At Kent State? Hell no haha.

He's a guy with a pretty high ceiling IMO. He's basically a Yamin but with lesser stats. I'd be all for him coming in to compete for a spot but probably not good enough to be promised a starting job.
I disagree on both counts. (1) I don't think his ceiling is high relative to the incoming freshman that he would be competing for playing time. (2) I don't think we should recruit transfer portal players who are not good enough to be promised a starting job. Eddie Yamin hit .161 in conference play with a 55% strikeout rate; we really don't need another version of him on the roster.

His stats seem pretty meh for Kent State. I don't get the hype.

I complained about our infield depth yesterday, and less than 24 hours later, we've gotten locked-in commits from two of the best middle infielders in the SEC haha.

He was asked about his future last week and said he wanted to play pro ball.

I heard we're starting to make a push for the Tulane OF
I don't understand this. At this point, OF doesn't seem like a position of need (we already have two starting positions locked up via Braun and Watters, both of whom are better than Wachs; also, we have 4 stud OF signees, one of whom will likely make it to campus). Meanwhile, we have major deficiencies at 2B and 3B (Ruckert and Pearson don't appear to be SEC caliber players). Thoughts?

I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for.
There are several shortstops in the portal that seem like more promising options than Dawson Park:
Jamie Laskofski
Chris Ramirez
Travis Sanders
Manny Marin
re: Trey Hawsey (LaTech 1B) entering portal - .335, 15HRs
Posted by Future Islands on 5/28/26 at 5:34 pm to AlecRock23
I don't think he is a good fit for LSU. LSU does not need a first baseman / DH, especially of this caliber. The four returning starters are all first baseman / DH types (Braun, Pearson, plus Serna and Arrambide when not catching). Also, his stat line is unimpressive. Recall that Yorke went from .339/13 HR/46 RBI at Grand Canyon to .226/6 HR/19 RBI at LSU and that Bryce Calloway went from .390/18 HR/63 RBI at UNO to .263/3 HR/11 RBI at UGA. I suspect that Hawsey's stat line at LSU would be pretty similar to that of Zach Yorke.

Hodge seems to be leaning pro now.
That's unfortunate; how do you figure he's leaning pro at this point?
Also, do we know which signees, if any, are already on campus? I recall Curiel and Schmidt already being on campus last year.

This was a good podcast. He seems moderately confident LSU lands all of its signees with the exception of Fauske, Sime, Young, and Ebel.

Lachenmeyer's stats are impressive -- 13 k/9, 4 bb/9, 2.37 ERA
Also, in a small sample size against NCAA tournament teams this year (11 ip), he had a 3.4 ERA with a 4/1 k/bb ratio. Very solid addition.

I disagree - I wanted Higgins a bit more. He has higher strikeout numbers, lower walk totals, a much lower ERA (1.87 vs. 4.89) and WHIP (0.90 vs. 1.31) on the season, and did great against the SEC this year (0 ER in 5.1 innings), while Carson Bailey did pretty poorly against the Big12 (6.32 ERA). Production should matter more than draft stock and the radar gun.

Landon Mack looks very good. Great stuff, and only 1.9 bb / 9.

How can you feel good about making it out of a regional? Jay will likely start Anderson against the #4 seed, which means we’ll have to rely on Johnny Wholestaff to win game 3 against the #2 seed.
re: Interesting note from Musso on LSU’s lineup
Posted by Future Islands on 5/6/25 at 11:23 am to CWILKS3
Slight lineup changes don't have such massive impacts...it moreso has to do with an increase in the quality of competition. Our early season stats were inflated as a result of playing Missouri and Mississippi State.
