Any chance Howard backs out of the portal?

I’m sure it probably isn’t, but there is always seems to be some poster on here that “knows something everyone else doesn’t.” It’d be nice I guess, but I know we want guys here that want to be Tigers no matter what.

I wouldn’t eliminate any chance, but that’s going to between BK and the Howard’s.

I would imagine there is some animosity now and a long bridge to cross.

It's possible, but there are teams that want him, so it would be based on Walker really wanting to come back. If that were the case, I don't think he would've entered.

Maybe, just maybe he doesn't find a situation that he likes, but how often does that happen? 1% of the time?

It's my understanding that when you hit the portal you are essentially a free agent.

Scholarships are a one year obligation. They don't have to be renewed.

Enter the portal, gives the school an "out".

Pretty obvious he wants to play at a program that is in a position to have to play a RSFr as their starting QB. Most likely not any of the usual contenders. So looking at it from that angle, we're probably happy to not be in that position right now. Probably wont ever be under Kelly's watch.

It's petty but I would rather portal shop. You want your QB to have some mental fortitude and be a leader.

Transfer portal after a true freshman year just seems weak asf.

I get the kid didn't want to run scout team again and I never agreed with that decision. I think you have to give a talent like that legitimate coaching and opportunity.

But to quit and leave because of it? That's soft,

That's not what I want from a "leader"

And frankly Nuss looks like he's oozing with potential. I didn't see that in limited time from Walker

Mike Scarborough broke the story based upon his connection with the Howard family. He was asked that questions and said no.

Yes, there is. Have an upvote. The portal is also a negotiating tool. WH doesn’t have to leave LSU

I have no clue what WH is gonna do, or what CBK thinks about WH going to the portal—and no one else here does either.

If he goes to Ole Miss or TCU he is still going to be 2nd string.

His dad sucked. I'm glad he's gone.

I'm curious to see if the NCAA's recent statement for more stringent enforcement regarding multiple transfers has an effect on his decision, specifically having to justify the reason for transferring again for waiver approval (i.e. injury, sexual abuse, mental health, etc.). The possibility of placing himself in another bad situation and the risk involved would definitely be more of a disadvantage following his portal entry.

I give 0 shits about a quarter back that’s literally done nothing at Lsu. Good luck to him but good riddens

Do not want. He obviously doesn’t think he can beat out Nussmeier (he didn’t even try) so let him go. Bye.

Not likely he’ll return. As has been posted elsewhere if Walker stays here he’s likely relegated to 3rd string reps, and losing out on a year of development and possibly meaningful playing time.
If I’m Coach Kelly one of my biggest concerns at the QB position would be if Daniels had an early season injury like Masson Smith a year ago and Nuss has a season good enough to send him to the NFL. Now you’re headed back to the portal for a veteran QB, and here we go again.

No. He is afraid he can't compete with Nuss
