Not sure how you measure “plus/minus” stat like basketball or hockey but as good as I think he may potentially hit, his fielding is dismal. Not just how it directly affects the particular play it also has to be a downer to other 8 guys on the field. Does Guidry even take BP or fielding drills. I’m afraid Brasswel is not even an average SEC shortstop I have friend from SC who told me Brasswell has issues

It’s a shame Johnson didn’t consult your friend before he recruited him

Brasswell had very few defensive issues before this year so I am not sure what your friend is talking about?

I was excited when we signed Guidry and got him to campus based on his lofty ranking. I never saw him in high school. He ended up being a lot smaller than I thought he’d be. He’s firey but has Milazzo power in his limited at bats and he likely hasn’t been practiced at shortstop. He’ll never be an every day starter at LSU unfortunately.

Listening to CJJ's postgame comments, we can pick up two messages:
1. He's officially evaluating alternative options at SS outside of Braswell, so I'd be very surprised if Braswell starts at SS the next game.
2. We have very few options and close to non experience at SS outside of Braswell, and he wished that we'd have had the opportunity to play more young players at SS up to this point.

So to sum it up...we are f*cked at SS unless some young guns miraculously figure things out very very quickly.

We have 2 years of data on Braswell. Not sure why people were expecting unrealistic things from him just by putting an LSU jersey on.

LSU should be very active in the portal every year but taking other team’s top players not their project players. (Little, Braswell)

I think they would move Milam to SS and play Pearson at 2nd.

However, I don't think they will bench Braswell.
