Former LSU Linebacker Omar Speights signs a UDFA contract with the Rams. Signing bonus worth $9,000

Gents, after yesterday's nearly perfect 5-0, 2-hitter gem, we are 6-13 (27-16 overall) and on our first 3-game winning streak since before conference play began. Gage Jump and Christian Little pitched a nearly perfect 2-hitter, possibly our best SEC game this year. And note: zero free passes last night, walks or hit batters. This has been a problem this year (4.95 per game) but not last night.

And now we have Luke Holman (6-3, 2.78 ERA, 55.0 IP, 18 BB, 79 SO) on the mound tonight. We need a bounce back game big time.

With our improving record and an RPI now at #34, we are not out of this yet. Win tonight and find a way to win tomorrow and we will be 8-13 with 9 games left, 6 of which are at home against beatable ole miss and bama. And with Gage and Holman pitching the first two games, we have a shot in College Station as well. Geaux Tigers.

Want to give a shout out to St Amant girls for winning 3 state tiles in a row what an awesome feat. Didn’t have the so called powerhouse like usual , but jelled down the stretch in playoffs to take a 7-2 win over Ponchatoula. Our 9th title, go gators!!!

LSU Center Charles Turner has signed a UDFA deal with the New England Patriots.

Former LSU safety, Andre Sam, is signing a UDFA deal with the Eagles.

Ain't gonna lie, I may have teared up a little.

Gents, we are 3-12 and midweek games mean "diddly-poo" according to a local radio host so we are very likely out of the tournament. We probably have to be 14-16 to make a regional, so 11-4 is needed. We gotta start with sweeping Missouri if we want that to happen. Gage Jump gets the start tonight. Game is on the SEC Network and that Teddy Ruxpin channel.

We are going to call this the 'somebody has to win' series. Sweep Missouri and we are 6-12 and still have a small shot at the tournament.

LSU / Missouri History

3) 1B Jared Jones (.289 BA, 15 HRs, 35 RBIs)

9) CF Josh Pearson (.228 BA, 5 HRs, 14 RBIs) or Paxton Kling (.212 BA, 1 HR, 16 RBIs)

Gents, we are now 5-13 after winning our first SEC series last week verses Missouri. The record we are hearing to make a regional is 13-17, so sweeping Auburn and improving to 8-13 would go a long way. Long shot to make the tournament but not 100% out yet. Gage Jump gets the Friday start again tonight after last week's great start which saves Luke Holman for Game 2 again. I like our chances.

Geaux Tigers

Sorry, forgot to post on here earlier

Both Frank Wilson and Brad Davis were entering the final year of their deals, so Brian Kelly got ahead of the curve and extended both of them through 2026.

From Wilson Alexander with the Advocate: "The LSU board of supervisors on Friday approved the amended contracts, which include annual salary bumps. Davis will earn an average of $940,000 per year over the next three years. Wilson will earn roughly $1 million per year during the same time period."

gents, talk of lots of trades in the 1st round, including a couple teams moving up to No. 2

where do we think our three Tigers will go?

I’m guessing JD at #2, Malik at #4 or #6, and Brian Thomas between #15 and #20.

and I'd lay a bet the Saints will take an offensive tackle.

Let’s hear your predictions…

Former NFL Scout Daniel Kelly returns to break down LSU WR Malik Nabers ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft.

Former NFL Scout Daniel Kelly returns to break down former LSU receiver Brian Thomas Jr. ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft. Something tells me he might lose some LSU fans with his break down of Brian Thomas Jr.

Tuesday morning, two LSU Tigers - Joseph Cryer and John Emery Jr. - entered their name into the transfer portal.

Cryer, a three-star offensive guard in the Tigers 2024 class and a Natchitoches native, is already leaving before making it through the summer. Emery, a former four-star RB who's been at LSU since 2019, will use his final year of eligibility elsewhere.
