Personal news: Sunday was my last day as the #LSU sports reporter for The Advertiser and USA TODAY Sports. But that’s not all. Starting soon in the new year I will begin a new position as the LSU baseball and football reporter for The Advocate and Nola.com

NEW: What does Steven Milam’s return mean for #LSU? I wrote about the Tigers’ new-look infield, how Milam boosts the lineup, his explanation for returning and more! nola.com/sports/lsu/steven-m…

Blaize Ward visited Vanderbilt with other visits lined up to LSU, Mississippi State Georgia. Ultimately, he never took those visits, finding what he was looking for with the #VandyBoys. Jason Esposito's plan was a big part of the selling point: tennessean.com/story/sports/…

Milam: "When I thought about the next chapter, one thing became clear: I want another shot. Another shot at leaving my mark, to go out my way and hold that trophy in Omaha." #LSU

Chemistry and history right here between these 2, your MIF during their Roos days @TopTierBaseball

Cade Kurland on June 1st, after Troy eliminated Florida: "I think I committed here (Florida), the end of my eighth-grade year, and it’s kind of all I’ve ever known, all I’ve ever wanted. Just the opportunity to play for the school and play with guys like Wyatt Langford and them, and spend time with these guys on and off the field and build relationships that’ll last forever... I have no regrets, and having an opportunity to go to Omaha twice, and being on such a winning program over the years, there’s nowhere else I’d rather be.”

Source confirms: Cade Kurland is also pulling his name out of the draft and is coming to #LSU. The Tigers probably have their infield for next season. 3B: Dawson Park SS: Steven Milam 2B: Cade Kurland 1B: Mason Braun

Steven Milam is coming back to #LSU, his mother confirms to The Advocate. Massive news for an LSU team that has already added two infielders and brought in the top hitter in the portal (per Baseball America).

Cade Kurland provides proven SEC production at a position where #LSU was young (2B). And as a 5th-year senior, it's a vastly different profile from the other transfers. Committing a month before the draft may mean that he forgoes it. We'll see. nola.com/sports/lsu/lsu-base…

#LSU makes a fascinating addition out of the portal, grabbing Florida 2B Cade Kurland. Injuries have limited his trajectory, but Kurland hit 9 homers with a .853 OPS this year.

Nearly 3 months after LSU rehired Will Wade as its basketball coach, his ties to NC State remain relevant. Here's why NC State is investigating LSU over the way Wade left Raleigh to return to Baton Rouge nola.com/sports/lsu/lsu-bask…

Updated my roster check-in story from this morning with the news of Watters' arrival. He definitely fills a couple of needs for the Tigers, but there are still a few holes that remain in next season's lineup. #LSU nola.com/sports/lsu/lsu-base…

NEW: 10 days into portal season, I took a look at where #LSU’s roster stands now. What holes still need to be filled? Where are reinforcements coming from the recruiting class? All of that and more: nola.com/sports/lsu/lsu-base…
