Don't forget an SEC tournament championship in 2012, an SEC regular season championship in 2016 and five straight super regional appearances from 2016 until last year.Quote:

Growing up as a MSU fan in the 80's-90's that run was a dream come true for me. Always knew we had the potential. Actually we have the potential to do more and I think we will.

Wasn't expected to make it to campus anyway.Quote:

No we aren't. Not in baseball anyway.Quote:

"Whether Cijntje turns pro this summer or heads to Mississippi State remains to be seen. He’s small for a pitcher at 5-foot-11 and 170 pounds, and clubs believe his talent presently fits in the sixth- to 10th-round range, which may not be high enough to divert him from the Bulldogs."

Hang on a minute here... are you admitting that we must have evaluated this kid correctly?Quote:

His biggest backers believe he can thrive as a starter once he adds some strength and does a better job of maintaining his stuff and throwing strikes. Others envision him as a late-inning reliever with an upper-90s fastball and a wipeout slider. "
Sounds like he could be a dang good closer…Quote:

Paul Skenes is on campus today.
This is what we hired you for Lemonis. Seal the deal

In addition to really good pitching numbers:
.314 with 13 HR and 10 doubles in 2022.
.410 with 11 HR and 21 doubles in 2021.
Can catch if need be.
Yeah this guy really does qualify as "utility player". Excellent pitcher and he can hit for average and power and catch if needed. I like his major and hobby as well!Quote:

I think Lemo wants him but kinda gotta wait and see how the draft goes but the fall will be a helluva competition for several spots.
I think we may see a lot of things kind of pick up around the draft. A lot of these guys have COVID year options so they have extra leverage in a lot of cases. So, not sure that this will be normal.Quote:

The draft is going to make things pretty crazy for us because we will finally know more about our returning guys, our incoming freshmen, and our portal targets.
While other schools are grabbing up top portal guys already. We're going to wait on the draft? We missed on one last week and failed to get another committed. We better nail down some good arms fast.
Dallas Baptist just rang the bell on a top LHP from Nebraska. LSU got Alex Pineda from Baylor. LSU also got the Creighton kid, but they know he is draft interested.Quote:

LSU Quotes:
* “The draft being late is horrendous for us as coaches,” Johnson said. “But we have to adapt. You turn on the combine on MLB Network and there’s an LSU recruit running a 60 or talking on set. We’ll see what happens but we made strong pitches to those guys on why this [college] is the right way. I think the thing that changes it all is money and some of those guys are gonna get a lot of money and not gonna be here.”
* Johnson believes there are four players from this 2022 freshmen class who will never step foot on campus because of the financial implications and seasons they are coming off of.
* “It is what it is and I’m not going to let any one player hold our program hostage,” Johnson said. “We’re gonna be ok. It’s a complicated issue I spend every day working on. We have a different avenue where we can overcome some of those losses.
* “It kind of gives you a thought that maybe you wanna build your team one year at a time which is not the way I believed in it. But right now it’s a talent grab and part of what you have to do to be at the top.”
