what about if the new NCAA eligibility rule takes effect? they will be grandfathered in with a 5 year clock...that would likely at least cover York and Simpson, DarDar would age out.
Nice easy drive over...will be a nice escape from BR. Might see the tigres one game, maybe two :)

I think CJJ said it a few weeks back in his press conference. You can't go out shopping POWER because it will get you what he got this year. Carraway was a walking error at OSU with a low BA until playoff spike. Not sure what you thought you were getting with him. The others (York/Simpson/Dardar) came from lower level programs with no real pedigree for SEC life. It is what it is...failed evals across the board.
Carraway just never took the step forward he needed to take and now he is here on the payroll with no draft smoke. Does he get processed or return for his senior season? Dardar is always banged up/if the NCAA rule passes does he try for a 7th year of college baseball? same for York/Simpson...

Just a complete meltdown of the bullpen. There is no excuse for the team to keep rolling arms out that can't get out of their own way...burn it down and start over! crap!
re: Defensively- will Milam be the best ever for LSU at SS
Posted by johno71 on 4/27/26 at 4:23 pm to Jim bean xxx
He is truly a plus defender....but if you were here to see Bregman in the flesh - he was very nice! Milam has some similarities but Bregman had more range.
re: Does Curiel and Milam come back?
Posted by johno71 on 4/27/26 at 4:21 pm to HeyShowMeYourTDs
no chance with Curiel...Milam there is a chance. If he is on the board past the 3rd/4th round he will likely consider CJJ's NIL/rev share offer to return.
There is absolutely no way he will ever get the prestige/fandom he has here at LSU so what else does he have to do other than go play on the backfields in AZ or FL? If the offer is on the table I think he stays...

and there in lies the problem, real baseball players do not want to just "hang around" and wait to play the platoon game. If you want to play go where you can play - only way to get reps, get better.
The CJJ model, players have to be ok with either waiting for a turn that may never come or platooning until someone gets hot.

re: Has this baseball checked out for the rest of the year?

this! I think everyone is on pins and needles when they get the opportunity and they don't want to mess up - leading to MESSING UP!
Unfortunately, I think its the climate and culture that this season has created.

you to the minors to get ready...If MLB wants him they will get him. Not much else he can do at the collegiate level other than be a year older and maybe get a bit more pop.
The kid was 18 freaking years old...what makes you say he was uncoachable? cause he black? bad take my guy!
Caraway led his old team in errors so glad to see he cleaned that up...however, he was also not a great hitter for OSU so he was basically high risk/high reward gamble that CJJ was willing to take on...you win some you lose some :) :violin:
this is exactly the scenario coaches are dealing with. You don't get recruited to LSU without the staff knowing you can play. The reality is you don't get better at baseball sitting on the bench you have to go somewhere you can play.
CJJ has openly expressed how much he dislikes this portal era but it the nature of the beast. Certainly why CJJ is trying to get the freshman a bit more time this year so they will see his investment in them and not leave. Last year it was much tougher to do.

re: Should Braun be the 1st Baseman?
Posted by johno71 on 3/9/26 at 2:02 pm to Tiger Ryno
Braun is not a real big guy. Saw him up close and prototypical CJJ 1B is a bit larger/taller. So, no I don't see him transitioning to 1B

I am sort of feeling this vibe. Every day you show up at the ballpark you want to play but there are 7 guys vying for time at 2b/3b/LF....They get in and they PRESS! Cause all of them want to make something happen so they can extend their time. Tough and sort of takes the fun away from the game. Now its a competition every day which makes it hard to turn into a team vs a collection of players.

You might have a point. I was there all weekend and I saw what everyone else saw. At the end of the day, when you get portal players - you PAY them therefore you have to PLAY them. So good, bad or indifferent, the boosters are not going to let you drop a bag on a guy and then let him sit.
CJJ has a lot to manage with that.

agree and would really like to give the guy a decent run to at least try; one outing is what it is
I thought this was the role the big guy who coaches 1b- wanniker or something like that...supposedly he has been with CJJ for years as his hitting guy.
Glad they got the opportunity! Just wish CJJ had flipped the lineup sooner. A darn shame Harden has not been in play since Stanfield went down and in some capacity at DH...hopefully this changes
agree- its a real head scratcher. The fat Pearson really pooped his pants on 1b tonight. So much for getting the start over other quality defenders.
NO way in hell should Pearson or Reaves be on the field defensively for LSU...just no way.
