The Death Valley Insider staff took our shots at predicting where Jayden Daniels, Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr. will be drafted tomorrow night. Drop your predictions below⬇️.

Daniel Harden, a Prairieville native and JUCO transfer, has committed to LSU.

The OF is batting .309 with 8 HRs and 28 RBIs in 2024.

Jay Johnson

• Stands by calling Tommy the best hitter in the country.
• Thinks they’ve looked more like themselves offensively recently.
• Thinks guys are taking more confident at bats which has resulted in them scoring in more innings.
• Pleased with his bullpens outing tonight. Also happy with Kades performance.
• Said Milam has been much more selective with his pitches which has allowed him to drive the ball better.

Kade Anderson

• He’s been working on making his tempo faster and feels it helps him get into a better rhythm.
• Thinks his curveball has gotten better, but he’s also picked up a slider mid season which has allowed him to mix pitches more. Takes some pressure off so he can throw an off speed for strike.
• Says Gage and Thatcher have taught him how to throw his slider.
• He’s been changing his change up grip to try to figure out what he likes the best.
• Says his curveball is his go to strike out pitch.

Michael Braswell

• Says he’s getting more comfortable throughout the season. He’s been making some adjustments and improving his process at the plate.
• His whole offensive game is about only swinging at pitches he can drive.
• Calls Jared jones homer one of the furthest homers he’s seen.
• Says his fielding woes were mental early in the season and feels he’s been more confident recently, which had resulted in better results. Has to remind himself that he’s a good defender when he has bad days.

Just had my first look at spring practice. Other than some variations in running attack LSU showed virtually nothing new on offense and little on defense. I’m sure that was planned.

Quick update on four-star DB Charles Bass. He's got OV's locked in with Illinois and Arkansas, wants to get one scheduled with LSU among others like Nebraska, Cincinnati and a return trip to Missouri well.

Has some interest in LSU as they are one of his top schools. So keep an eye on him for a potential summer official visit, as he looks to have his decision made prior to the start of his senior year.

Also Leads Team in HR's 17.....batting average 295 not bade either

At 6'-4" 253lbs has good speed running the bases when he hits Doubles; looks like he could play Tight End at UGA
..... and has been under rated playing 1B....Had to help watching one of the best 1st Baseman ever to watch in Tre Spiderman Morgan last season!

Former Indiana and Texas Tech DT, Philip Blidi, is set to visit LSU tomorrow. The former Hoosier recorded 28 tackles and 15 pressures last season.
