A little info on Tolan..

Not going to disclose everything specifically, but Tolan has been dealing with some things personally, and it is not believed to him being “homesick”.
He needs to figure some things out, and he is weighing his options on how he should do that.
It is still possible he could remove his name at the end of this. Would not surprise me.
It will be interesting to see what he ultimately does.

Thanks for the update, wishing him well.

Makes sense. If he does move on we really need to tamper a LB from somewhere because the portal is slim pickings right now and we're thin as hell.
If they don't address this in portal offenses are going to target it as the weakness every game. Penn and Weeks need to take a big jump in progression before they can be relied on.
I know the staff recognizes this as a weakness and haven't made moves yet because...where are you going to make moves in the portal? Like I said, LBs are weak in it. Nobody really stands out. It's kinda surprising. Maybe they can identify a small college guy that can convert like we did with Cox.

If there was ever a staff here that could be trusted that would be competent to handle situations like this it's this one. Genuinely seems to understand all aspects of the player.

Ultimately, if a football career is something he is interested in, I can't imagine there are many better opportunities out there for him than what presents itself here.
House will be here another couple seasons for sure, and he likely would be on the field the majority of the time.

If pickings are to thin now they could wait until after the spring to pick up someone once people start jumping ship because of being buried on depth chart.

Thanks for the insight

I hope he can get everything together and love to have him stay at LSU

Trying to get that Gordon paycheck!

Until he is something else, he is still a Tiger and we should be rooting for him to get the support and time he needs to work out whatever is going on.
Walk a mile in a man's shoes before we criticize (me included).

Hoping everything works out for him as a young man period.

I bumped into his family outside the dome for the SECCG. They all seemed like great people and loved LSU.
I'm sure there is more to the story. Hope it all works out for the kid.

You said a lot without saying nothing. Congrats.

Yes, it's still possible he could remove his name, just like how we were getting Evan Stewart in the transfer portal and just like we had multiple top-100 overall defensive tackles locked in as silent flips a month before signing day, right?
How do you guys still trust these guys after they are repeatedly and demonstrably wrong with 95% of their predictions? Like it doesn't strike you as the slightest bit convenient that every single prediction these "insiders" ever make is wildly positive in favor of LSU? Jesus, this board is the most gullible group of people on planet earth.

Assuming this is true, it’s a good reminder that our snap assumptions about players and their reasons for doing things are usually wrong. The first two main guesses on Tolan were discipline issues or tampering/NIL and I’m just as guilty as several of you in jumping to one conclusion or the other.
Sounds like it may be neither and just a kid trying to figure shite out. I hope he stays, but whatever happens, I hope he’s able to find the piece of mind he’s looking for.

I mean what is there to figure out? Drugs?
Posted on 1/5/23 at 3:39 pm to Tigerbait1977
You have no fricking clue, dude can figure it out without entering the portal. No fricking way that is what’s happening here.
Posted on 1/5/23 at 6:28 pm to Tigerbait1977
Nah, he’s bag chasing. He’s at Auburn right now. He would’ve been a starting LB for us next year. It is what it is.

LOOKS LIKE HE WILL BE A TIGER BUT NOT LSU. $$$$$$$$AUBURN
