Top baseball prospect announces tmrw at 6pm on his Twitter account. I have no idea who he will commit to, but he is more than likely going to the pros anyway.

[CadaverDawg]

Seems LSU usually pulls a rabbit out of their hat on these types. And will somehow get him on campus. But man I wish he would choose the good guys. Any of our local baseball guys have a hunch on where he's going?

[SilentSteel16]

All I know is Lem was in Jackson all day today……

[Cooterpoot]

LSU but he's going pro anyway.

[AlSwearengen]

I remember seeing facebook or twitter pictures of his official visit to State and someone joking about his mother not liking having to wear Maroon.

[KOdawg1]

Probably LSU

[Todd4State]

He's going to MLB and he has the talent to back it up in the draft. He'll be a first round draft pick.

As far as college goes- LSU or MSU.

Is he the one who's father is the Softball coach at Belhaven?

[80 Dawg]

Is he the one who's father is the Softball coach at Belhaven?

Yes

[Homedawg]

Could be any of the 3, MSU, ole miss, or LSu. None of them would surprise me.

[SilentSteel16]

Yes

[viverlibre]

Yes

Jake Whimberly creams his jeans when taking about that kid.

[raymonddawg]

This kid will never see a college campus.

99% chance you are correct. But you sign him knowing that. And use it as PR and pump up your class and program. There is NO negative from it.

[captaindog]

Hopefully it was a joke. His mom (and dad) are going to completely support wherever he decides to play. She has been extremely complimentary of MSU and all his finalists.

[Cooterpoot]

We're talking about a kid that will never play college ball. Where he commits doesn't change much. We've already got other kids from his travel team.

Agree. But it does help. It helps National image. And ego. I get it he won't be here. But who knows. Injury and he falls down a few rounds. I know that's not likely. But still

[Homedawg]

With that said I'm betting rebels. Or my best source in it is. Ha.

[Homedawg]

Tigers it is.

[State82]

Tigers it is.

Well, this NIL deal is going to be interesting.

[ShotgunDawg]

LSU is killing us with baseball NIL. Running circles around us

[SilentSteel16]

Well, this NIL deal is going to be interesting.

Yeah, don?t be surprised to see him go to college especially if it is late 1st round or later. LSU promised to match whatever signing bonus MLB offered for 2 years. State can?t compete with that kind of money.

[No BS Dawg]

A top draft list was released yesterday and Konnor was rated as the number 3 overall prospect for the coming draft. If LSU wants to match that money, and he wants to go play college ball, it simply it what it is. LSU wants desperately to return to their baseball glory days and are willing to do whatever ($$$$) to get there. More power to them, we?d be doing the same if we had that kind of NIL money.

[SilentSteel16]

Yeah I agree I think anything above 2.0 million slot he goes pro. But crazy to think that a school will match anywhere near that amount. Crazy

Only gonna get worse.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Nah maybe we can catch up since Lil LT is gone to Auburn.
