Heard Landon J is transferring to either Southern Ms or LSU.

[99jc]

Anyone else hear that.

[StarkVegasSteve]

No info, but I could see Southern.....LSU not so much. They have the same caliber players that we do. I doubt he would be able to start there either.

[BiscuitEater]

Don't think many teams are looking for someone who quits when he isn't starting.

[Homedawg]

He wont play at lsu either so why go there?? Usm is a good fit.

[TNDawg35]

LSU would use him. They need some talent. A lot of their guys are very very young. He will
More than likely end up at USM tho...

[Todd4State]

LSU would shock me.

[ZedFedder]

He’s from the Coast so USM would be a good fit. LSU has more talent than we do in the field (not pitching) so that doesn’t seem wise.

[maroonmania]

Does LSU or USM want a guy that will quit during the middle of the year if he isn't starting every game? Have no problem with him transferring after the season is over but have a big problem with him quitting on his teammates and the fans 15 games into a season.

USM had no problem taking Luke Reynolds or Bryant Blaylock.

[The Federalist Engineer]

If LSU wanted him out of HS, he could do LSU

He was dandy dozen and a game-1 starter for a top-5 team.

LSU will have equally strong competition

He may have started his first game, but he was never a consistent starter for us.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think either walked out on their team in the middle of the season.

Does he leave again if he doesn't start right away? Good luck bonding with that 'next' team.

I can’t remember the last in/season quiting. We did not have ED in the 90s and early 00s, info was scarce to the public. Even recruiting info was very limited.

Update: Elih Marrero in 2017.

It is for sure that he is wasting this year's eligibility, right? Someone had posted that they thought he could keep this year's eligibility by leaving now. Didn't know if there was a special covid related rule already or if there was a RS rule similar to football's.

I would be extremely concerned if I was LSU about picking up somebody that hit .280 at MSU and then quit mid season. I would assume that for USM, the risk is worth it. He should be able to get playing time there, and he's got nowhere else to go at that point, so presumably he'll be ok.

[StarkVegasSteve]

The kid made a decision on HIS future. I have no problem with it. He got passed over and wants to start looking for new opportunities now. I'd rather him move on now than stay and potentially cause problems during the season.

Yeah. But per Joel T Coleman he was still on the roster and therefore on the team and so his DUI was worth reporting because "it's the news."

Never mind he hadn't been on the team for weeks at that point.

You are correct that neither left in season.

This take totally misses the point. Fact is LJ has no CURRENT future in baseball for this season anywhere but MSU. At season's end I would have no problem with him transferring where ever he wants to go and wishing him well. Right now he is just a quitter because things didn't play out so far this season just like he wanted them to. And, who knows, if he had stayed, he may have ended up starting again at some point. To be honest, in all the preseason reviews of this team, I didn't really read anyone projecting LJ to be our starter at 3rd and its not like he was hitting .350 with multiple HRs.

And you totally missed my point. The kid didn't do anything to lose his spot. Lemonis made changes to the lineup the Sunday of Kent State and we found a lineup that clicked for us. It wasn't supposed to be permanent. I can understand him being upset about it. Wish him the best and move on. Do you really want someone on the team who is unhappy and could ruin team chemistry? And for the record. He wasn't starting again. There's no place for him on this team other than as a garbage time PH. KJ is a better bat than him and he's not beating out Hancock for the DH spot.

Also, why does it matter to us if he quits and goes to another team? That's just one less problem we have to deal with.

That's a foolish statement. There aren't multiple people in front of him that would need to be injured for him to regain a starting spot.

It only matters to the extent you are a fan. If you are a fan of a team, you generally want good things for your team. I don't think anybody would really have a problem with him going to another team. But he's here and there's no where he can play for the rest of the year, so it's a shame if he quit because he was just pissed about his role with the team.

Now if he just wants to take a break from baseball and have fun being a college student for a couple of months before trying to get back in the grind for another team this summer, that's a little different. Then he's getting something in exchange for quitting now rather than at the end of the year.

As a fan, would still prefer he stick around and finish out the year in case we need him, but if he's out having fun rather than sitting around being bitter about losing his starting spot, hard to fault him too much for that.

[basedog]

Time to move forward, it's history now, he did quit for whatever the reason, I like what Lemonis said, "I wish him the best, Next man up"!

HailState! We Are A Baseball School! Ain't No player or Coach bigger than our baseball program. That's a fact and our History proves it.

[The Federalist Engineer]

Wow, then Ryan Cyr was the last. He was even a potential SEC starter on the incredibly challenged 2017 pitching staff.

Cannizzaro was a hell of a coach to get that team to a super regional

A lot of people dont understand what happened behind the scenes on that 2017 team, it was a wild bunch.

If people knew the whole story the fact that we made a SR would be cause to build Cann a statue. When his head was on straight he could flat out motivate and just will a team to win.

I guess you could say Cyr "quit" after skipping curfew at Arkansas.
