Whats the latest here.. especially Skenes?
What about the Stetson pitcher that Steve Robertson alluded to between all his bullshit on his podcast?
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.
For example the three guys we picked up 2 are sophomores or younger and the other is a guy who has a COVID year option but grew up a MSU fan.
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.
It's do or die for the Lemonis administration in 2023, so I am 100% sure there is nothing low-energy about the MSU approach. If the team is not significantly better staffed with pitchers, they will lose a huge number of SEC games again. I am not saying he will be fired with another 20 loss season in 2023, but it would melt-down competitive recruiting standing to OM, LSU, Arkansas, and maybe Butch. Turning ED into sad Omaha lurkers for 10 years.
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.”
