What needs to happen on this site is for people to stop thinking we are going to get the best class ever, we are keeping our 5 stars, next year LA is loaded, etc. I’ve known since the 5 for 5 class not to get our hopes up and that we will get the leftovers. We aren’t the household name like we were 15 years ago. I try to tell you guys every year that flips are going to happen and that our class won’t stay intact, and I get ridiculed for it. I’ve been right EVERY year, including the 5 for 5 year when I said we might get 2 or 3 max
It’s good to be optimistic, but some of you need to take off the purple and gold goggles

Until it happens you're still full of shite

Losing Underwood and probably Meadows sucks but we need more than just those 2 positions.

NGL...Barstool has a solid boycot from me...I'm not giving any clicks, time..nothing to Portnoy...

Fine, he can support his school...I can want to see him destitute and homeless.

As far as what happens with this class....man, it sure seems as if the hits in football just keep on coming.

have a contingency plan, for "in case" a situation like this happens... not put all of your eggs in a basket, where LSU doesn't really have a footing, is far from home, and doesn't historically pull a lot of talent from...

they sold out, way early on this one player, and now we are left at the alter, looking foolish as frick....

with the QB position, as important as it is, to not have a contingency is absolutely insane
That's kind of a stupid position to take.

What kind of a contingency plan do you want? You're not going to be able to get two 5* QBs in one class to commit to LSU. In fact, you're not going to be able to get any QB worth a damn to commit to LSU behind a 5* QB.

So do you not take a 5* QB, so you can get another QB in your class?

Only one of them can play.

LSU went after the #1 QB. He was committed for a long time. LSU got burned.

Here are your realistic contingency plans:
The QBs on the roster.
The QBs in the portal.
The HS QBs next year.

we shouldn't have been in the position in the first place... we should have still been actively recruiting other top rated QBs even with him verballed, and we damn sure should have ramped it up when Michigan let Carter Smith go and started pursuing Underwood... we didn't, and now look where we are... again...


again, who do you think we’re recruiting on a “oh why don’t you come if this other guy we like better flips?”

What level of QB listens to that kind of recruiting pitch?

Phillips supposedly was turned off by Kelly's rant the other day


What rant? And where did you hear this from? Losing both him and Pickett would be a program destroyer

Yeah, I expect Berry, Pickett and Meadows to flip. They will get offered mire money. LSU may get soft committals then lose them near signing day to the big money schools. LSU may have to concentrate on the 3 stars and coach them up rather than chasing after guys who only use the Tigers as leverage.

that’s not true, we went hard after George MacIntyre but he committed elsewhere when Bryce committed. thats how this works.

Good QBs don’t hang out waiting to see if you have a spot or not.

Pickett wearing LSU gloves warming up tonight, it’s nothing but something I guess.

We've got to keep the DTs [Williams and Brown] and the CBs. Pickett, Phillips and Anding are absolutely critical if the program is going to progress [instead of regress] in 2025 and 2026 on the field.

it starts with not setting yourself up to be in this position in the first place... you start a contingency plan in ADVANCE of a bad thing happening, not WHEN it happens... you do understand that right? b/c your question certainly makes it seem like you don't...


You still haven’t listed a single viable contingency plan

You’re sky screaming my friend
