re: Offseason Baseball Roster Transition - 6/29 - Matt Beck to wear #8

B doughty May have to go the forshag route

I'm hoping that now with the draft rounds set, the mock drafts that come out will give us a better idea of who to expect to sign and who may not.

It would be great to get guys like Ty Floyd, Beck Way, and Blake Money on campus. All three could be weekend pitchers, with Way being the most ready. Money seems like the most likely to make it to campus based on prospect lists. The other two are right in the gray area.

As far as summer leagues go, there is still so much up in the air that I don't know if it's worth reporting on, but there are three guys scheduled to go to the Prospect League, 7 scheduled for the South Florida League, and 1 incoming freshman scheduled for the newly created Southeast Collegiate League. There are some guys that were scheduled for the Northwoods League, but that league is serious jeopardy of not playing (moreso than the others I mentioned).

I'm interested in where Dylan Crews lands. His stock was trending down at the beginning of the year and hoped for a big senior season to solidify a top 2 round projection he had coming into the year.

As you said Floyd, Drost, Millas, Thompson, Way would all be huge gets.

No matter the SEC will be much deeper next year.

BA has a way too early top 25 projection going into next year

I missed that on bianco, good to hear. Also looks like henry and cabrera are fringe players. I expect cabrera to sign and henry may come back. But he is close enough to where he wont shock me either way

Brody Miller just reported on Twitter that CJ Willis has entered the Transfer Portal.

Not surprising, but I still think he was about to break out. He's got a ton of talent, hopefully the change of scenery helps him put it together.

I did see in an Advocate article over the weekend that George and Beck have indicated they're coming back. They will not count against the 35 man limit. I updated the numbers in the OP to reflect Willis leaving.

Appreciate all the info. Please continue to update.

Man they should really allow a 5 or so man roster expansion this season

I think it would be an advantage for LSU to play a 60 game spring schedule by adding four midweek games. We have the pitching depth that wouldn't over tax the weekend pitchers and it would get the potential pro prospects additional experience and exposure.
More importantly, expanding the roster to 40 players would be more of an advantage, IMO. It would relieve the crunch of players needing a place to play, as well as accomplishing the same positives as increasing the number of games.
