And…we’re staring down a second consecutive 10 win season with a West division championship after two .500 seasons.


So which is it?

Coach O wrecked the program for a decade?

Or, we’ve now had a second consecutive 10 win season?

Can’t have it both ways people.

You are not too bright. The 39 Scholarship players (which was the actual total) available for the Kansas State bowl game was a fact. Baskerville and Emory were on Scholarship but not available to play so we had 41 left over from O.

Kelly signed 15 out of HS and brought in 15 Portal guys for 2022. LSU was at 71 players on 247 composite. LSU brought in 15 more from portal in 2023. LSU was at 80 Scholarship players to start 2023 (Still short of the 85 limit). Based on Seniors and JR's like Malki and BT JR going pro, and LSU will likely have a few guys hit the portal, LSU will have to go to the portal again this year and maybe get 8-10 this year, better than 15 each of the last 2 years, but still we need guys from the portal.

Teams like UGA, Bama, Texas, Ohio State, Michigan did not have to bring in 30 portal guys the last 2 years.

In summary, the mess that O left is still having a residual effect and will so going into the 2024 season.

O seriously crippled the program. It is what it is.

Kelly has been able to slap bandaids on it, because of the portal.
QB in 22 and 23, Daniels
RB in 23, Diggs
starting corners in 22 and 23; they didn't pan out this year.
Starting MLB in 23, didn't look good.
Starting DT in 22 and 23, Wingo.
Safety in 22 and 23, Burns

We could run down the list more; but the point is that he has brought guys in that were better than what was left on the roster. The fact that some of them suck (such as the cornerbacks) makes that even more damning.

The good news is that we should start seeing recruits taking these spots over next year; but without the portal this was a losing team the past 2 seasons.
