Put down the rotten vegetables and hear me out...

He was pretty damn good at Tenner his freshman year. Got entirely too big for his breeches after Carson Beck go paid to xfer (read: his daddy got greedy) and we all know the disaster that followed.
Well surely that has humbled both Nico and his idiot father.

He needs a place to rebuild his draft prospects.
LSU needs a transfer QB that can plug and play for 2026.

Nico can xfer immediately since UCLA fired their coach. He can burn this year as a redshirt, sit in meetings and learn the offense, and be ready for spring practice.

Tell me this isnt a Win - Win ?

He demanded a ton of money from Tennessee at the worst possible time…right after spring practice. Tennessee told him to kick rocks. I would hope LSU doesn’t want him either.

BK would probably be as good of a QB as Nico

This is a valid reason not to bring him in.

The "he sucks" narrative is just hogwash though.
UCLA sucks. He was good at Tenner - that wasnt a fluke. All the tools are there.

But yes, he might be locker room cancer.

If he wants to walk on and make zero money I’d let him have a roster spot, but that’s it.

Heck no. Dude is utter trash. Was mid at Tennessee with athletes all around him. Sucks at UCLA.

No. He's fricking garbage. As a player and as a person.

Fool me once - Tennesse
Fool me twice - UCLA

Surely with Nuss' and Daniels' performance we don't need to go that route.
