re: Ahmad Hudson doesn't seem happy with LSU's attention to him lately vs Nebraska

These entitled babies who have not accomplished anything other than being a good high school football player are really getting old.

Why are people still missing that it’s not about more money. He is already taking less money at LSU. He is fine with the NIL package at LSU. This is about basketball not money. And we can talk about how it can’t be done all we won’t, but the kid wants to play both and is convinced that he can. Nebraska is convinced that he can. LSU needs to figure out what they are doing over at the basketball operations building and decide if they think he can do both. Heck, we can’t even find a competent team for this season. You would expect basketball to be all in when you look at that roster we have.

Again, I don’t know what he’s going to do. Neither would surprise me at this point. But if I had to guess, my guess would be that he sticks with LSU. He really likes that part of LSU a lot.

And if we strike out in the portal?

Why are we acting like Kiffin hasn't been locking down portal players for years now?

Kiffin got an almost ENTIRE new set of WRs after he lost his group to the NFL in 2025. His top two WRs in 2024 (1030 7 TDs 900 9 TDs) were 2nd and 4th round draft picks. His #3 had 875 and was a sophomore, and he lost his #4 (550 6 TDs) to eligibility. Three of those 4 were portal players. He also lost his QB (A PORTAL PLAYER) to the 1st round. Go look up where all those receivers were ranked coming out of high school. Go see which ones came from Louisiana.

In 2025 his sophomore Cayden Lee returned and he brought in Wallace (930 4 TD , Stribling (810 6 TD) and Deuce (685 2 TD) from the portal. Lee added 635 and 4 TD as the #3. The three portal players were above him in yards and 2 in catches. His freshman Watkins had 373 and a TD. He also brought in a new QB.

From the 2025 WR group he had at Ole Miss, one went to the 2nd round (almost first round), one is 4th in the SEC in receiving averaging 100 yards and 1 TD per game, one is 2nd in receiving in the SEC for another team averaging 103 yards and 1 TD per game, and his last is #6 in the SEC in receiving averaging 70 yards per game for LSU.

If you slowpoke arse people don't shut the ever living hell up about WRs and TEs when we have the portal Lane MF King Kiffin as our head coach. This damn man had multiple TEs per year the last couple years combining for 700-800 yards and 7-8 TDs at Ole Miss.

I was pissed at him for not playing aggressive and all, but ain't no damn way am I losing my mind because some Louisiana kids don't want to stay in state even when given top 5 money at their position. The amount of money is so damn high that like one school is willing to pay for it for Royal. If Hudson has basketball dreams, let him go play basketball. We need a TE dedicated to playing TE. Guys that want to be here.

This group of WRs can all come back next year with an improved Leavitt and better OL. We got young guys like Barber, Wright, and Mack waiting in the wings. Legit athletic guys. Very talented receivers. I would rather they build a moving wall of an OL from the portal and some high school developed guys. This group of players with a dominant OL will be unstoppable.

Yall really need to stop with this bullshite. There are a finite number of good players in the portal. You don't want to have to build a team through the portal.

You want to get a player like trey dez green in your system for 3 or 4 years. Not just one. And that's if there are even any elite tight ends in the portal.

You can do that in the portal

How many one and dones do you think Kiffin got to play for him at Ole Miss? His QB was a 3 year guy, Alexander was a multi year starter, Tre Harris was a multi year starter, Jordan Watkins was a multi year starter. Those were portal guys. Then he got guys from high school like Lee and Winnie. His TE Prieskorn came from Memphis and in 2 years had 850 and 7 TDs in a multi TE offense. Dae'Quan Wright was a multi year starting TE from VT. He combined for 1030 yards and 9 TDs in 2 years with Kiffin. Caleb Odom (Bama transfer who had 7 catches before he transfered), over the last year and 4 games has 430 yards and 5 TDs. In 12 games this year he is on pace for
690 yards and 3-4 TDs.

Prieskorn #6 TE in portal
Wright #14 TE in portal
Odom #45 WR in portal (came out of HS as TE, Bama made him a WR and Ole Miss turned him back into a TE)

Those were the TEs they got in back to back to back years. Seems like they are going to bulk up Mothershed in the offseason and get him to around 230-235lbs. Odom was around 225 as a freshman at Bama and is now around 245 as a junior in his 2nd year at Ole Miss.

Kiffin doesn't build for one year in the portal. He treats the portal like a multi year plan.

Almost no contact with the basketball staff.

It’s not like the basketball staff hasn’t been very busy since Wade was hired trying to build a staff and getting players since he had none. Then he had to go the international route which takes even more time recruiting. Now, he’s been trying to get them eligible, after changes in the rules, while navigating the Stankey shite show. All while having to run practices and having preseason games.

I have no idea why he doesn’t prioritize constant communication with Hudson! (Sarcasm)

I’m sure he’s got people on staff in communication with Hudson and his family. If Hudson thinks he deserves more “love” from him personally, I’m sure he will once some of those eligibility issues are resolved.

However, Wade may just think his attention should go toward other recruits because, as others have pointed out, why spend a lot of time and effort recruiting a kid who probably won’t even be playing basketball. See Green, Marcus Spears, and others as examples.

The only players I can think of who played both sports successfully at a high level in the modern era were Charlie Ward and Julius Peppers, both in the 90’s.

If the wr is the next chase, and the te might be the next kyle pitts. Maybe yeah... grab 5 portal oline with college experience and reps, maturity. Depends

if you had tons of cash, wouldn’t you pay to see a better LSU team?

It’s like one of the few things outside my family I actually care about
