Sucks but part of the process. They’ll be fine and LSU will be fine

Well shite. Always figured this would be the case if Max didn't make it at LSU.

Exactly. Short term sacrifices for a better long term.

I mean… he was objectively not very good. Stats were okay but failed the eyeball test miserably

Dude at least salvaged two bad years with wins over Florida and Aggie. I will always appreciate him for that.

We really need a real tight end.

No slight to bech and Mashburn.

Kole Taylor definitely gets some slight.

But really we cant go another year without a real tight end.

I think we saw plenty enough of Max to make the statement he wasn’t a great QB.
Unfortunately he was in a pretty bad system, with a terrible Oline, but he had many issues himself.
Hopefully he makes it somewhere else, but I’m actually happy to move on.

I’m going to trust Brain Kelly here and expect something better moving forward.


ETA: I’m assuming he was talking about Max.

Jake is going to be a tough loss, but we’ll be fine.

He’ll probably commit to UGA.

Hate to lose Deion. I think when healthy, he may be the best of those freshmen receivers.

Wonder if this means that Kelly is looking for another QB in the portal?
.
Or if he told them that it would be an open competition and nothing was guaranteed and they do not want to take the chance that he will get beat out?

I'd go get Noah Gindorff from North Dakota State. He isn't in the portal yet, but he was supposed to enter the draft this year and all he got was 18 catches in that offense.

He's 6-6 and 265 and runs a 4.7. Go recruit him off NDSU's roster. It worked for Cox, it'll work for this guy. And he'll solidify the position for a year and give Kelly a chance to recruit and develop his guys.

I can understand the move with Max but Jake would have been a huge go to target for the new offense. It’s well known that BK loves to use the TE as a big weapon in the power game. Run and pass. I’m sure we can find someone else to take that spot but would have been a good fit for him and LSU imo.
