Report: LSU Has Not Added Dae’Quan Wright, Zxavian Harris To The Roster Ahead Of Clemson

LSU will not add Dae'Quan Wright or Zxavian Harris to its roster for Saturday night's season opener against Clemson, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel.

Additional reports indicate LSU added former Notre Dame edge rusher Junior Tuihalamaka to its roster.

Thamel reported Friday night that LSU submitted a 103-player roster for the Clemson game, leaving Wright and Harris off the list. The Tigers still have two available roster spots, meaning both players could potentially be added later this season.

Both Wright and Harris are enrolled at LSU, which keeps the door open for them to join the roster at a later date.

The news comes one day after Wright and Harris received a favorable ruling in Baton Rouge as part of the ongoing eligibility battle involving the SEC and former professional players.

Wright and Harris both indicated after Thursday's hearing that they expected to play for LSU this season. Wright said he was prepared to play immediately, while Harris said he did not expect to play against Clemson as he continues progressing from an injury.

LSU will now move forward without either player for Saturday night's highly anticipated matchup against Clemson in Tiger Stadium.

Sounds like a sound approach was taken, especially if Harris can't play right now anyway. The saber rattling can die down for a while and we can laser focus on playing football.

Both are expected to sign with Alabama shortly pending a change in policy from the SEC

It would be the least surprising thing in all of this.

And that would be okay with the NCAA and the SEC.

Im sorry but I THOUGHT I understood the distinction for 5th yr class of '22 players, BUT: what makes the ND guy Tuihalamaka different from the other two? There's obviously a legal technicality difference if they have still left Wrigh & Harris off the offcial roster, out of caution because of.....???

He never signed a pro contract, so Junior Tuihalamaka was never part of this issue.

The distinction in LSU’s case is simple: LSU’s two former NFL additions signed NFL contracts. The other players recently added back to college rosters did not. This is not about attending an NFL practice, minicamp, workout, or tryout—it is about that signature on a professional contract.

That is what this entire mess is actually about.

Neither player signed an “NFL Contract” or they'd both be under contract with an NFL Team.

Sir, you seem to be on a roll saying without saying so just keep saying without saying ?. You have the answer in your pocket, that was a 50-50 poke without poking. Kind of like an answer/statement/question all three rolled into one that can be played either way.. kinda like a swinging bunt no throw safe at first.. counts as a hit
Hahaha

I knew Lane was going to make the smart move when Dabo started bitching about breach of contract if LSU played former NFL players.

That takes all the wind out of Clemson's sails if they hoped for LSU to have to forfeit a win (which will happen for LSU Saturday night).

How?

By refusing to get involved and rock a boat that already has no rudder. College football is lawless right now. No need to make it worse.

Don’t agree with this. Add them.

Unless all the other SEC Teams follow suit with their former “NFL Players” I don’t see why LSU caved. I also don’t understand why a better case wasn’t made publicly about the other SEC teams playing former Pro Athletes.

No, you go to Federal court fight your the suit. Get some type of judgment against a meaningless suit that is without foundation. They get to talk about other players that have camped and may well play this week and see how the commissioner explains this. It should be all or none without equivocation. Expect LSU to appeal anything that comes down from the Alabama court and have the upper hand if those players from other teams do play this week.
