Will Lane finish strong and salvage this thing? Otherwise, 2026 might be an incredibly rough year for LSU.

Who else do we have the inside track on? Any more big fish left in the pond that LSU has a legitimate chance at?

I’m willing to bet we get a shite ton of transfers from the Ole Miss offense

LSU will be fine man, I’m sure we will get a lot of commitments throughout the week.

Be patient, there are >4500 players in the portal & more jumping in literally every hour of the day.

Little shaky right now….. lots of uncertainty. I don’t think we will be any worse….

And there are 4 really good teams with players that will enter the portal after they are eliminated

Most of the players we are trying to get are not in the portal yet

Yep!
Could be a sad year or it could wind up being the greatest portal haul ever!
Too early to tell and not important enough to lose sleep over!

I think folks are setting themselves up for disappointment on this front.

How so? Their head coach and all their position coaches outside the OL coach are all at LSU.

Judge stayed.

Also, Ole Miss will likely pay anything to avoid a mass exodus.

How many do you think? With the way you are talking I bet I’d take the under on whatever number you are going to say.

Yeah i thought we were going to explode right out the gate

Kiffin didn’t help that line of thinking by hyping up January 2nd on all of his socials everyday leading up to it

That Ole Miss win killed us

Agree. I’m not panicking but I expected more positive movement. Ah well more wait and see.

We need at least:

3 QBs
2 RBs
7 WR
1 TE
6 OL
3 EDGE
2 DT
1 LB
1 CB
1 Safety
1 K
