Arkansas rostering former professionals on the baseball roster for the fall.

But we're the bad guys.

Zack Stewart. Played in the Pioneer League this summer.

ETA: I'm particularly interested in this mostly because of the bullshite LSU has had to endure the last couple weeks.

But also, to see the mental gymnastics from the a bunch of mental midgets as they try to explain why Indy Ball should be treated differently than other levels of professional baseball.

SEC professional athlete rules only apply to Football, Men’s & Women’s basketball

very strange

The NCAA still has a rule against professional players being eligible. That's why people keep having to go to court.

Is there any way to just get rid of the NCAA? What a fricking useless organization.

As bad as the NCAA is, and they've been absolutely terrible, whatever the next iteration is will be worse.

Paul Dufrene from '28 Curtis class visited Oklahoma St this past weekend.

ETA: Wiry 6'4-6'5 RHP in the low 90s with some junk. Played WR on the football team but has since started focusing on baseball. I expect him to be a nice recruit with some maturity and a few pounds on the frame. Good size, good athlete, works and competes hard. Can swing the bat a little, too.

I'm interested to see the way the coaching staff is listed tomorrow when they update the roster.

Last year they had brought in Bridgman and Nik McClaughry, but McClaughry was no longer with the program by the time the spring rolled around and there was never any coverage of it.

D1 Baseball ranked our transfer class 7th in the country.

I don't agree with their ranking, but that's not really all that important. They based it (at least in part) on their WAR metric that rewards volume over quality (WAR is a counting stat more than a rate stat, though it has elements of both). And their WAR metric may not even include pitchers.

But, I'm posting this here to document for later when people inevitably bitch about the team not playing well even though we had the best transfer class and the best recruiting class.

Well we didn't have the best transfer class, in the opinion of those most widely regarded as the experts.

Georgia and Tennessee are a couple of them, I don't remember all of them.

We only took 7 transfers, all the ones above us took more than that I think. Tennessee was #1, and with 11 transfers were still a relatively small headcount.

Tenner's class is going to somewhat hinge on the health of the NWst pitcher they signed

Even if he's great for them, I'm glad he didn't end up here. His brother is enough of a cancer to pass on and then the injury concerns only made it worse

And the health of the guy they got from South Carolina.

ETA: South Carolina was another one of the programs in front of us on the list. I could easily see having them at #1. They took basically half of Coastal's team and half of Wake Forest's team. The guys they got from Wake have some very high upside.

How can someone listen to or watch the press conference live?

It's usually streamed on youtube live. Failing that, it's usually posted later on by the Tigerbait people.

I think the plan is to run it on the official LSU Sports youtube channel though.
