and Tucker make it to campus, How much would they play?

---

They would have to be really good. Each infield spot has a backup from last year on the 2 deep.

Loew hit like .297 last year as a Sr in HS(2A i think?). Has some loud tools but will have to swing it better than that.

With Martinez i think if you had asked Jay if he thought this would be his final form as a Sr when he committed in Nov 24', he'd probably say no.


Kinda of reminds me of the Kucherak and Roelling situation. At the end of the day, the SS's that Milam has ran off is kind of impressive.

Kucherak
Roellig
David Hogg
Mikey Ryan
Ethan Clauss
