re: Spring Portal needs: 2 starting DTs (4/15-4/30)

I don't want to be an arse, but there really is no way to know that this far out.

Shea has stated explicitly that there's at least one DT--as in, a specific person--who is already all but locked up at the moment, to be made official once the spring portal period opens. He didn't name names (obviously) but he said that this particular guy is a legitimate starter-caliber player.


No idea who that might mean, but the timing of it all seems to suggest that it's someone (a) at a program without much chance of fighting off the big boys to keep him, and (b) who may be graduating this semester (or has some other academics-related reason for delaying his transfer/enrollment). It probably also means that (c) there's some type of connection with LSU that he doesn't have to other big programs (otherwise there'd be other big programs fighting and we wouldn't be so certain that we'd be able to land him).


I'm not really sure who fits those criteria, but I'm sure someone on here can probably figure it out given enough time and effort lol.



Edit: just saw someone else say Patrick Jenkins from Tulane. That actually fits perfectly. At Tulane (who surely can't beat out LSU), could very well be graduating this semester (enrolled a semester early but also transferred so the timeline fits), from Louisiana and formerly recruited by LSU. Hell yeah, that's a solid take imo.
