I understand how HS guys like Wilcox and Rocker are falling because of strong commitments... but how are the 2 LSU guys... Zach Watson and Zack Hess still on the board?

They have two yrs of eligibility left, so the urgency that a Junior would have to sign in order to avoid becoming a potential senior sign with limited leverage, is not present.

I don’t know what the competition is like at St. Thomas, but Marerro had a very good year this year with the bat.

From the news post, is their mascot the dirtbags or is this some moniker I am unaware of?

From the news post, is their mascot the dirtbags or is this some moniker I am unaware of? Long Beach State athletic programs are known as the 49ers. Except the baseball team - which after long referring to themselves as the dirtdogs in an affectionate, secondary and unofficial manner have since co-opted the term in an official capacity. I'm not sure when that changed from unofficial to official, but not too long ago...

Ill give the kid the benefit of the doubt, but the off the field issues are worrisome to me. Basically suspended even before the DUI arrest. If he can put that all behind him, then he could be an interesting below spot guy.

They could draft one of the wiggles with this pick for all I care.

I'm not sure when that changed from unofficial to official, but not too long ago... When I was an SID at Brown, I referred to the Long Beach State water polo team as the Dirtbags once in a game recap because I didn't realize it was exclusively a baseball thing. Our WP coach was REALLY confused when he read the writeup.
