I seldom post anymore, but since I’m friends with a family member I’ll answer this. Caleb pitched his junior year with a torn rotator cuff in his shoulder. LSU gave him cortisone and lidocaine shots to keep him pitching. Anyone who had watched his fr and so season could tell everything had changed with his mechanics, due to the pain of throwing. After the season he went to Andrews in Bham, was told his tendons were shredded and rotator cuff was torn. He had surgery, to “clean it up” but the bottom line was the damage was done and not reversible. He worked his butt off all fall and spring trying to get back on the mound but the new shoulder couldn’t throw 96 anymore, or even close. He graduated with his Civil Engineering degree and has excepted a job with an engineering firm in Bham. Great kid who bleeds purple and gold! Yes I’m a big Caleb fan, he will be remembered for putting the team on his back in ‘17 by earning a win in the sec tournament, the regional, the super regional, and of course the cws. With a season stat line of 7-1, 1.96 era.
re: Caleb Gilbert had shoulder surgery this summer - will miss fall ball

A few quick answers to questions in thread. Mason is done with baseball, great kid. Beck's elbo is a major concern. The roster numbers will work out. Several freshman arms are injured. Gilbert will not red shirt, will have Engineering degree in May. His shoulder was in very bad shape prior to surgery. Bryce isn't leaving, he's All-SEC hitter when healthy and a team leader. Watson is fine. Josh is 100%. Team chemistry is very good at this point compared to last year.
Yes Josh's back has healed nicely, he should be back 100%, Gilbert had shoulder surgery last week.
Roster numbers are very close and will work out by end of fall. Bryce J will be back, had another surgery on his knee a couple of weeks ago, but will be fine by fall. Gilbert is seeing Andrews, I haven't heard the results. Team will be very good next year, could make a serious run.

Turang has a 0.00% chance of enrolling at LSU.

It's why coach never discusses his incoming class until they are all enrolled at LSU. Per NCAA rules he cannot discuss non-scholly players prior to enrolling. He does not want to expose who is and is not on scholly

27 is max scholly. About 1/2 team not on any scholly. They are non scholarship players, not walk on's. there's a difference

Moffitt and Reese are both coming back, Kodros is gone. Viet is back also.
Here's where we are:
Gone as of today,
Kodros
Webre
Sanders
Feduccia
Slaughter
Petersen
Nowak
Bush
Doughty
There's still more shuffling depending on incoming class.

If a kid is drafted in rounds 1-10 the negotiations took place before the pick. Teams won't risk losing the value if they can't sign a 1-10 pick. Almost every kid who shows up on campus was offered a substantial amount of money out of high school. You seldom hear about it because most family's are smart enough not to put it out on social media. Dup,Zach, and Zach are all coming back btw
Gilbert having a sub par year hurt as bad as any injury. His shoulder injury will heal with rest and he should be back at full strength next year. I spoke to his dad about it.

Feddy and Sanders are both going, both are poor students and really struggle in the class room. Neither want another year of school. Watson is coming back, Dup is not getting much love from scouts and will most likely return. Hess is 50-50. Could get drafted based on size and potential. Very good chance he's back. Petersen and Nowak are no longer on team
re: Nick Bush starting Friday vs SDSU

Here's the cold hard truth. All these kids have "advisors" and the advisors tell their players do not play/pitch unless you are 100% healthy. Because you are jeopardizing your draft status by hurting your stats, even though you are helping the team by playing thru. So when you hear a pitcher has "discomfort" "sore" "twitch" you are getting the the corporate line from the cheese ball advisor who's only interest is signing his player. This is first hand information.
re: Pitching for rest of tourny

Gilbert has an injured right shoulder. He's trying to pitch through it. Shouldn't be pitching at all.
Gilbert has been injured all season, not a "sore arm" he has a shoulder injury. He is grinding thru the pain to pitch because he feels the team needs him. They shot him up with cortisone to try to get him thru the season. Most unselfish player on team to sacrifice his draft year to gut out an injury for the team. My buddy has a kid on the team, I've met Caleb several times, as fine a young man as you will ever meet. Bleeds purple and gold. Works his arse off in the class room and on the field.
