Jay Johnson

• Great night for the pitching staff. Says UNO has some good hitters and they were able to manage them pretty well.
• Thought it was a great redemption game for his team.
• Thinks he’s on Brady Neal more then anyone else because he believes in his talent so much. Thinks this is really his freshman year after his injury.
• Thinks Larson is really strong mentally. Baseball is his life and he loves his approach at the plate.
• Liked that they scored runs in 4 of 8 innings tonight. Liked the consistency from the offense.
• Thinks Paxton Kling has taken much better at bats recently. He’s making solid contact, drawing walks and has worked counts better.

Christian Little

• Said it was great to get in there and put up a 0 tonight.
• Doesn’t think this team has lost any confidence. They don’t feel defeated despite a rough stretch.
• Said they’ve made a lot of changes these last few weeks to get back on track.
• Thinks Aiden Moffett is one of the most talented pitchers in the country.
• Says baseball is about finding a way to win, but they haven’t done that yet. They’ve been focusing on how to close things out and get some wins.

Brady Neal

• He always sits on fastball and then adjusts to anything else. Says he got a nice heater for his Homer.
• Sometimes he gets down on himself when he doesn’t play well, so he’s trying to play with more joy recently to get himself to play better.
• Says they went through a gauntlet already, so their mentality is to just go for it down the stretch.
• Thinks they’re “so close” to beating some of the top teams.
• Thinks what they’re going to do down the stretch is going “to be special”

The LSU Tigers throw out the first pitch against UNO in about 27 minutes. Check back here for live updates and to share your thoughts from the game.

Lineup:

1. Paxton Kling, CF
2. Steven Milam, 2B
3. Tommy White, 3B
4. Jared Jones, 1B
5. Ashton Larson, RF
6. Hayden Travinski, DH
7. Mac Bingham, LF
8. Brady Neal, C
9. Michael Braswell, SS
P: Thatcher Hurd

Nothing major, but just a few notes for the spring transfer portal:

• Opens tomorrow, April 16th, and will remain open until April 30th for undergrad students.
• Grad transfers have until May 1st to enter.
• *If LSU gets a transfer from any other SEC school, he cannot play this season* so expect them to look for a DT from outside of the SEC.
• Brian Kelly said he doesn’t expect them to hit any other position besides DT in the portal, so don’t expect them to be super active.
• I believe LSU is floating right around the scholarship count, so expect to see a few more Tigers enter in the coming days.

Billy Richmond, a four-star SG in the 2024 class, has decomitted from Kentucky. Richmond had LSU in his final four along with Memphis, Alabama and Kentucky. He could follow Coach Cal to to Arkansas, but if not, LSU, Bama and Memphis should all be in play.

Earlier this week, the Tigers lost Angelica Velez to the transfer portal, and today, they lose another freshman in Janae Kent. She averaged 1.6 points and 8.0 minutes per game in 2024.

Texas WR Carterrious Brown. I have wrote on him before, but he visited campus this past week and will be seen again by the LSU staff this upcoming week. An offer is very possible, in which I think he would take advantage of.

According to D1.Com
#1 Texas A&M 32 - 4
#2 Arkansas 30 - 5
#3 Kentucky 30 - 5
#4 Tennessee 30 - 6
Pretty remarkable! Not sure i have ever seen this....

.....next is #13 Vanderbilt @ 26 - 10
#18 Alabama 24 - 12
#20 So. Carolina 25 - 11
# 24 Georgia 27 - 9

8 SEC Teams in Top 25
There were >10 Teams< ....but
Mississippi State 22 - 14 & Florida 18 - 17 Dropped Out

This is why last week Ronnie Rantz said " the SEC is so stacked that LSU at 15 - 15 could still HOST a REGIONAL
...but that was before they got Swept at Tennessee

At 3 - 12 LSU would have to Flip the Record at 12 - 3...very Slim at Best
However if a “Spark" is ignited and miraculously the Hitting / Pitching comes together ; is it possible to go 10 - 5 the rest of the way in the SEC?
A Tall order for sure!
Finish 13 - 17.....Win a few games in Hoover

I refuse to believe this team will finish the way of ex CWS Champs Mississippi State and Ole Miss did

UP NEXT at MISSOURI

@jurmanji2 asks the following of his fellow LSU fans. I told him, I'd ask the question on the premium board to get more responses and I'd let him know what you guys had to say.

The latest on some recent LSU offers and more here:

From @Marshall Levenson

Dakorien Moore was a hot topic this weekend with a potential trip to check out Ohio State. But says he's locked in with LSU.

Way to go Ackenhausen!!!!

0 - 0 END 2nd

LSU BATS ....Its NOW or NEVER!!!!
Let's DO THIS!!!!
Winds gusting up to 25mph today

Gents, barring a 2022 ole miss turnaround were they were 7-14 in the SEC and the brass was discussing a Bianco buy-out and then they got better, were the 64th team in the tournament, and then won the CWS, the season is over. So now we should start playing for the future.

my thoughts...

Bench Neal (dude is 2 and 30 in SEC play), bench Frey (.213 average, no run production), bench Kling (.218 average, no run production), bench Braswell (leads the league in errors), bench Pearson (.222 average), and maybe consider benching Travinski (average and run production way down since SEC play started).

Insert the young players like never taking Milam or Larson out of the lineup again. Have Milazzo catch every game that he can to give the young pitchers the best guidance and game manager.

Tennessee averages 11 runs a game and we have held them to 9 in two games so pitching is improving.

This team has no offensive intensity and no vocal leaders. we need a Mahtook, an Antonini, an Antoine Duplantis, a Crews, a Theriot. I thought White was the guy but his personality has gone inward this year.

thoughts?

Participated in another installment of Fact or Fiction with the national team.

My topic was Dakorien Moore...

A noteworthy name that won’t be in attendance…

I don’t think it’s time for LSU fans to hit the panic button just yet. Moore has been committed to LSU dating back to last summer and has continued to make the rounds on visits etc since his commitment. He visited Texas last weekend and was expected to skip LSU’s spring game in lieu of a trip to Columbus to check out Ohio State’s spring game. It appears there's been a shift in plans due to a change with a track meet and he'll stay in Dallas for a 7-on-7 tournament. There's been a lot of chatter about his visits to Texas and what was expected to be a trip to Columbus to visit Ohio State. I was told he still wants to visit Columbus and is expected to take a trip on April 27th. With that said, I still don't see much cause for concern yet. He’s still been actively recruiting for LSU on social media and was sporting some purple and gold track shoes at one of his recent track meets. I know you can never feel too safe in this day and age of recruiting, but I don't think there's reason for LSU to be overly concerned at this point.



Now for those expected to be in this weekend…

LSU’s five-star QB commit is expected to be attendance for LSU’s spring game this weekend, where he’ll have an opportunity to recruit some other top targets for LSU.

Login to view embedded media
Berry is one of LSU's other five-star commits expected to be in attendance as well. Berry has been a frequent visitor to LSU including multiple stops during spring practice. He's always a guy that's great to have on campus to be in the ear of prospective recruits, because he's the kind of talent a lot of these top guys want to play with.

Moses is one of LSU's biggest recruiters and is always great to get him on campus around other top prospects so he can do his thing. He'll have his recruiting hat on all weekend making his pitch for the Tigers to LSU's top targets on campus this weekend.

Five-Star athlete DJ Pickett is not too far removed from a visit to LSU that “felt like home”, Corey Raymond has been leading the charge for Pickett’s services which has propelled the Tigers to the top of Pickett’s short list. He’ll be back on campus again for another visit this weekend to check out LSU’s spring game.

The Mississippi State commit has been making the rounds in the southeast. He recently made a trip to Gainesville to check in with Florida and is expected to be in Baton Rouge this weekend during LSU’s spring game.

One of LSU’s top remaining targets at WR is set to return to campus this weekend.

Login to view embedded media
Alabama and South Carolina have been the two schools pushing the hardest thus far. LSU getting him on campus with a lot of other big name prospects including Keylan Moses will certainly help the Tigers case.

Login to view embedded media
One of the top remaining OL targets for LSU is Mario Nash. There's been a ton of buzz about in state Mississippi State and he's fresh off a visit to Tallahassee to check out FSU, but he'll return to Baton Rouge for another visit this weekend to check out the Tigers spring game. This is another guy that is great to get on campus with guys like Bryce Underwood and Harlem Berry.

Great job by Bo Davis here getting his former recruit at Texas locked in for an unofficial visit. Brown is expected to be in Baton Rouge for LSU's spring game and has actively been taking visits since Bo Davis' departure from Texas.

A couple of 2027 names to remember

Login to view embedded media
Fast rising 2027 WR “Boobie” Feaster already has over 40+ offers on the table heading into his sophomore season. LSU entered the mix last summer and will get the talented WR on campus this weekend for LSU’s spring game.


Login to view embedded media
Another 2027 prospect expected in is Forney (TX) offensive lineman Jordan Carraway. Carraway is still looking for an offer from LSU and is an early name to keep an eye on for 2027.

Matt McMahon and LSU have poached Jalen Courtney-Williams from Creighton to fill a vacant assistant coach role. He played a big role in recruiting at Creighton as he helped the Blue Jays reach the Elite Eight and Sweet 16 the last two seasons.
