Would be a really nice get but we need a DE as well if they're going this route. Personally would like to see us snag a CB. CB, DE, DT and you're good.

Only one roster spot available at the moment.

It’s fricking terrible. But most here will ignore it for the moment because it seems like it’s benefiting LSU



But all of this lawlessness is absolutely fricking terrible for the long term outlook of the sport

LSU currently have 112 players on the roster according to their website.
The roster limit is 105 according to NCAA rules.

Don’t know why I got downvoted for my previous comment, but here we are.

Couldn’t they just get rid of some walk-ons?

That’ll be the case. You’ll hear about it soon enough.

Correct. Load management. Same reason JRoss was not present at practice last time out.

If we take some guys, I would imagine that’s what they do? I’m not too sure. This is all new.

If we get the opportunity to play 12-16 games we will need all the bodies we can get. 115 man roster so take who you can. Its like others have stated. We didnt make the rules but if you dont play this ridiculous game someone else will and they will get the players

Not sure where you are getting the 115 roster size, but everything I have read from NCAA through the media states the roster limit for football in 2026 is 105 total roster spots inclusive of any walk-ons and scholarship players.

My bad. I carried a fat finger from somewhere. I know I saw 115 and thought that was ridiculous. 105 kinda is to be honest.

Harris had arrests in 2023 and 2024, including allegations involving DUI/fleeing in one incident and domestic violence/obstruction in another. NFL.com’s own scouting report specifically said teams would need to investigate those arrests as part of their evaluation.

Went undrafted and was picked up by the Saints as an UFA.
Was subsequently waived

Yeah, I don’t love our depth at DT considering we’re counting so much on true freshmen, but I don’t want any part of Harris.

Everybody keeps saying that we’re counting on them as we have no other options… Blocton & Green were both transfers with significant playing time. DM was a full time starter for us last year. Shone & Brandon Brown fill out the rest of the room, and they both have played snaps in their careers.

I really don’t think Deuce & Rich Anderson would be getting this type of run if they weren’t earning it.

There will come a day where a young man plays the first half for Ole Miss and the second half for LSU (just joking prolly not)

Also will be a day where you see a guy who left college after three years, got drafted and signs an NFL contract that allows him to play on Saturdays as well.

The Saturday-Sunday player. Get ready its coming
