Right about Glens kids- the oldest signed with LSU then took the money and went pro ball,,
Biggest reason LSU loses kids in state- they are close enough to really know what goes on. The out of state kids only see LSU from a distance,, no real idea what a cluster it really is. As far as pitcher development- scouts push kids to Vanderbilt, Miss state, Louisville, even Wake Forest,, Who wants to come to LSU and because Paul doesn't like you pitch 20 innings a year?
Look at the pitchers on the team who after 4-5 years have gotten no better than when they stepped on campus..

The only thing Grewe has done is teach that damn cutter and blow arms out. Bringing in better pitchers to start with makes him look better, but look again by years end. How many walks did Florida issue all weekend? The reason for walks is different for every pitcher, if someone knew anything about pitching mechanics then you could help each pitcher individually. Or, just yell "throw strikes" from the dugout..
Look around the SEC at elite programs WITH a pitching coach - Vandy, Florida, Arkansas or even outside the SEC and you will see pitchers develop and improve during the season.
By the way, Robichaux is probably the best pitching coach in the state..

"at the moment" is accurate, but players are moving up and down as we speak. The baseball sites (PG included) only give a guess based on the last time someone was seen.. alot can change in the 8 months from Jupiter to the June draft.

3 out with TJ -- Rittner also

Under armour all-american game

2011 commit Carson Baranik - RHP-Parkway High School BC LA playing in Under Armour All-American at Wrigley Aug 14th-- on MLB network and MLB.com.

PG Nationals top 10

# 5 is LSU commit ..

Couple of notes from PG Nationals
Bell was not there- not sure why
Evan Powell chose not to come to rest for Team USA trials
Cave was there - but did not throw at all. Seems to have a sore arm. I doubt he ever comes to LSU.
Tyler Moore- though not blogged in PG- in a versatile player- can catch, play some infield-- I see him as a corner guy.
Terrance Magee - from East Code area code tryouts- unbelievable speed, plus arm and above avg bat. Thought he might be a football guy who can play baseball, but he could put the football down at any time and excel on the baseball field.

If a boy goes in the top 10 rounds, then he's probably given an indication that he's going to sign, and the statistics show us that most of the kids drafted in the top 10 rounds end up signing.

One of the dumbest statements I have ever heard.
Try to win in the SEC with players who are NOT in the top 300 .. good luck.

ERA is irrelevant for draft. What is important is how he is throwing the ball. Which is not bad,, but not where he was. He will be middle to late first round I suspect.

When we hired a hitting coach to be the pitching coach, that was the downfall of the staff.
The guys on this staff have gotten worse as the season goes along.. obviously Grewe's philosophy on "let the figure it out" is working. They NEED someone who has a clue.

LSU will never have dominant pitching again- no matter who shows up-- and be surprised if pitchers bolt and guys sign rather than come here. College pitchers need a coach.

This was from a MLB scout yesterday.. said Garin would start running in a couple of weeks, and that he may very well get the $$ he was looking for.

Hope Jacoby Jones shows up..
