Exactly. To me it is worrisome that the staff believed that Cole Tracy wasn't going to be counted in this class. I am happy that they have him but they should have done their homework

Yeah, somebody fricked up. Likely on LSU's side. It is a possibility, remote, that the NCAA was asked for clarification and the answer steered them wrong.

But at the end of the day whether the kicker counts or not is unrelated to the rejected appeal on Seth Stewart. Related, but seperate incidents. It is important to remember it is the SEC that rejected the appeal on Stewart, not the NCAA. Keeping my remote possibility above in mind it's possible the SEC steered somebody wrong, not NCAA. Still a remote possibility of that too however.

I'm sticking with the assumption that somebody on the LSU fricked this up by not doing their homework. And I put that blame on our nazi compliance department. They are known to act as police (after the fact) rather than an integral part in planning (before the fact). There is a definite history of that with them.
