I first learned about Ryan Williams when I attended an event he spoke at when I lived in NYC. He merged his Financial technology company, Cadre with Yieldstreet at an undisclosed valuation but safe to say he's a billionaire.

He's was born and raised in Baton Rogue and a self professed obsessive LSU fan.

quote:

What do you do with the time when you have . . .

A free five minutes? If I have five free minutes, I’m probably checking ESPN.com or LSU football recruiting rankings. I’m from Louisiana and I’m a die-hard LSU Tigers fan.
LINK

And do you know who happens to be one of Cadre's co-founders? Jared Kushner.

Now check this latest tweet from Ryan Williams. LINK

Conclusion, Ryan Williams converted Jared Kushner into an a LSU fan




eta: I'm not joking either. I've seen multiple articles where Ryan talks about LSU. I think he's a player and why would he say "hat tip Jared Kusher" at the end of that tweet? It's not like he's saying Jared wrote that or he got that idea. No, I think he's saying thank you Jared for helping to make this happen.

Spaht is not a “sleeper”

He is probably in the top 2 at LSU, maybe more than Graves

Holden Spaht's father is a partner at a BR law firm and his mother is/was a law professor at LSU.

Sounds like big money isn’t an obstacle … we just need the coach to make it all happen. And a QB

I don't think Holden is a sleeper anymore. Maybe last year he was.

Now if Jared can bring attention to his FIL...

That's an obvious one and not a sleeper. I would guess 99% of fans have never heard of this Ryan Williams. And I couldn't even put a percentage on who would think that Jared Kusher is potentially involved with paying the buyout of LSU's head coach
