Saw this below… I know there was a judge ruling that happened yesterday about eligibility for 2022 recruits and their 5th year.

Would Kiffin pursue this?
Gooden was a good player when healthy and so was Pyburn. They did not light the world on fire but would be great for depth.

I don't imagine there's room on either the roster or budget for them, but I'd take either back. Gooden played well IMO... reminded me of Wingo. I think we'd be fine with the 3 main vets we have and some solid tFr.

Pyburn wasn't what I thought he'd be, but could be a big help with Reliford out.

I’d take them both. Does not seem very likely, however. It will be interesting to see what other schools around the country do.

Would take them both back for depth purposes at least. Pyburn could still be definitely used with the Reliford injury.

Is there a roster spot for them and who do you screw out of one a week before camp starts?

Just because an additional year of eligibility is tacked on doesn’t mean LSU or a school that they played for will take them back.

Would love pyburn as a blocking h back run down edge. Gooden would be great as well.
