Im sorry, but anyone who suggests that jahkeem Stewart shouldn’t be viewed as an ELITE DL prospect because he’s only played one season of HS football either (a) didn’t see how that one season went, or (b) is just trying to make themselves feel better in case he winds up somewhere other than LSU. The kid is a freak of the absolute highest degree.
While that may be true, you can't help but see it as a warning flag. You can't fault a kid for taking the money as soon as he can. However the fact that he decided not to play another season so he could get the money sooner is at least something to consider. Will he stick with that school or look for additional money every year? Will he take that check and not push himself like some players do? He will be raw no matter what happens.

Have you talked to any of these California people in Texas?
I have. And most of them regret moving to Texas. You know, since the entire state can be without power and freezing to death from a minor ice storm even though they had ridiculous amounts of warning that their infrastructure couldn’t handle any amount of ice storms and chose NOT to do anything about it. Maybe if they had those income taxes they wouldn’t have had to be without power in the freezing weather.

There are more that left because of politics and it being cheaper to live .
Texas is pretty much “middle of the pack” when it comes to cost of living AS WELL AS disposable income per capita. So the “cost of living” myth is a wash due to less disposable income.
Mississippi for example has the lowest cost of living out of all the states. By your theory, everyone there should be living well. Except they don’t. It’s also one of the poorest states because very few people have disposable income.
Bottom line. You can’t just use “cost of living” as your only metric to judge how good or bad a place is to live.
Admittedly, California has gone a little extreme with their regulations. Buuut. With that many people and that size of an economy, it’s kind of understandable to have more regulations. You can’t have everyone just doing whatever the frick they want when “whatever the fuvk they want” affects everyone around them.

He’s going to Oregon.
Probably hasn’t really been discussed here but he’s been talking to Kayvon Thibodeaux lately. They’ve talked about what to do with the money. Stewart’s offer from Oregon will ultimately be far more than anything LSU can and will offer. USC has made a great offer. However, Oregon is currently revamping theirs.
Similar to Joe McKnight, LSU isn’t nearly the player for Stewart like we think. He’s already moved on from them.

Jahkeem was a guy that’d be a lock for LSU in years past but now we have to compete with friggin USC, not because they’re a better program or team but because he can make a lot more money.
Sux because he’s Louisiana talent and a difference maker. He’d be a star here forever. In LA, they won’t remember him a year after he leaves

Well you are wrong. His interest in LSU hasn’t gone anywhere
Posted on 11/27/24 at 2:25 pm to FrankandBeans
And so be it! We will be just fine!

Most USC fans don’t live LA. So he will be an afterthought for most outside of those trying to influence him and sign with their brands

This may be the dumbest shite I’ve read on here in awhile. I fricking live in North Texas. We have had multiple ice storms and snow storms in the past 20 years that I’ve lived here. The problem on the “ice storm” that I think you are referring to was that it was -20 degrees for multiple days and people’s pipes were bursting even with every faucet dripping in the house. Take a seats on this topic. You are confused!

You’re kind of right, as in they aren’t a major contender and haven’t been in sometime.so nothing has drastically changed.
The main reason he reclassified was to strike an NIL deal this year. He and his family didn’t want to wait another year..who knows what the overall opportunities will be once rev share takes over. LSU is a distant 3rd right now being USC and Oregon. Losing Bryce Underwood did allow some money to free up, but I can tell you with absolute certainty that LSU’s offer is quite a bit less the than the other two teams I mentioned. It’s not impossible, but they have a lot to make up. Stewart’s offer from USC isn’t all that far behind what LSU collective was willing to pay Bryce. The issue at hand now is are they willing to do that for a defensive lineman instead of QB.

Ever heard of Joe McKnight? This isn't some first ever event that might happen solely because of NIL.

I keep seeing LSU isn't spending this or that to get those players here.
Why not? That's the only way you gonna get those big time players is to compete financially.
We know this is the era of NIL.

We didn't spend like we should have in the past but it seems the staff will be spending going forward. They are also targeting proven difference makers in the portal over unproven high school kids asking for large sums of money. Hope they are true to their word and are actually aggressive in the portal this off season.

I hope so. To compete in the era of NIL you have to spend big
Like it or not that's the way it is.

I know it’s not the jobs. You are responding to the wrong person. J2tharock or whatever the hell his name is believes that’s the reason. He also claims that you regret your decision to move to Texas

Yeah
He was a multi purpose back over 15 years ago from Curtis who historically didn’t send kids to lsu. USC was a better team back then too.
Your point?

It won’t be LSU, nor should it be.
How many years of high school football has he actually played?

One……….his sophomore year.

So I guess players don’t need high school football. It’s time for the NFL and NFLPA to see college is not always required.
I hope he is a complete waste of money for whoever takes this risk.
