You have Brady Neal in the wrong group.

Also, Christian Little is draft eligible correct?

Will Hellmers

Found it interesting that he was announced with the support staff/trainers and not the players during the trophy ceremony. I wonder if it's nothing and that was just the only way for to travel with the team due to roster limits, or if he's done playing at LSU and got to stick around to help out.

My draft prediction after following this process for the past few years.

First round: => Crews, Skenes, Mitchell (HS), Johnson (HS)
2nd & 3rd rounds: => Floyd, Taylor
4th & 5th rounds: => Morgan, Thompson, Jobert, Travinski, Little
6th thru 10th rounds => Money, Cooper
11th thru 20th rounds => Milazzo, Dugas

And I expect them all to sign. You could make a strong case that Coleman, Edwards and Ackenhausen should return unless they get taken during rounds 4th through 6th. All three have the stuff to move up into rounds 2nd and 3rd after a strong 2024 year.
