Thankfully, all exiting portal players were trash and all incoming are studs.

All in on 2025, time to win it all

I like how they focused on the transfer portal this offseason. They were aggressive on players who have proven production from big schools. Not many backups this go around

What changed? Could it possibly be they had the money to do so? How about the illiterates not knowing NIL money was split at LSU? Or the fact that Kelly donated 1MM to nutrition center and this time was able to donate 1MM back to TAF with a challenge to be more aggressive? They aren’t done.

Make no mistake, they are nowhere near Texas or TAMU or UGA or Michigan or tOSU in wealthy Alum who will donate sports cars for advertising transactions. That is not part of their respective “NIL funds”.

What the frick is the point of this thread?

I think the rant is pretty honest.

Rickie Collins wasn’t the missing piece to a championship.

Neither was Swann.

But I think most people aren’t happy Pimpton, Womack and Daniels left.

Whether he likes it or not (he did it purposefully), Brian Kelly has created a monster of expectations. Winning a National Championship is extremely difficult for even the best teams. Let's hope we can get there, because his prognostication will certainly be an unwinding if we don't even sniff the game. For the record, I believe we are contenders. Geaux Tigers.

With this transfer class, I think we should have a legit 3 year run at playoffs/title.

We will need to find a QB next year.

We will need to follow this recruiting class with another like it.

In a perfect world we wouldn't need as big a transfer class. Quality recruiting can limit that need.

It’s sustainable if we can cut our roster holes in half.

Suggs was worth a roster spot too

So the OP can be a Dick, I gress

Should not have voted to let rich alumni of A&M and Texas into SEC but when we did there was no NIL just Challengers and other money under the table stuff

Need to get the 3* and 4* boys who want to play in Death Valley

Seriously, that isn't too off from reality. As a top tier SEC program, we will generally be in the running for anyone in the country at a position of need, while having the advantage of taking better players to fill position of departing players who left due to playing time or were requested to leave. It is not unlike recruiting and the 80/20 rule applies.

This isn't across the board, and there will be cases where you wish we had kept certain players (Landon Jackson and CJ Daniels possibly) while missing out on a position of need in the portal (Walter Nolan or any safety worth a shite last year).

If the portal is not a net gain for us year to year, we are in serious trouble. Will those players fit the locker room and play hard? Well, that's a different conversation that concerns the portal as a whole.
