I think it's safe to say that LSU whiffed on several portal players last year, so I'm sure CBK has put a new person in charge of identifying talent in the portal, right?

Who was the best portal player last year? I'm struggling to find one.

Do you want to talk about how good they hit in 2022? Or just point out the negative? Plus, they had some good transfers in this past season (Swinson, Jefferson, Diggs)

Couldn’t agree more. But I’m afraid it might be the same morons that also plucked a kid of out of Tempe before he eventually won the Heisman

Nope. He doesn’t.

He wants to point out only the negatives.

BK picks a heisman trophy winner the year before.

And now OP’s bar (not that anyone cares about OPs bar) heisman-high.

Forgot about slade roy. My man from ECU. Geaux Pirates.

Diggs. If you can’t name him, you probably weren’t watching our games.

I’m beginning to think you are one of many trolls from opposing fanbases who hang around here trying to stir shite

Add shand to that as well.

I know savion Jones has worst gap integrity on earth, but our de room is very deep. Shand and swinson both shined last 4 games of the year, and shand lined up inside on some rush downs. Savion, swinson, shand, womack, howard... looking forward to this group next year.

You obviously don't follow LSU football, yet you're still here bitching about things you don't know.

Quit being a bitch, it's not a good look on you (or anyone).

LSU's highest grade players:

Offene: Jayden Daniels (transfer)
defense: Braydn Swinson (transer)

Care to elaborate on your analysis of all the whiffs?

And Zy Alexander was coming into his own when he got hurt. They did miss on some transfers, but they also hit on some. It is off to a good start this year.

Yes, this year they’re letting me and my chickens do the evaluations.
If I could just get them to quit pecking on the ground when we are watching film

Who did they whiff on? The players that got hurt? Or the players that had issues ?

It can be said that Brian Polian hit in 2022 and they missed in 2023 without him

For clarity everyone on this board was excited about Harris and Chestnut. Those two are probably the biggest let downs.

Diggs was an incredible addition, but we signed a boat load of transfer portal guys last year and if you can only name him, that's a problem.

Tell me another transfer portal player that had a big impact on the program. Aaron Anderson showed flashes here and there, but was also nonexistent in several games. We have to hit on a lot more players than 1 or 2 each recruiting cycle.

If you name anyone on the defense, then you don't understand that the portal is supposed to bring in impact players, not projects. Our defense ranked as one of the worst defenses in the entire country.

If we can't use the portal to our advantage, then we need to stick to signing just HS players.

Swinson was a great find.

I bet he had the most pressures on the team(at least 2nd)

Jefferson
Alexander
Sshand
