re: Ja’keem Jackson predicted to LSU

Yea this is one position that seems to be turning around rather quickly!

DL and LB are following suit also. I feel like the defense will be back to elite rather soon in the next year maybe 2 if we can hold on to players.

That's right. PFF has been criticized quite a bit for their work. But because their "grades" are published on a lot of college sites, people just accept whatever the say.

There is no one on this board who paid attention to a second-year corner from Florida who was injured the majority of the year. They just roam the internet and believe what frustrated fans say, as well as some "grades" they see online.

These folks are hardly football experts. I'll go with LSU coaches over the internet talent scouts.

I think the real problem with our roster isn't the portal, it's the 2023 class being an all time let down. Building through the portal like Ole Miss is just not sustainable.

I disagree. If LSU has the money to buy players every year, then it's completely sustainable.

Also, arguing that the portal isn't sustainable while citing an LSU recruiting class as the reason for LSU's problems is not wise. One could easily argue that high school recruiting isn't sustainable or reliable for building a college program.

The 2023 recruiting class is more likely a sign of things to come.

Bro we going shopping this Christmas. Thought LSU was poor or something. Least that's what I've been hearing from people that don't know shite on here.

College football was kind of a mixed bag this year. Ole Miss, Indiana, Ohio State and others rode transfer classes to really good seasons, while Florida State crashed and burned with their portal class just one year after going undefeated with the previous portal class.

I can see problems with always relying heavily on transfers. Money is obviously a concern. Can a school afford to pay the kind of money every year that Ohio State reportedly did?

If you're taking a bunch of guys that have just one year of eligibility, you've got to hit on pretty much every one, because they'll be out the door soon. There's really no such thing as development with them.

I also think it takes a certain type of coach and staff to be successful relying really heavily on the portal. Can you evaluate them, recruit them, the mold all those new personalities into a cohesive team in eight months? I would imagine it's very hard, and some coaches might not be that adaptable or proficient with it. Kiffin seems pretty comfortable and good at it...for now.

I honestly don't know if you can consistently be a championship caliber team like that, or it will be a roller coaster ride. Maybe after a couple more years we will have an answer to that, but Kiffin, whether he likes it or not, will be the test subject.

I will say, though, that Jaxson Dart was the most important transfer he's had, by far. He's been the heart and soul of that team, and benn the face of the program. If there's another Jaxson Dart in the portal, I sure hope LSU lands him.

UF fans say he’s not good and was burnt toast the 2 games he started this season

I don't care what their fans think. I have been critical of CR in the past, but there's one thing that I would never question Corey Raymond about, and that's his eye for good corners. If CR wants him then so do i.

LSU has owned Florida until last year Sun Belt Billy hasn't won Jackshit and you're talking about Bitch Slapping, Delusional bullshite

Did you see the 2nd half of this year's game? The most recent game against FL?
