On another note, Drake Amedee...2026 pitcher for BM was set to go to LSUE but is going to SLU now. I really, really like the kid. He was used as BM's game 2 guy but I think he was their best arm. Up to 94 with a plus slider/cutter. Around 6'2 and 200 with room to build, and knows how to pitch. Very competitive. No hit Pineville in the playoffs. He was on the mound for the Catholic marathon.
He reminds me of a taller, more wiry, but slightly less athletic Brennan Stuprich, who coincidentally pitched at SLU and ended up a late round pick by the Yanks last year.

Someone on a different board said Louque is scheduled to be here next year, 26-27.
I like hearing this. He's a ball player. I'll have to ask around, but I wonder if he's gotten on the mound any recently or plans to.
He's busy finalizing the Easton Royal flip. Give him a few days.
I'm as disgusted as anyone else, but let's see what he does next year before throwing him to the curb. History says he will make adjustments, with or without a change in the arms he has to work with.
And I say the same about whoever's decision it was to be so twitchy with in-game pitching changes (and often) that may have contributed to things.

I remember Yamaguchi from the Little League World Series. He won it with Hawaii the year before or after Eastbank won it if I remember correctly. Get him and Marshall Louque in here.

Believe me, I understand.
Very banged up on offense/defense, but not so much on the mound. I think almost every (maybe every) starting position player was banged up or lost. Moore was lost on the mound, Evans was banged up, and Schmidt ended up a scratch late in the season but we were otherwise healthy on the mound. We just absolutely sucked on the mound, except for a few outstanding performances along the way. I'm normally not that blunt, but it is what it is.

All pipe dreams, but football and basketball boosters have come up with a lot of money for those rosters. You have to think this season would be the one to really shake up the baseball boosters, albeit maybe not as deep of pockets as those other programs and other variables go into the baseball draft.

Leblanc just seems like such a huge miss.
I hope we take a good look at some of the guys on the Delgado, LSU, and even Nunez rosters before making that mistake again. I hate to say it but it actually seems like arrogance that we don't. None of the guys really pop off the page for me, but I'm not an expert evaluator.
Mama Milam posts here
I can think of 3-4 that may apply to. Is it more than that? I'm not counting guys that are out of eligibility or could leave for pro ball.
Expecting poor weather tomorrow, so I grilled some burgers and deer sausage in a misty rain and made a potato salad. Merica.

This OU team was loaded. I'm glad to see some new blood in OKC, though. OU will be back and better than ever next year. They bring back alot without even looking at their recruits and transfers.

With money stretched thin there'll need to be disaster season(s) for a coaching change.
Torina would have to be caught in a scandal to get rid of her right now. Better chance of her retiring, but also unlikely.
Aidan Flinn is very intriguing but he's playing in his home state so I would think that could be a hard pull.

Sheerin also showed this week that, if he can extend now that he’s put his injury in the rear view, he could also be a legit starter candidate. When he’s on, he has elite stuff.
I'd be shocked if Sheerin came back.

Why the hesitation on moore?
I guess because he's draft eligible and came here for 1 and done. While the injury almost certainly brings him back to campus, he could still choose to move on.
quote:
If we go get 2 lock starters, at least one of those two won’t be here next year. Possibly both. They aren’t going to take demotions before their money seasons start. That’s just reality.
I’m not saying Jay shouldn’t explore bringing in an experienced starter, but some of you need to wake up. I’ve seen people here talking casually about just moving Evans back to the pen as if it doesn’t even occur to them that he would almost certainly leave to be a lock starter somewhere else.
So yes, no one should be guaranteed anything and Jay has a job to do. But there would be consequences to some of the portal decisions people here are advocating.
You could quote my entire post. I said 1-2 starters and a wipe out reliever. 1 starter if Moore is an option, 2 if he's not an option. I already feel like I explain too much on here so I apologize if you think that means I'm sleeping. I'm not sorry for wanting 1-2 more front end starters, with a big question mark on Moore.
Schmidt isn't leaving.
Wish list:
Pitching - 1-2 front end starters and at least 1 wipe out reliever from the portal. Cooper Moore to return.
Infield - At least 1 middle infielder and a 3B from the portal. Pipe dream of Milam returning.
Outfield - 1-2 from the portal. 2-3 if the OF draft class is gutted.
I think we need 2-3 arms and 3-4 position players that can be difference makers from day one to go with what's returning and what's coming in the recruiting class. I'm not exactly sure how the pitching shakes out but I'm glad to have Evans and Schmidt back, and hopeful for Moore. Braun, Serna, and Bide are good juice to build around on offense but the defense will need to improve, with or without the pipe dream of Milam returning. Freshman that deserve to be back and developed are Ruckert, Patrick, Paz, Ricken, and Theophilus. Let the chips fall where they may for the rest of the roster.
