And in steps Russaw or whatever his name is. Seems to be a lot of these guys are ditching once they see we are bringing in better talent.

This agency must have all of their clients in the portal. It’s ridiculous.

LSUs entire roster will be in the portal

that's what it's apparently going to come to... where it is a literal blank slate, automatically, for every single team, every single year... and you are compiling a completely new roster, from the ground up, every single year.. some guys will want to stay, but there will be a period where there is literally zero players on the team, and until they re-sign or transfer, no one has a spot on any team... it's rapidly heading in that direction

Do you suggest we just chain them to a squat rack in the football ops building? This is on the players. Not the teams.

This guy was a massive get for LSU. The type of guy that would be a stud with development. It's almost better to just wait and get guys like this in the portal now.

If congress doesn’t act soon, the nuclear option is going to end up being the solution to all this. One or the other is going to happen.

Fishing, hunting, crabbing, throwing rocks and the list goes on and on of the things I’ll be doing instead of watching this shite get worse than it is now.

Guys we will be 6-6 in two years maybe three years. This is starting to remind me of the 2023 recruiting class. That 2023 recruiting class is the reason we went 7-6 this year, everybody left and we had no base. Looking like history will repeat itself god I hope I’m wrong.

LSU leaks, “ hey y’all, we have lots of money, come get you some”.

LSU roster, “my agent, my uncle, my girlfriend, my barber……..”

A lot of these "nobodies" are young and have been developing and not starting so we truthfully dont know what theyre capable of. Can't keep losing young talent though, especially not guys that have high potential


And I’ll add that from a process standpoint finding a replacement in the portal takes time, devoting scouting staff, energy, etc. from a results standpoint what you bring in may be just as big of a question mark as what we had in hand.

I’m not referencing Braker in particular just speaking in general

These guys DGAF. If the kid enters and gets paid, so do they. If the kid has to go to JUCO because he has no spot any more, what do they care?

Yeah, if he puts it all together at his size and speed, he could be a very good player. Was excited when lsu signed him.
