With some success over the past couple of weekends, LSU baseball has slowly made its way back into the conversation for hosting a regional after a disappointing start in SEC play. Pitching is going to be a critical element for the Tigers as they finish with series against Bama, Ole Miss, and Vandy over the next three weekends. Blake Money opened the season as LSU’s top starter, but now Coach Jay Johnson says his role is up in the air.

Cut 21 (20) “…really believe that.”

Four teams from Louisiana are currently projected to make the NCAA baseball tournament field of 64 according to D-1-baseball-dot-com. LSU gets in a 15-seed, with Louisiana Tech, McNeese, and U-L expected to join the Tigers in the postseason.

Matt McMahon continues to quickly add talent to what had been a barren LSU basketball roster just weeks ago. Today, the Tigers announced that former Murray State forward KJ Williams is headed to Baton Rouge. Williams was the Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year last season and was twice named national player of the week. The 6-10 senior averaged 18 points and eight rebounds in 34 games. LSU now has 11 players on scholarship, with six transfers, two returnees, and three high school signees. Guard Adam Miller is also contemplating a return to the program after entering the transfer portal.

In an exclusive interview with Tiger Rag Editor Tim Buckley, LSU football coach Brian Kelly says that he’s open to having both a starter and a change-of-pace QB as the 2022 season begins. Kelly says that a starter likely won’t be named until August. For the entire story visit TigerRag-dot-com.
