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.

Yes. If he does not get more NIL money he will be back.

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.

BK owes them nothing. Dudes a freshman behind 2 upperclassmen. Cry me a river

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".

Agreed.

I'm used to LSU fans championing for the backup QB. Not sure I've ever seen it for the 3rd string QB. Maybe Craig Nall?

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

Im not sure what else he would've been doing? You have a new system with a first year coach and coordinator and portal starting QB. I would imagine they were pressed for time to get 2 QBs enough quality reps in the scrimmage portion of practice, much less 3. I guess we could've had a walk-on run scout team but again, if Im taking over a program in the condition we were in, I've got bigger worries than giving week of game reps to a true freshman 3rd string QB. Now one could argue he should've been #2 but Kelly and Denbrock didn't think so, and that's a whole other discussion.

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.

But even then he's only 1 QB away. 1 poor QB play or injury away. Getting much more meaningful reps in his development early on.

I wish he'd stay at LSU though. I'm not a prideful person.
