Was Eli Ricks the one who was boasting on Twitter about a pick during the 2020 Moo State game in which they gave up an SEC record breaking performance?

Can't blame him. He has one more year of college football left. No reason to stick with a rebuilding team when he can go anywhere and plug-and-play on a potential championship team.



And this folks is exactly what’s wrong with things today

This shite attitude/thought process

No honor
No commitment
No dedication

I’m gonna get mine bby !

was there speculation on this earlier and his mom got all pissy about and went of a rant about their commitment to the program or was it someone else?

Kinda a bad look when his family was adamant he wasn’t transferring

Next coach(es) need to take a hard look at attrition of long distance signees. I may be emotional and talking out my arse, but long distance kids esp. CA ones don’t seem to workout. We really should be able to make up entire roster much closer.

Don't agree with calling him entitled. You really want to label kids that transfer with that when we are about to have to rely heavily on transfers to rebuild?


Not all transfers are created equal. LSU typically gets guys who were overlooked and ended up in bad situations from a team perspective, but played well enough to draw attention from a school like LSU.

With Ricks, he's already at a top tier program, and he's a starter. He's got everything in front of him that he needs. But he wants to leave because we're firing the coach who is holding us back?

It’s okay for a normal employee to do this in a normal work job

It’s okay for a head coach to bounce

But not okay for a kid to put himself in a situation to improve his chances at life changing money

I'm not surprised at all. Next man up.

All I care about is getting Walker Howard, Will Campbell and others to sign.

But remember he and his mom said he wasn't leaving it was just the injury . You either want to be at LSU or you don't.

Like most good things- the portal is being used for the wrong reasons…kids leaving one sch due to drug/grades/losing, to join another team …coaches at winning programs cherry picking kids to plug into theirs for one season

There was speculation coming from everywhere, but there always is. Which is why I tried not to read into it. I seem to remember his mom getting mad about something, but I really can't remember any specifics. There's so much noise around this team.

I'm almost never in the "who cares" camp.

But I am this time. frick it. We have a clear culture problem at LSU right now. We are soft as shite.

I am mentally prepared for all this shite until the new coach comes.
