Will anyone have to be processed?

Short answer - Yes

Long answer- LSU currently sits at 13 scholarship players and 2 walk on’s for this year. 13 schollys is max.

Assuming Hyatt would be on scholarship (regardless if he redshirts), then one of the current scholarship players would have to go. The consensus seems to be Rachal or Sims are the likely candidates. I don’t think Wade would risk the bad PR to just process them though, especially since, at least in Sims case, they have been participating in summer workouts. That part is debatable on Rachal as I have noted he has been inconspicuously missing from some pics of team during summer and not mentioned in any reports or staff interviews.

Only other way around it would be for Hyatt to come on as a preferred walk-on since he may redshirt. And if Wade is able to pull that off, well then you might as well go ahead and name him one of the best coaches ever (hyperbole intended) if he manages to talk a reclassified 4 star top 150 player to come as a preferred walk-on. Haha
