Why are we going to get a ss from Texas state , no offense but hitting 300 at TX state is going to be maybe 200 in sec play. You need guys how have seen 95 consistently I hope this is a home run and I have egg on my face I just dont see it.

How many guys that meet your criteria are in the portal?

Im not buying anything out of the portal anymore until I see them play sec competition. Love JJ but between this and football im tired of getting my hopes up for nothing.

No kidding that OBP is trash…and at Texas State. Hoping for the best..-albeit hope is not a strategy

I don’t think it’s trash. I’m guessing Jay is getting him partly on potential and talent.

He’s not on their 2026 roster so hard to find stats, but I did see that he had 13 bombs in 186ABs, so 1 HR for every 14.3 ABs this year.

For reference, Jared Jones hit 1 HR for every 10.5 ABs in his LSU career. I’ll take it.


Good info.

Yeah I don’t know what we’re doing right now. Both pickups are pretty bad so far.


I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for. You aren't going to see starting SEC shortstops in the portal very often. This guy is already a plus defender and hits for power, He fills a need and has the potential to be a very good player for LSU. Thats about all you can ask for out of the portal

Every projection I have seen on this guy is he will be a top 40 pick in the 2027 MLB draft. It is not every day you get a chance to take a top 50 projected draft pick. I trust CJJ here.

It also has to be mentioned that many people are sour on the portal players due to how the ones we brought in this season performed. Each and every one of them are completely forgetting the fact that we had this guy commit last night before the Super Regionals started. There are currently 16 teams behind the 8 ball not able to contact or sign any of these players. We were one of those 16 teams last season and ended up being the last one able to sign potential transfers. Let the man COOK.

I just feel that you put Ruckert at Texas State he could do as well. Especially if you let him strikeout damn near 30% of his at bats.

And he doesn’t fight his teammates.

While I'm not exactly enamored with Park's K rate, it's only 24%, not 30%.

Reminds me of last summer when we said Jay is stacked from all the talent we’re compiling

Why can't teams contact anyone if they are still playing ?
