You do realize that they carry more than 34 man roster thanks to the grandfather clause, right?

Yes. My understanding is that was capped at 2 as designated student athletes. We are currently carrying 38 on roster but some of those may be injuries. Still it’s less than the 42 ish we’ve carried in the past.

There is no cap on DSAs. LSU gave Jay an allowance for 40 roster spots.

Pitching & Hitting. Improve that and we will turn this season around.

In this era we are never going to be able to prevent attrition. These guys want guaranteed playing time which Jay can't give considering what we return/get in the portal/freshman class every year. Even when a guy gets considerable playing time the next year isn't a guarantee (e.g. Larson leads team in hitting in SEC 2024, very limited time last year).

I stand corrected. Then we just missed on some of these guys. Seems we recruited a bunch of pull side power hitters. Brown, Curiel, and Miliam can go the other way. The rest can’t.
