That's good news. It looked like his visit went well and he seems close with Coach O.

I hope we can lock him up quick and UT and ATM stays on the outs.
Transferred to USF from TCU... 52 Ks in 46 innings with 8 starts across 16 appearances... we need to replace Cowen and Fontenot for sure, and I think that this guy and the USC transfer will likely take their roles.
It's not a bad listen. I miss when Culotta was on it
Ole Miss must've thrown more money on the table at the last minute.

Ole Miss is like a scorned woman right now. They're going to do anything they can to take shots at us, including trying to make us lose or overpay for recruits.

Hopefully we get him in the class without overpaying for him.

The first 4 mentioned here should be a great weekend rotation + one midweek starter.

We're also bringing back Guidry, who finished the season strong, and Plog.

If we can get Sheerin and/ or Garcia back, the bullpen will be in pretty good shape.
He looks like that based on PG film. He looks to have a smooth swing with a quick bat. He also had a 100 mph exit velocity, which is pretty good for a guy not considered to have a lot of power.

He looks like a high level OF with a plus arm and elite speed (6.3 60 to time).

Is he expected to be out part of next season? I figured he'd be close to fully recovered by mid to late fall.
The disparity between 247 and On3 is wild sometimes... maybe one side hasn't put in the same film and scouting time as the other site on certain players, but still.

247 has him ranked as the #5 Safety and On3 has him as the 116th Safety and a 3 star.
Seaton will have a 93 rating and be the #4 overall Tackle.

This team would've won pretty easily this year.

I'd put the 2023 LSU team up against anyone. It had the best college pitcher and arguably baseball player of all time, who was an important automatic win in a best of 3 series. Our #2 starter was a 1st round pick.

That team had the best top to bottom offense I've seen in college baseball as well. Crews was so good that there was a real discussion teams were having about picking him #1 over Skenes. The lineup also had Tanks, along with a ton of veteran firepower l. Most of the lineup hit near or over .300 and we had like 12+ guys reach double figures in HRs.
Not sure why we're not a finalist. We were the favorite.

ATM is in the lead for him the same reason they are for 1/4 of the five stars in this class....$$$. It's the sole reason they're getting blue chip out of state recruits.

A lot of what he's done is obviously shady or evil, but I cant help but pull for Daemon, despite knowing what happens in the book.

Rhaenera and Aliciant don't move the needle for the show.

2 of the 3 dragon seeds are sort of interesting right now. They're interesting as no one has ever went from non royalty to a dragon rider and formidable fighters in such a short time. They don't really owe anyone true loyalty IMO because they weren't wanted until they were needed. Their next moves will matter.

They are the daughters of Daemon.

The Sea Snake's biological kids still in the area, though considered illegitimate, are actually pretty formidable. One is a dragon rider with a decent head on his shoulders and the other is a strong navy officer.
His film's pretty good. The best thing I noticed were his hands and how he used his body to block the DB out and make plays. He had nice moves to get off the line of scrimmage.

He likes the double moves for a deep ball and the DBs were expecting it, making hooks and curls effective.

He got early separation in most of his routes.

Yep. How long will it be before MLB teams take over the NIL for certain programs & just use them as farm clubs?


It would be interesting but I don't see how they can control where those players go. The Yankees could've supported LSU in 2023 but then watch Skenes still go to the Pirates and Crews to the Nats.

Their class ranking is indicative of this fact. They’re pulling 5 star kids out of Florida and Georgia that have no interest in anything A&M related other than the pile of cash waiting on them.


Exactly what they did in 2022.

If they continue doing this and are able to retain a lot of the recruits through their NIL, it's going to make them very formidable. I don't love it.
I don't mind a crowded RB room. It gives the HC and OC more legroom with the running game when they're not worried about depth there. It's a tough position where injuries happen along with wear and tear.

I'm holding out hope that he'll have a good year and get some draft attention. He was promising as a Freshman.
