So at this point Schmidt confirmed he's not going to sign MLB, but any idea when we'd find out if he will actually come to LSU? Could it theoretically take until the winter?

Updated to add Logan Schmidt. Roster increased by one, up to 40 players.

LSU baseball’s 2027 recruiting class received another significant boost Saturday as prized left-handed pitching prospect Logan Schmidt publicly reaffirmed his commitment to the Tigers on social media.
Schmidt, one of the nation’s top high school pitchers in the 2026 class, posted “Let’s Geaux” in a combo post with the official LSU Baseball account on Instagram, capping a whirlwind few weeks following the Major League Baseball Draft. He posted the same words and graphic on X.

A post shared by Logan Schmidt (@loganschmidt27)
The California standout was selected by the Cleveland Guardians with the 59th overall pick in the second round of the 2026 MLB Draft. However, the two sides were unable to reach an agreement before the signing deadline, allowing Schmidt to honor his collegiate commitment instead. Reports indicated there was a sizable gap between Schmidt’s bonus expectations and Cleveland’s available signing pool, leading the left-hander to pass on beginning his professional career.
Schmidt’s reaffirmation removes any lingering doubt about his plans and further strengthens what is expected to be one of the nation’s premier recruiting classes under LSU head coach Jay Johnson. Schmidt was weighing the option to go the junior college route.
Regarded as one of the elite prep arms in the country, Schmidt possesses a lively fastball, advanced secondary pitches and the type of high-end upside that made him one of the highest-drafted high school pitchers in this year’s class.
His decision to stick with LSU continues the Tigers’ recent success in retaining top draft-eligible signees, giving Johnson another potential frontline arm for the 2027 season.
With Schmidt now publicly doubling down on his commitment, LSU appears set to welcome one of the most talented left-handed pitching prospects in the country to Baton Rouge next summer.

Tucker is going to go to Mcclennan for the fall and spring to get the guaranteed playing time. Expect him to be back in the fall of 27
