We're also going to find great Qbs who win heisman trophies for us! We've had 2 in the past 5 years. What makes you think that another great one won't want to play for LSU, one of the Top brands in collegiate athletics?

No reason to lose this kid.


What would you suggest LSU has done differently? What did they pitch that pushed him to OU?

The 3 you mentioned are nothing more than backup QB'S.

Hopefully a portal QB. Thats ALL they should ever recruit anyhow


Obviously the portal is gonna continue to be an avenue but we just balked at giving a supposed generational qb committed for a year 2.5 a year and a supposed generational DL talent from in the state 2 mil to sign, what makes you think they're gonna pony up for a 4 mil a year rental at QB? That's what Carson Beck and the Tulane kid got. Not the way I'd choose to go. But it's not my job to lose. Kelly and Sloan fittingly will go down together it seems. They better do some major winning this year. 9-3 is gonna get their asses fired. As it should.

Does signing a QB help recruiting elite WR’s these days?

Yep. Next year going forward looks dismal right now. Plenty of time left but we are signing 5 stars freshmen every year like Al, Oregon or Ohio State

Given what you have to pay a top QB recruit now who is going to sit 1-2 years minimum and may be a complete bust, I think you are better getting proven players in the portal. You can still recruit 3 and 4 star guys to develop and for depth but the price tag on these 5 star and high 4 star guys is not your best use of your money.

What about Keisean Henderson, he is rated the number 4 rated Qb and is committed to Houston

He's consistently been at or near the top of the QB rankings. Would think he's poachable, but seems like maybe not.

Not to worry. If Venables doesn’t have a really good year he will be gone and the portal will be our next chance.

While he went to one far end of the stupidity pole, it seems you went to the other end.

Re-recruit Hurley and Van Buren and go very strong after Haven and a couple of others in the ‘27 class!

We "balked" at going into a bidding war with the #2 wealthist man IN THE WORLD! You got 12 mill?

Are you slow or something?

and a supposed generational DL talent from in the state 2 mil to sign,
He's elite, but I'd hold off the generational stuff. Also, he's played essentially one year of high achool ball. I wouldn’t feel good blowing that kind of money on a kid like that.

We don't have to get a 4 mill QB. Who in the hell was JD5 and Joe Burrow before they got to LSU? Who the hell was Mettenberger? Many of you are going to be surprised when you see what we have in Van Buren in 2026. LSU doesn't do the one year assassins at QB.

This is what you wanted to say all along. Some of you are beyond annoying.

Notre Dame has done this the past 3 years while waiting on their near 5 star rated QB to develop last year.

If Mateer doesn't light it up like I think he should, and Nuss lights it up in route to a playoff, i think we could get him late like in November.

1-2 year rentals in the portal at QB every year, we're going to get burned eventually.


Think about what you are saying.
