re: LSU Players in Portal / Academic Calendar

Also, they can commit to transferring to X Univ. and still take classes at LSU.

They can commit, but AFAIK nothing is official until they actually transfer. I’m not aware of any NLI equivalent for transfer players.

It seems like the timing puts both the players and school at risk if the player doesn’t transfer prior to the spring semester. National signing day for HS recruits is in February. If a transfer commit changes their mind in April, the school could be left scrambling and their only options at that point are the players left in the portal. Schools could get nervous and re-neg on offers as well, leaving the player high and dry.

Could be an interesting dynamic as we move forward.
