Anyone else surprised by the lack of transfers after the staff acquisitions?

Yes. Considering we have a great DL coach and 0 signees. A bit perplexed

Spots are limited so we have to be selective. If there's a can't miss guy that wants to come, obviously we would take him.

I'll be more surprised if we don't add anyone come May.

If I understand it right the only guys that can enter portal now are from schools that lost a coach.
It may be quiet until spring

Give it some time microwave generation.

Perception vs Reality. The perception of LSU fans around the portal is currently fear- based. LSU fans make fear- based assumptions that aren’t based in things they actually know. Thus the actual strategy that our excellent staff has is unknown, but the fear of is not seeming to have a strategy is what gets kicked around this board as if it’s a fact. We don’t know what we don’t know. And this staff is always very quiet. I have faith they will address the DL and CB issue we have . Additions and subtractions between now and the spring period. They will just do it on their time, not ours.

We are going to get a few more transfers, we are far from done recruiting DT and CB specifically.

Trey Amos will be a top CB target, and we will get 1-2 DT transfers zero doubt. There's just hardly any quality at DT right now in portal.

We also arent going scorched earth on the portal because as it stands right now we have like 89 scholarship players so 4 guys on the current roster need to leave for us to even hit numbers. We take say 3 more guys between portal/high school class that's 7 guys off the current roster who STILL need to take a hike.

Give me a great dline man in the portal the last week? Just one that we’d want to kick another guy off the team to make room for

It seems we’re still getting beat out by the big money schools. They can throw cash at whatever, we can’t

This is such a tired take that it's almost comical it is still being repeated. LSU is not hurting for money. They just spent a ton of it getting the coaches they want. They also flipped several guys from the aggies who were one of the biggest spenders around. You think they decided to come play for a discount?

Look at the upcoming recruiting class, you think any of those guys decided to ignore the dump trucks full of cash and come play for the love of the game at LSU? Not getting into a bidding war over players obviously playing both sides is far different than not wanting to spend money.

I think what he meant was we arent just throwing money everywhere like some schools do.

Dezz Ricks was simply a case of a guy we were interested in but he wanted a much bigger bag than we were willing to pay and told him not interested. We can pay for some guys, but we arent going to overpay for someone if that makes sense. We are not going out there especially and competing with the absurdly high offers going around like someone Caleb Downs would get.
