10 in the portal would either suggest some of these kids never actually wanted to be here and leaving at the first sight of getting passed on the depth chart or that Jay is doing something to run kids off. 10 is a lot. If that happens based on numbers right now they would be 2 players short of th...

[quote]Because lsu fans love to hold players to their recruiting rankings & talk themselves into unrealistic expectations[/quote] This is 100% true. Fans love to do that without understanding where those ranking come from and what they are based on. Those high school draft rankings are based on p...

A lot of people think of NIL for incoming players in the draft to make a difference. This situation is perfect for NIL. If Jones gets taken at pick 116 like his ranking that is signing bonus of around 575-600K. You work up an NIL to counter that and have the talking point you mentioned of telling hi...

There is no magic number. It can take different players different time to have it click. Which is a reason you don't give up on Kling even after 2 years. If it does click, then the potential he brings is great. If it doesn't click, other guys get opportunities to pass him up. Plenty players have ...

Ruddell did not have a good fall and spring at all. He flashed some power every now and then but he had one of the lowest BA and had one of the highest K rates. Y’all think just cause they not playing they will magically be better than the guys out there because yall haven’t seen it. These coaches s...

Can get away with it at that level and still have some successful starts when the stuff is what it is. Move to the SEC and the stuff isn't as dominant to hitters and those walks are a complete different story. Basically Hurd for us right now....

He pitched well in the fall. The preseason spring scrimmages his numbers were very similar to how they are now. Extremely frustrating to say the least knowing what type of pitcher he could be. Has to be frustrating for Jay to, but at this point he is a midweek/scraping the bottom of the pen Sunday g...

That isn't quite right. He was mostly middle of the pack in hitting that fall when it was all said and done. He just really had a span of a few scrimmages that were really good that may stick in your head. Believe it or not, Jack Merrifield was the leading hitter that fall when it comes to AVG an...

Reading a little bit on him and they are saying the potential is through the roof with the power bat and strong arm. The rest of his game needs work though. Sounds similar to Jared Jones out of high school....

He is a 5th year senior that is a singles hitter without any future MLB potential. Meanwhile Kling is a sophomore from a state that doesn't have the most competitive baseball in high school in Pennsylvania but is ridiculously athletic and has all the tools to make it to the MLB if he can get reps an...
