Sad, but the currently reality.
It is sad, but it happens both ways and I don't find this situation to be about that as much as others. He is likely more loyal to his offensive coaches that gave him the opportunity. It's understandable.

Yeah….Nooooo. We lost 2 backs to the portal. You can’t go into the season with 2 running backs and one of them being injury prone….runningback is a high injury risk position.
I agree with the guy you’re responding to in that Durham and Berry—when healthy—are both very good. But there’s absolutely no arguing your point that you can’t play a football season with 2 scholarship RBs. You can’t play with only 3.
If Lane can keep Durham and Berry—and I think he will prioritize them as far as retainees—AND get Lacy—I think he will prioritize him too, obviously—that would be the best 3 RBs at LSU at the same time since LF7, Guice, and Williams. And it STILL won’t be enough.
Lane runs the shite out of the ball, and I don’t think he’s gonna want to go into the season without 4 scholarship RBs at an absolute minimum, but probably 5. So the question becomes, how do recruit guys from the portal to come in and be your 4th and 5th string backs? And if you promise them they’ll be any higher, you risk losing Durham or Berry. Even if they’re better, you’re back down to 3 or 4 scholarship backs again.
So my question is are there any good local high school backs in the ‘26 class that didn’t sign in the early period? Would be a lot easier to grab a couple of those and convince them
to be 4th or 5th on the depth chart, still get carries as true freshmen, but with the ability to work their way up the depth chart in the next couple of years. And if it doesn’t work out, they can always transfer.
That’s a much harder sell to 3rd or 4th year guys at a position that has such a short shelf life anyway. But if anybody can do it, it’s Lane. They gave Chambliss $500k with the intention that he would never start a game. And Chambliss took it even though Temple was giving him $300k+ to be their starter. So I wouldn’t be surprised if RB is a position where we “overspend” on some guys because that position is so vital for his offense.
Also wouldn’t surprise me if he takes a couple WRs similar to Zavion Thomas who have the skillset to move to RB in an emergency in case we have bad injury luck at that position. As brilliant as Lane is as an offensive mind, his offense just doesn’t work without being able to run the ball.

People putting a lot of faith in Chambliss being eligible for next season. There has to be other alternatives to Chambliss and Underwood with both being seemingly long shots.
I'm sorry, but until I see the NCAA actually deny a waiver I am going to feel like they get granted. Maybe this is the one time, but we'll see. I don't see any reason for concern yet.

The Trinidad Chambliss waiver case involves the Ole Miss quarterback seeking an extra year of eligibility for the 2026 season, as DII redshirt rules differ from DI, and he played sparingly at Ferris State early on. He filed a waiver request to get this year, with Ole Miss compiling a strong case, and while his future at Ole Miss or following former coach Lane Kiffin to LSU is rumored, he's awaiting a decision from the NCAA on his eligibility for 2026.
I feel like he should get it, but if not LSU will have options.
What is strange to me is how many people are apathetic to the idea of Chambliss.

I figure this is about more than money which one can put up the best numbers in which offense to get drafted the highest and it’s easily LSU!

While I agree, timing is the issue I think scares people the most.

I’m not apathetic, but I just don’t want to put all our eggs in 1 basket, no matter who it is. Even if we knew 100% that Chambliss had another year. Injuries happen, and Chambliss is on the smaller side. And do we know how much of his success is due to him or Lane’s development of him. Obviously both. And there’s probably a sentiment that despite the portal and NIL commitment, it’s gonna be hard to completely overhaul the roster and put together a legit NC contender in Year 1, so some people probably prefer guys with more than 1 year of eligibility remaining.
But I’m anxious to see if Lane handles the QB position here like he did at Ole Miss and not throw a huge bag at THE top QB in the portal. Maybe that was due to limitations at Ole Miss, but he had 6 QBs on the roster this year. He gave Chambliss $500k thinking he would never start a game there. It seems he likes to have several good options, have them compete, and see who rises to the top.
I made this cruel analogy a couple of weeks ago. But let’s say Lane has 15 “points” for lack of a better word to go get 2 QBs. Does he prefer a 9 and a 6, or an 8 and a 7? Or maybe he can talk the NIL guys into paying for 2 9s.
It’s going to be fascinating to watch play out.

There's also this probably silly notion from Ole Miss circles that they have legal standing somehow to block Chambliss and Lacy from transferring to LSU in particular. That camp has been hubris-filled and wrong about everything so far, but they are types to definitely cut off their noses to spite their faces and try to throw a bunch of obstacles up in the legal realm.
I doubt it's true but maybe there is a risk of delaying things somehow.

For some reason his Wiki does not include 2021. That explains my misunderstanding

The thing that is generally missed in all the reporting on this issue and in any online statistical bios for Chambliss is that he didn’t play at all in 2021 in what was his actual redshirt season. The focus seems to be on 2022 when he played only 2 games but didn’t receive a redshirt. Everyone assumes that was just a difference in rules between DII and DI, but it really isn’t. He wouldn’t have been eligible for a second redshirt under DI rules either unless they can somehow prove there was a medical reason his season was cut short. The details of the waiver claim are somewhat sketchy, so I don’t know if they have a strong claim for a medical redshirt or not, but on the surface this appears to be far from a slam dunk.

They can’t “break the bank “ because they need to field the rest of the team.

So they are planning on setting a legal precedent here? Which court cases do they have from the past that support their positions. These guys just can’t accept facts.

Doesn't 90% of all Louisiana construction contracts awarded price in the NIL donation factor to grab transfers/recruits? Ole Miss has to split that three ways with USM and Miss State.

Lacy will follow Lane here and Durham will follow Frank
