Good morning, all, and happy Saturday. Another happy football Saturday. The second day of the NFL draft was supposed to be quiet for LSU hopefuls. Instead, the Tigers sent three more players to the pros — Ed Ingram (to the Vikings), Cordale Flott (to the Giants) and Ty Davis-Price (to the 49ers). One of the better prospects, hometown linebacker Damone Clark, is still waiting. Wilson Alexander explains why Clark’s spinal fusion surgery has affected his pro chances — at least for now. We’ll have more draft coverage throughout the weekend. Baseball: Don’t look now, but Ma’Khail Hilliard gave LSU yet another quality start; the bullpen did its thing; and three homers paved the way to a win in the Tigers’ series opener against Georgia. Here’s how to watch and listen to Saturday’s game, as well as what to watch for. Also: Get caught up on why rest has been a priority for a handful of regulars. Softball: LSU got off to a roaring start Friday against Florida, with a season-high 17 hits in a 9-1 win. The teams play again Saturday. Track and field: The weather is warming up, and the outdoor regular season is coming to an end. Here’s what’s on tap for the LSU Invitational on Saturday, just a stone’s throw from Tiger Stadium. Beach volleyball: The Tigers take on that old nemesis, Florida State, on Saturday morning at the CCSA tournament. Finally: Here’s the story of how women's tennis coaches Julia and Mike Sell, their careers marked by success and controversy, left LSU “to pursue other opportunities.” Thank you for reading, The LSU beat team (Scott Rabalais, Sheldon Mickles, Wilson Alexander and Leah Vann) |
