re: LSU safety Ryan Yaites enters NCAA transfer portal

Yeah, and the guys behind them actually looked better in the spring game and have way more upside. So you continue to bench ride them when Burns/Sage have continued to hurt the defense for years? Then risk more transfers? Your upside is better with the young guys and if the portal had anyone available, I'd seriously consider pushing for at least 1 S. So take your pick growing pains with guys who have upside or keep the 2 guys in front of them you know will hurt the defense.


Burns and Ryan are who they are and it's probably not going to change. All 3 of the "veteran" players looked significantly worse in spring. Could be adjustment period and change in coaching/scheme but Sage has never really shown anything in his time here but limitations. I will give that Burns did look pretty good his first half of BK's first year so maybe it was just coaching why he regressed last year. Either way, if a big S is an opportunity in the portal they need to find room for it because it's a major handicap right now on defense.
