re: Don’t expect this LSU offense to be elite until Walker Howard is the QB

So Jamie calls the shots for LSU now? He's the one who got fed to the wolves early at LSU and you think LSU is going to do the same thing to his son next year? I'm fine by developing him on the field but you're going to have tons of growing pains if that's your decision at QB. I'd have to think if an opportunity in the portal presents itself you absolutely pursue it and let Howard sit #2 ready to takeover his RS Sophomore year. I think he'll be great for us but immediately starting him next year is going to have lots of highs and plenty of lows that I doubt the fanbase will be patient over.

I don’t think we will be starter shopping in the portal this season. We will need depth if Nuss leaves, but they aren’t going to jeopardize Collins’ commitment, so I don’t they will even look until after he signs unless there’s someone with interest they can’t pass on.

We will also be trying to sell someone on coming in and competing against Howard, a kid with program ties who’s already been here for a year. There’s no way Kelly makes any promises to hand the starting job to someone in the portal and risks Howard leaving because of it.
