If Milam goes

Which I think he will, I hope Jay will take a look at Nate Castellon from Cal Poly should he consider entering the portal. Solid shortstop and classic table setter leadoff guy.

Im sure Jay Johnson will put a lot of stock into well known TD shite poster, TigerMac, when deciding on who to add to his roster.

Cole "CJ" Weinstein - SS
Huntington Beach HS(Newport Beach, CA)
Ht/Wt: 6-1, 190
B/T: L/R
Don't sleep on this guy in the recruiting class
Up for high school player of the year with Emerson who is committed to Texas
Weinstein is not getting the draft pub that Emerson is getting and LSU has a strong shot to get him to campus as he is not projected high in the draft at this point

Weinstein doesn’t even play SS for his high school. If we go for a portal SS I’d rather the guy from William&Mary

Does him coming back really improve his stock? People know what he can do. Not sure why some of yall think him and Curiel would even consider it.

You mean him? made more errors in practice plays than Milam this whole season and pops up BP pitching?

If Milam goes pro he’s insane. I know I’ll be downvoted to oblivion but Milam won’t ever sniff a starting spot in MLB short of being on a team like the 2011-13 Astros who were purposely trying to tank. Very rarely do you have a guy with his size make MLB much less be successful at that level. Modern day pitchers will eat him alive. Especially, considering he has to also make the jump to wooden bats. He has the size of Altuve. He doesn’t have the raw power, bat to ball skills, or speed that Altuve possessed. Chase Utley had much more power than Milam has. I’ll ask a serious question. What does Milam do that’s elite enough for him to hang around a MLB roster? He also needs to stop the switch hitting. He’s not good enough right handed to be trying to bat left handed. Hit .380 batting right handed in college then maybe he can try it.

If?!? He ain’t coming back, what’s he going to do next year that the Bigs have not seen.
Posted on 5/1/26 at 1:57 pm to Sissidog02
Maybe be an all conference performer, maybe win conference player of the year and be a finalist for the Dick Houser award? That’s something he hasn’t done that MLB hasn’t seen from him.

Man I'm glad none of you manage our team.

I’m not sure why Milam would stay.
As for Curiel, there’s not as much risk if he did since he wouldn’t be giving up leverage being a draftable sophomore. I don’t think Curiel stays either, but it’s a viable option for him if he wanted to for his own reasons.

Does he make it to campus? Jay also signed Konner Griffin.
Posted on 5/1/26 at 2:10 pm to Cuz413
Why would Ryan come back?

What exactly does your scouting assessment of him have to do with him going pro after this season and getting more guaranteed money?
Posted on 5/1/26 at 2:17 pm to LSUtigerNVegas9
hes pretty elite as a defensive player. he may lack the arm strength to be looked at as an elite prospect but dude is a natural infielder. he looks like he was born to take ground balls
Posted on 5/1/26 at 2:24 pm to TigerMac81
I heard Jay was absolutely going to bring him in. Only stipulation was, you in particular, have start talking mad shite about him the second he doesn’t hit a homerun every at bat.
That’s just what I heard bro.

Because he was projected around the 3rd rd before the year. His draft stock is falling. .282 avg with 7 HR and an OPS of .871. That’s not going to cut it with elite MLB pitchers. He’ll probably make a nice chunk from NIL for staying his Sr year as well as he can try to improve his draft stock to go in the 1st or maybe a compensatory pick late in the 1st rd. His slot bonus going in the 5th round would see him make between $300,000-$500,000. He could probably make around that in NIL.

If the 5 year eligibility rule passes as expected, Milam wouldn’t be giving up leverage either. I think it will just depend if a team hits their number for both players. Here’s hoping both want more money than the market will bear.
