June 13: LSU baseball gets busy in the transfer portal and Paul Mainieri returns to coaching

Advocate Beat Writer Koki Riley joins columnist Scott Rabalais to discuss ongoing changes to the LSU Baseball roster from both the transfer portal, incoming freshmen, and Junior College transfers. We begin with a synopsis from Koki on all the players thought to be leaving, joining, or staying with the Tigers. He discusses what Zac Cowan, Luis Hernandez, and Chandler Dorsey among other incoming transfers bring to the table. The transfer discussion continues with who is leaving the team via the portal, including Cam Johnson and Aiden Moffett. We then preview the incoming freshman class and discuss the likelihood of the top draft prospects like Cam Caminiti, William Schmidt, and Konnor Griffin joining the Tigers in the spring. The discussion then turns to the coaching side, and the topic of Paul Mainieri accepting the head coaching position at South Carolina. Koki and Rab discuss Mainieri's desire to come out of retirement and how the opportunity arose. We then discuss the rumors of Jay Johnson being recruited for a Texas coaching position. Rab wraps up by discussing the former LSU Beach Volleyball players being confirmed to play in the Summer Olympics in Paris. He will be at the games covering several LSU athletes competing this year.
