LSU doubled the size of its 2027 recruiting class in the last few days. The Tigers added five-star edge rusher KJ Green and four-star wideout Cade Cooper

LSU also earned a commitment from three-star running back Brennan Lacey over the weekend. Lacey is a 6-foot-1, 187-pound speedster out of Frisco, Texas who has been shooting up recruiting boards. Andre Champagne of 247Sports says the only reason he’s only a three-star is that he started his high school career as a wide receiver.

Cut 17 (17)  “…in the offense.”

Northwestern State left-handed pitcher Brody Trosclair announced he’d be transferring to Tennessee. The Southland Conference Freshman of the Year also made visits to LSU and Arkansas.

LSU kept three-star Northwest High School cornerback Markez Davis in the state. Northwest football coach Chris Edwards says when Davis was in the sixth grade, his junior high coach told him he would change the Northwest program one day. Edwards has been the Raiders’ head coach for 13 years and is an Opelousas native. He says he can’t remember another Power Four commit from the school.

Cut 20 (15) “…for the program.”

Coastal Carolina head baseball coach Kevin Schnall has been hired as the new head coach for South Carolina. Schnall has a 93-and-36 record with the Chanticleers and led them to the championship series of the College World Series against LSU in his first season last year. He led the Chants to a regional appearance this year and has been a candidate for the South Carolina job since Paul Mainieri left midseason.
