re: Paz to the portal

Posted by N2daWild on 6/26/26 at 7:02 pm to
Jay has mentioned recently that he was happy he had some starting experience as a freshmen.

I didn't see it coming
I always enjoy what you bring to the board. I'm impressed.

I usually go through the emotions every year. We lose guys early and I'm upset. Then when it's over, I'm excited about who we landed.

Of course, I could always be more excited if things go well.
We should probably have something from Joe Doyle soon. It's some good info.

It could. There are 13 draft risk. Every year someone will surprise and some will disappoint. Jay doesn't have a crystal ball but he obviously has a good feel for the situation. It's going to be exciting
Moscona also added an asterisk if he makes on campus
Not surprisingly Stringer keeps climbing.

Just from things I hear on youtube.com, so it is, Murphy and Sides are still in play.

I also wonder how would Hirshkorn feel about dropping past the first round?
I talked to a friend who attended to Jay's luncheon last off-season. This might have been the first time Jay publicly mentioned that we need to better in the funds department. I don't know total money available for any team but Jay talked about revenue share. LSU was ranked around 14 out of the SEC teams. LSU was about $400,000. I believe Arkansas was first at 3 million. There were other teams with around 2 million.
It's better to lose some top prospects than to have not any top prospects.

We should see more seniors playing college ball. It should help our chances with Garcia.

Brown is still unlikely, but worth a mention. Milam should have leverage again and might make a little paycheck next year as well.
I see it like this. I see the 5 mentioned by McDaniel as gone. There is another group around 9 players that are draft risk. According to Jay we will lose 1-3 from that group of 9.

If we lose 3, it's okay but not great. We shouldn't complain about losing 2 out of 9. If we lose only 1 out of 9, giving a total of 6 loses, we should be very pleased.
You have a class of 25 if you include the one JUCO. I think we will lose 8, leaving 17.

We will see after the draft but the numbers are still high to me. I think there might be subtractions from our roster or signing class.
McDaniel will probably lose the top 5, we will be lucky to get one of the top 5. We will probably get 75% of the top tier. That would align with 6-8.
I noticed that. Jason Armstrong made the same statement.

Project has the correct numbers.

This is worth the listen. Moscona has an expert of draft on phone. Kiley McDaniel
Moscona said that they are looking for two more pitchers and are visiting this weekend. La pitcher is a top on list top but competition. Then a Lefty.
I'm pretty sure that will be the roster for the season.

Last year Jay wanted 42. LSU told them 40. Keep in mind we have a new AD. We lost Reddemann late in portal to put us at 39. Shahrdar didn't stay, so kept us at 38

I don't know how the conversations will happen, Injuries, JUCO, more portal subtractions or we don't do very good in the draft.
quote:

He also said Milam is moving to second base


To be fair, he probably believes us like everyone else that Milam will be at SS. Armstrong are hearing from his sources. Those sources were correct about Milam coming back to LSU.

Armstrong had some errors from latest video on some of his numbers. He mentioned 5 portal additions, but it is 6. He also mentioned that he should probably get about 13 new signees and saw as around 36. We probably could add another a couple of portal additions.

So let us talk about the real numbers. We are at 23 and will probably lose 5 to more to the draft. That puts as at 18, Jay mentioned at 17. I will keep it at 17 because there could be conversations already done. If we leave it at 17, add the 6 additional portals put us at 23. We have 25 in the 2026 class and Jay predicts we will lose between 8-6. So if we lose at 8, puts us at 17 plus 23 us at 40. Jay mentioned we will keep "40 or 41".

Even is we lose one player, because Jay mentioned 17, the numbers are already tight. Jay is still taking visits according the Tigerrag video. We could easily take another portal addition. That would put us at 41. If Jay only loses 7 from the 2026 class, now we are 42. if we only lose 6, we are at 43. What if one of those 5 mentioned from our current roster returns, Guidry, Sheerin, Garcia, Brown or Curiel. Now we will be at 44.

The situation is obviously still fluid. The more we add the better for the team, but some subtractions might still need to happen.
Was listening to Jason Armstrong video. The most interesting thing he said was that Sides does could make it to campus. Who knows but we have a shot
Project you mentioned 53 players. PP7 has 23 and it looks correct. 25 signing class and 6 portal adds equal 54.
