Is he coming back? Dude was on an absolute heater in the postseason. The moment never felt too big for him.

I truly hope he comes back! That dude earned his turn, and played lights out once he did.
Seems doubtful, swap in Aiva Arquette and call it a day
Something to consider - Kent wasn't an every day player until Montgomery got hurt. Chestnut was the starter at 2nd during the bulk of the season. If Kent felt slighted in the least, that may have given him motivation to shop around during the season. If he leaves, it may have been lined up well before he got his shot in the tournament and performed so exceptionally well.
I don't want him to leave, but I'm not going to be surprised if he does.

Don't think there were any deals cut. LSU is trying hard. He just had a visit over weekend. According to locked on lsu. We need catcher and as. Replace exiting pitchers as well.
SS
one thing to remember...
the program may need to wait on the draft...to hand out the final NIL deals for returning players
have to hold some back right now in case a couple of players go lower than expected

J Kent never smiled because he knew the BS going on with snakenagle
I think Kent is waiting to see what happens honestly with draft and Camarillo.
I think he knows he would start on this team at short or second regardless. But you also have Chestnut trying to get an extra year also. And we brought in some infielders also.
But that is just my guess

I wish Ali all the very best. Love that guy. Would also love to have a place for him if he wants to come home.
it's very understandable that he wants to be a starter
needs to showcase his talents for a full season for the draft

I thought Camarillo was staying now?
I hope we convince Kent to come back. Great player who has more upside remaining
"It's just another corps trip boys, we'll march in behind the band"
He withdrew from the portal but still may go pro.
Kent wants to play shortstop next year. That apparently is his top priority above everything else. So, unless Ali signs, I think it unlikely that he will return. Our staff last year concluded that his bat wasn't enough to overcome Camarillo's edge with the glove.
Would've thought now that shlong gobbler is gone that Kent would've been all in
That'll suck if he leaves... he's a badass

This. Arquette has more experience and probably a better hitter.24601 said:

Come on Kaeden. Spend another year with the 12th Man!

Will not transfer, but could still go pro depending on his draft position.

Anyone that would start Chestnut over Kent should not be coaching. Chestnut is a great pinch runner.
Would love to have Kent back! Hope he chooses the Good guys.

Kent would start here. If not, we hired the wrong coach.
Middle infield is middle infield. If he TRULY believes he has the stuff to be an MLB shortstop, PROVE it at the college level at 2nd. The only difference is the turn at 2nd for double plays and PERCEPTION!

He doesn't have the range to play SS. His dad knows that. He's a great second baseman. Don't ditch that just because your dad played second. But if Kent believes what lsu is telling him, bye and God help him.
I'll take Kent over anybody in the portal. I don't care what their stats say or if some scout thinks they're better. Kent is a great player and shines in the clutch when the lights are the brightest. He's a winning player, and he's OUR guy. He's spent two years patiently waiting and being a versatile utility player. He's earned his turn, and I'm rooting for him to get it here. Obviously having Camarillo was big for us this year, but I immediately felt for Kaeden last year when we signed Ali because his spot had just but given away. I like to see loyalty to our guys, I think it's a better play in the long run.

Maybe he also blames Early for not starting. IDK, and there is always money
And the fact that the longest throws on the infield are from SS. The shortest are from 2bRogerTheShrubber said:

I doubt that scenario. Regardless Kent was as good a 2nd baseman as Chestnut and proved his ability at the plate when it mattered the most.
I love Chestnut, he's a baller, but Kent was at the least 5th best bat on the team.
IMO if Chestnut thought Schloss treated him bad, I can only imagine how Kent felt. We have Chestnut's word on how he was treated, but Schloss demonstrated his disdain for Kent and was fairly open about it.

Not sure if this is a serious post. There are massive differences between short and second. Not only in skill set, range, and arm strength, but also in responsibility. Yes many middle infielders are versatile enough to play both, but it's not the same position.
I've been one of the biggest Kent supporters since his fish year. His glove at 2B has been amazing and his dad was a superb at 2B, but I'm guessing he wants to tread a path to glory that doesn't get overshadowed by his dad. I really hope he hangs on because he's a phenomenal player and will, for sure, be a starter at any school he joins, but I would surely love for him to stick with the good guys.

Schloss is gone. So, does Kent dislike Early also.
Let Michael talk with the young man.

Kaeden allegedly wants to play SS. If Ali's draft status isn't where he expects, ge could come back. That allegedly would send Kaeden elsewhere. So, he may wait for the draft to make a decision. Allegedly.
