quote:Horn had his same veteran DB coach and DC during his whole time there, then opted out when Muschamp was fired, just like Ricks did when O was fired.
So true best corner in draft came from South Carolina last year with all that shite going on, played well on shtty team and still drafted in first round, if you can play YOU CAN PLAY
This would be Ricks' fourth DC since he signed, and his position coach is likely gone.
Maybe Ricks wants to win AND be drafted early AND trust who is coaching him in his money year.

The portal should be to help kids who are having trouble getting playin grime. A starter and All-American shouldn’t be allowed to transfer to an in conference school without sitting a year. This combined with NIL will be a college free agency where star players can go to the school with the highest bidders offering advertisement money
. "You already have enough resources, so you're not allowed to try to improve your standing." There's a word for that. It starts with "S" and rhymes with "schmocialism."
That is nothing like socialism. This is a competitive team sport, not a form of government. Do you have any idea what you’re taking about or are you just trying to argue with someone?
Transfers like this amount to free agency without a salary cap and it could lead to giving unfair advantage to schools with big money around them.
Eli is already an All-American who will be a first round draft pick next year. No real upside to transferring….unless a big school, like Ohio State is promising him big NIL deals.

By their nature, sport leagues (like the NCAA) are actually interesting markets to test various economic theories like socialism (a/k/a "revenue sharing").

"Free agency without a salary cap" is Adam Smith's literal definition of free market capitalism.
Also, the NCAA is a form of government. It governs college athletics.
Playing for a national title contender at OSU definitely could improve Ricks' draft stock, versus who-knows-what-will-happen at LSU.
If your employer was bought out, and you had no contract beyond this business cycle and no idea who was taking over, wouldn't you explore your options?

Always seemed like a selfish, hot dog of a player. If I recall correctly he was a total jerk on both of his pick sixes, taunting the other guys as he hit the end zone. Not exactly a classy guy.

I understand having elite players on a team, you do need that but in todays world of college football these elite players give you about 50-75% on the field and the percentage drops even further on a team with a losing record..they don’t want to get hurt and lose millions possibly on the next level.. give me a player who has the want and ability to improve to showcase his talent on the field also.. the 5 star status is all nice and dandy but you can also name many 2-3 star players who gained the 5 star status during their college career by giving that 110% all game every game..

Yeah...Chase, Burrow, Jefferson...they all gave just 50-75%.
And clearly that's all Brice Young and Jameson Williams are giving for Bama.

Best corner in 2020 (national), best corner in 2021 and will be the best corner in 2022.
Where do you guys come from?

I assume you and none of the other weirdos in this thread are fans of the basketball team, where half the team are transfers.
People are mad when players transfer out, love when players transfer in.
Hate when Louisiana players leave the state, love when out-of-state players come here.
I hate the transfer portal, but it’s here and will benefit LSU more than it will hurt.

why are you transferring man?

Agree
Our fan base is very immature and wears blinders...

College football should be competitive. That’s why they have rules in recruiting and scholarships. Free enterprise is great for business but not college football. A free agency without a salary cap is great for the economy, but this isn’t what we are taking about. In college football it would allow a few rich programs to pay the stars from other teams to transfer.
I all for players entering the transfer portal when they don’t get a chance to play on their current team. I’m Elias Ricks’s case l, he would be starting his 3rd straight season and already projected to be a high draft pick. Playing for LSU certainly hasn’t hurt Stingley’s draft projections

Chase was a 4 star, but a very talented receiver. Marshall was the #1 receiver in that class. Burrow was a 4 star who transferred here because he didn’t win the job at Ohio state. He had no draft stock when he arrived. He had something to play for. Jefferson was a 2-3 star receiver who wasn’t heavily recruited. He ended up being one of the most talented receivers to ever play at LSU.

I told you guys he was going to transfer awhile back after O got canned. He's not the only one. Expect several other star players to leave they're being offered money on the back end with lots of tampering and of course promising championships. LSU is about to get gutted by the portal. Only hope is the hire is amazing and makes them think twice.
Posted on 11/22/21 at 11:18 pm to 901Tyga
They can go to the portal to induce NIL payment or get them from someone else who will pays. They may still prefer to stay.

Meh
What “star” players could LSU lose and be worse off for next year? Keep the core that want to be there and let the rest leave. There are way too many soft cancers on the roster right now to have a winning team.

Stupid take all around. Burrow wasn’t named the starter. He left to be a starter. He could have wasted away on the bench the entire year.
Ricks has been starting since he was a freshman…..
