It's just a little frustrating how all these big names have entered the portal and we're just not a factor for any of them. Especially at positions of need like CB and S.




for better or for worse this is BK's strategy. we seek for overlooked prospects originally from LA and avoid the big fish. it is what it is, have to see how the results play out.

Very good but not on Tyrann level. Tyrann doesn’t miss that tackle against Lacy on that touchdown right before halftime.

no kidding.

This guy will be the poster child for NIL abuse. He’ll just jump ship next year again for a bigger contract.

I don't think LSU has to play the NIL game the way most schools do. We have a natural built in advantage in great athletes born and raised in our state, but always undervalued nationally.

How many times have we seen kids come to LSU without much fanfare and blow up?

Good lord guys not every single Bama transfer is an automatic lock to UGA lol

I feel like every time a big stud player announces a transfer, everybody just spits out UGA

I don’t think we’re avoiding them, we’re just not in the bidding war game.

Its not only the NIL with BK its does the kid have a
team mindset or IS IT $$$. A@M found out the hard way that
just signing guys who just want money aint the way to go.

Absolutely.... He was the best player on the field as a true freshman. Was Alabama's best player.

f you’d told me at the beginning of the NIL era LSU would have 0 chance of getting players of this caliber out of the portal I would say your crazy. Especially a DB….But yea….LSU has 0 chance lol


I'm curious why this seems to be the consensus here, don't we have the number 1 player committed out of highschool from Michigan for 25? With Frank and now Bo and Raymond recruiting I don't think I would count anyone out.

The coach he committed to retired ! For anyone that thinks that most kids commit to school and not the coaches ! You are fooling yourself, and with the transfer portal it’s more evident

Not a whiff if you don’t take a swing.

We'll probably just bring in a two star from LaPlace that will be 10x better

A bit surprising but OSU did finish 2nd for him out of HS and his dad is friends with OSU DBs coach.
