Mainieri now waits to see how many players and signees he loses to professional baseball. The first two rounds of the Major League Baseball draft are tonight. Zack Hess and Zach Watson are draft eligible sophomores and could be selected in the first few rounds. Mainieri is also hoping to hang on to Destrehan right-hander Landon Marceaux, who is the top high school prospect in the state and signed to play at LSU.

The Ragin Cajuns also have a couple of draft eligible junior pitchers, left-hander Hogan Harris and right hander Nick Lee.

Former LSU running back Kevin Faulk is on the ballot for induction into the College Football Hall of Fame next year. The Carencro native is the leading rusher in LSU history with 4,557 yards and he’s the SEC’s all-time leader in all-purpose yards with 6,833. Faulk still holds 10 LSU records and became the first LSU back to average 100 yards per game druing his entire career.

Former Louisiana Tech coach Maxie Lambright is also on the ballot. He led Tech to three consecutive Division Two national titiles from 1972-74. He also led the program into Division One playing status in 1975 and the Bulldogs earned two Independence Bowl berths.

The state’s top defensive back, Derek Stingley from Dunham High School in Baton Rouge, will make his commitment known on June 20th. In a twitter post, Stingley says his decision will be final and he plans to be an early enrollee. LSU, along with Florida, Texas and Alabama are recruiting him.
