Quote instead of link: "I'm told that Tulane QB Michael Pratt is heavily considering a transfer to Power 5 after the season instead of entering the QB loaded draft"



I know every time a thought enters a player's head to enter portal from another school, we get an unnecessary post on here - so apologies for being that guy.


I am sure many will disagree, but I would love to have Pratt next year over Nuss. Granted, it would be very shitty to string Nuss along then take a portal QB - which is why I imagine this will never happen.

BUT hypothetically, which is mainly what TD is about (hypotheticals, pipe dreams, scenarios that never happen), I think Pratt would be much better for LSU. I get that Nuss has the big arm and "gun-slinger" mentality. But Pratt is old, has the Burrow mobility to him (not fast like Jayden, but mobile/tough enough to get yards on the ground), and is looking to bolster draft status - which Denbrock is proving to do.

Sorry in advance to the loyal Nuss supporters



ETA: Really hope he doesn't make his way to Bama.

I dont know who is the better QB. Using your own criteria though, the cost benefit of dumping Nuss for Pratt seems low. Role with Nuss or get

1. an "old QB" (Pratt is <6mos older than Nuss), guessing you mean more experienced
2. a slightly more mobile QB
3. a QB looking to up his draft status (Both want to be drafted as highly as possible)

The public perception hit alone might outweigh these factors much less the possibility that Nussmeier is more talented.

We don't need a QB next year. It's all the Nuss Bus next year!

Over Nuss I doubt it. He would be a good QB if we didn’t have Nuss, though

Ideally, we sign underwood and Nuss is the starter next year. He has an outstanding year and decides to leave to be a top 5 pick, although it would be nice to keep him for 2 years. Underwood, Hurley and Collins battle for the starting position in 2025.

I highly doubt they are going to be looking for a starting QB in the portal considering how patient Nussmeier has been and he CLEARLY has the talent to do big things here.

I'm not against taking maybe an elite level experienced QB if one's available (EXTREMELY rare this happens to begin with), but I'm not sure Pratt is the next Joe Burrow necessarily. Good QB, but definitely better than Nussmeier? Not sure there from what we've seen from Nussmeier in past.

IF we get a transfer QB which we may definitely do it's going to be someone like a Eli Holstein, and I'm not saying we get him, just a younger talented QB who isnt necessarily looking to start right away for us to build better depth behind Nussmeier.

If he goes somewhere, its somewhere that will guarantee him a starting role.

He's not going anywhere where he as to compete.

He could get drafted this year relatively early if he came out.

The transfer portal today is just as much about asset allocation as it is about anything else

Would you rather pay x amount of NIL dollars for Pratt who may or may not be an upgrade over Nuss, or would you rather spend that money on a player at another position who can 100% step in and make an impact?
