I don't think it's all NIL, as LSU did lose a fair amount to the draft. They lost HS signees- Griffin, Caminiti, Bateman, Fountain; 1 portal commit Luke Hayden, and their top returning pitcher Griffin Herring. There are probably a few others they could lose in rounds 11-20.

Curiel and Arrambide are better off going to college, and it's possible that they were told the same by MLB scouts.
Schmidt was a big surprise as many thought he would be a late 1st/high 2nd round pick. I'm sure he's getting NIL but nothing like what his signing bonus would have been.

The Schmidt boy is good. Attended a very dominant high school, Catholic High. My youngest son's best friend is about to attend Catholic as an 8th grader. I am not giving his name, but am fully expecting him to be a top talent in a few years. He plays for Team USA, has a huge bat, and can hit upper 80's with his fb. He is a giant at 6'-2", 180#

LSU is not going anywhere ….. they have a traditional program with unlimited $$ for baseball . Johnson is good recruiter ( pretty hard to not be in that environment) , but we will be fine . We are going to win and lose recruiting battles with them …. But there is enough talent for both programs to continue to be regular participants in Omaha .
