Many here are such rabid and loyal LSU fans, all that matters is who will help us win football games. The realities of young me lives, outside of football, don’t matter much to many. However, those realities don’t go away. Most of the Louisiana kids are aware of how big it is to play for you loyal fans and LSU. They have to live with their life decisions. Missing out play for you and Louisiana is a big deal for them. Gotta love your loyalty and passionno matter your criticism. It won’t be long, before we win another Championship!

He must want to be a veterinarian when he grows up. I hear Auburn has one of the best vet programs.

Verge ought to go with his son, I am embarrassed for him! All the Title 9 litigation may shorten his tenure anyway.

I wanted to get away from where I grew up. He might realize how bad Auburn is once you tire of the pretty trees or whatever.

Coach Kelly appears to be the right HC to assemble a team of coaches that will help to build players inner strength and character. An OC and DC are needed for some kids to have a better idea of the anticipated road map to having a successful program with the associated program mentors and coaches.

Derek Mason makes good men. That is why many LSU fans wanted him at LSU. LSU does not have a defensive coordinator, right now. Corey Raymond is gone. He can not serve as a mentor and is in Florida trying to stop the bleeding. This kid will always bleed purple and gold. LSU is his home. Wisdom is better than smarts. Life is bigger than football. An Ausberry knows that. You go where you sense a mentor can make you into a great man and, secondly, a good or great football player. Sure, we all wanted him at LSU. Most would guess Verge wanted him there more than anyone. We love our Louisiana kids, even if they dream outside of the borders. Great fathers know that kids are separate beings and are not appendages. They also know that your greatest investment in building your worth by building your inner strength and character. NIL money can not do that and material things are the root of all evil. Material things will come, when you have gotten your education, matured and built your character. We are proud of Verge’s hardwork and his young offspring’s talents!

Lot's of understandable comments but things that don't add up.... LSU dad in system, other kids wondering why not going to LSU, prepped AT the LSU school, going to another below par city instead of better places/schools, could legit start or play soon. ALL this doesn't add up to me, I smell a rat.

Grown men still mad at kids I see. He grew up in LSU’s campus and wants to expand his horizons. Good for him.
