I would trust this board over those guys sadly.

Looks like Arkansas got Maginnis from Georgia State as well.

I like it, if he doesnt go pro, i think he is a starter and has a productive year at the plate for lsu next year. Dugas type year is the dream, but if settle for less
Dugas comp was immediately my thought as well. Even built similarly. Kurland is a good fielder too (1 error this past season). Limited range like Dugas too but makes the routine plays. I like the pickup a lot.

How many portal players do we add?
Just my guess:
1- INF (3B if Milam is gone)
1- OF (hopefully someone versatile that can play CF)
3- P (hopefully at least 2 of these LHP and 1 that is a top end portal guy)

I believe he has a redshirt year due to a season ending injury. Similar to how Cooper Moore gets another leverage year.

Wyatt Hanoian - are we connected to him? I haven't been able to find any connection yet
I believe he played at the same high school as Curiel if you consider that a connection.

I also really like Hanoian a ton as well. Yorke was a flop this year obviously but I don’t think he had a poor personality or attitude (unlike Carraway). I went to a few scrimmages and Yorke seemed very outgoing and engaging.
But yes this kid would be awesome. Wonder if Hanoian could play 3B or even SS.

I wonder how the coaches try to figure out how small school pitchers translate to the sec. it seems to be less of a crap shoot than position players and their ability to hit sec pitching or not.
I think pitching is significantly easier than hitting to predict who can handle a move up in competition.
Good indicators for “stuff”:
K/9
B/AVG
Good indicator for command:
BB/9
I don’t even fool with looking at ERA.
I’m sure they also evaluate their pitch mix, spin rates, velocity, etc and as you said velocity.

Jason Wachs from Tulane hit the portal. Bridgman connection there.
I like this kid. He performed well against good competition when Tulane played LSU and other power conference teams.

He had a season ending injury. Last appearance was 3/1.

Just guessing but I think Rizy wants to be a starter. And that clearly wasn’t going to happen here. I remember Jay mentioning it at one point early in the season that Maverick asked him for an opportunity to start or something along those lines.

I wonder if he is a solid defender at the hot corner.
.942 FLD% but it looks like he played part time there and DH’d about half the time. So I’m guessing he is not a plus defender.

Here is a spreadsheet I compiled of potential targets should they enter the portal. A lot of these guys were crowdsourced from this thread and browsing team pages for stats, etc. Red text players are guys that are either injured or likely to sign in the draft. I focused on guys that either are from a lower level d1 school, had a coaching change or had LA ties.

Definitely feels like a piece of me is missing this year. Always enjoyed seeing your spreadsheet with each time ranked. I will never forget how you spotted Stony Brook as being legit prior to regionals! Also, will miss the annual thread by The Boat about the host opposite of us. Sad times man!

Rett Johnson would be a great fit for our roster. You already have some good power on the roster (Bide, Serna, Braun will emerge into one). Having a good OBP guy that hit .390 for an ACC team would be an awesome add. Maybe the coaching change will help us.

I think that’s obvious. Weather warming up just happens to coincide. Prefer someone playing their best ball after tax day anyways.

I wonder what his pitch mix is like. He is close to averaging a K/IP and I love his BB rate. Seems like a nice high floor guy to add to the staff.
One more portal wishlist if he happens to enter:
Isaiah Magdaleno
Hawaii- Junior
95.1 IP
2.36 ERA
116 K
31 BB
.171 B/AVG

This is going to hurt him if he gets drafted by team with a High A club in the Midwest League.
Maybe in the winter this offseason he can rent a house in the midwest and get climatized :lol:
Steven Milam- Warm Weather Stats
Posted by TigerMoose on 5/22/26 at 11:32 am
I went down a rabbit hole and totaled Milam's career stats for the months of May and June. Hopefully whoever drafts him has minor league teams in warm weather states.
Career Stats:
54 Games
.354 AVG
.466 OBP
11 HR
50 RBI
42 Runs
38 BBs
Breakdown by Season:
2024:
20 Games
.395 AVG
.477 OBP
5 HR
15 RBI
18 Runs
2025:
22 Games
.312 AVG
.448 OBP
2 HR
17 RBI
15 Runs
2026:
12 Games
.357 AVG
.481 OBP
4 HR
18 RBI
9 Runs
TLDR: Milam would be an All American if the season started in May.
