"College source tells @SInow that Arik Gilbert, star LSU freshman tight end, has yet to enter the transfer portal despite announcing intentions to do so. Plenty going on behind the scenes here"

Twitter

Pretty speculative but where there is smoke...sometimes there is fire! Fingers crossed.

Awesome. I’m sure after hearing about the comments from LSU fans that he’s champing at the bit to return.

I don’t care how talented he is. He’s already quit on the team...twice. Let him go. He clearly doesn’t want to be here. Would be awful for locker room morale.

I'm just ready for this to be over 1 way or the other. The drama is so out of control.

Schools starts next week, we should know 1 way or the other by then

Just needs to get his head straight.

He might be having 2nd thoughts. We as fans should change our tune with Gilbert. The dude is going through some things. The best thing we can do is support him.

Go ahead and list the fan bases that react kindly when players quit.

I think it’s possible that there was something. But I feel like whatever issue was there, has been/ is being repaired.

This season proved more than any other that all the talent in the world can be derailed by bad chemistry and locker room culture.

Prior to opting out he caught 30 plus catches for 400 yards. He’s a big piece of our offense and will be sorely missed if we lose him to the transfer portal

Nope, time to move on. Happened once, will happen again.

More like shitty coaching hires. If the defense wasn't historically awful, this is a fairly successful season.

You don't quit on a team and then walk back in to that same locker room.

Kid is gone. Just hope it's not to Bama or UGA.

He did say he was “verbally” entering the portal whatever the hell that means.

Perhaps his team mates that have decided to return have reached out to him. Maybe Ensminger or O has. Maybe this means nothing.

Who knows at this point?
