They lied about him not transferring because it was what people wanted to hear and it bought them time. They don't care about it being a bad look. At this point, they're just putting together an RFP for the next suckers that are willing to deal with him


Maybe the family believed him and he said he didn’t want to leave. Wasn’t he operated on ? If so it seems like it was legit injury.
I mean, Idk how many of y’all were football players but I can promise you that playing in a football game is about the most fun thing you can do in life. Even if he wasn’t wanting to stay here past this season, if he wasn’t hurt he would have played.

You can tell he loves the game the way he plays it. Nobody passes up the chance to play in a college football game in tiger stadium unless they are hurt or about to be drafted and scared that some lingering injury could cause issues for their draft stock.

Football players play football and love it

frick Ricks, Cali made bitch! McGlothern is better and makes plays! You don’t think we will recruit another badass DB, or 3???? C’mon man


Hahahah dude no.
The other guy on page 2 or so said that he hasn’t contributed and he’s not that great.

He’s gonna be a 1 at rounder and is probably the best zone corner lsu has had. Which I know isn’t that hard because we hardly ever played zone in the past , but his zone coverage was great from day 1.
Mcglotherns a completely different player , he’s not fast enough to be an nfl type corner and if he gets Bigger they may move him to saftey . He’s good and our best guy besides flott at this time but he has to get quicker and hopefully faster to be a nfl corner

Another quitter O recruited


You act like it’s not a good idea to try and recruit the best players. Ricks and stingley were the best two freshmen corners we’ve had in their respective freshman years.

Nick saban and Kirby smart all recruited the same guys.

Mcglothern was a 5 star at the beginning of his senior year or at least end of junior year. He fell off based on a position change.
Everyone’s after these guys and we got them. It’s a plus, even with the shite happening now.

We don’t beat Florida without ricks last year and stingley was instrumental in our 2019 season.

I’ll definitely say that it was super interesting to see how much the defense improved without Stingley and Ricks. So many people on this website look solely at recruiting stars and don’t take into account how much a shitty attitude can destroy a team on a day to day basis



You're confusing correlation with causation. The improvement on D was all about scheme. When those 2 were playing, I don't know that we ran a single blitz.



The improvement on scheme, I suspect, was due to someone keeping their hand out of the cookie jar, so to speak.

Kid has been a diva from day one. Please fricking leave. Talented, but temperamental. Needs his dose of attention all to often. Let him go and let’s start with a clean slate with the new coach. ???

The portal should be to help kids who are having trouble getting playin grime. A starter and All-American shouldn’t be allowed to transfer to an in conference school without sitting a year. This combined with NIL will be a college free agency where star players can go to the school with the highest bidders offering advertisement money.

"We will be Fine."

One of the more annoying Pump Lump declarations of defiance.

ULSU ain't "Fine" currently and hasn't been in that state in quite some time........

He may very well be a first rounder, but McGlothern will go higher. You can bookmark, like, hate, what the frick ever, but Ricks is a PUSSY…. Mark it down how

OSU bound if I had to guess


Just read where that is his preferred destination..... He probably would have gone there if Urban Meyer didn't resign and they have always been high on his list...... From what I've read he would fit in nicely there as 2 DB's are leaving even though they have oodles of high level freshmen available to replace them..... I got a feeling it is either Ohio State or Georgia.. That is the scuttlebutt.

Dwight McGlothern made his arse quit


That's my theory, he was beaten out for the position in practices and didn't want to go to the NFL draft as a second string db

"You already have enough resources, so you're not allowed to try to improve your standing."

There's a word for that. It starts with "S" and rhymes with "schmocialism."

O is responsible for building that culture when he was Miles' recruiting coordinator. He even came up with the idea to pitch a three-year degree plan to parents (knowing most of the kids they were recruiting had no snowball's chance in hell of making that work).
