re: If Nuss was your son, what would you advise him to do?

Have you served your Country?????

You finish your Commitment

If he leaves after the bowl game he could compete for a starting spot somewhere else. If he waits until after spring practice to transfer , he could forget about starting somewhere else next year. He could stay and compete but I can’t see Kelly benching Daniels. Should he wait until his junior year to compete with Howard and Ricky Collins.

---

Do you really think Kelly and Daniels sat down and agreed for him to come back to be the 2nd string QB. Really?????????????????????????????????????????????????

1) Nuss will either be the clear #2 behind Daniels or Howard will be the clear #2 after spring ball. 2) It is possible that if neither separates, then maybe both come back for 2023 and battle it out in spring 2024 for QB1 in fall 2024.

On the other hand, JD5 coming back 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999% guarantees LSU will have 3 QB's on scholarship in Fall 2023 (JD5, Nuss or Howard, and Collins). Had Daniels Left, whoever won the starting job between Nuss and Howard, the 2nd team guy would likely have left after spring ball 2023 because if Howard won the job, he is RS FR and Nuss as RS Soph has already been passed over. Nuss wins the job, he is a RS Soph and Howard is sitting behind him for at least 2, maybe 3 years.

Why would he give up an entire year of eligibility for one game. A worthless bowl game at that.

Nuss needs to get in the portal early. The earlier the better ain’t no way there will be a fair competition. BK hitched his wagon to JD and he won’t do anything different.

Well if his sole desire is to start in 2023 at a P5 program, he needs to look at a Big12 or maybe mid-tier ACC program that has no QB returning (Clemson, FSU and UNC are all set). Everyone in the SEC looks set at QB with either a returning starter, or in TENN's case, a guy with starting experience (Milton) or a QB from the portal with starting experience at a P5 school (UK got the NCState QB) and Florida got one from Wisconsin (who left after the coaching change there). Aggie, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Miss. State, SCAR, Mizzou and Auburn all have starting QB's back. UGA and Bama are breaking in new QB's but they have tons of QB's on scholarship (Bama signed 2 top 100 QB's this year and has 2 4-stars on their roster already). UGA has a 5-star from 2021 (Vandagriff), a 4-star from 2022 class Stockton) and a 4-star from the 2020 class (Beck).

So he is not going in and winning a starting job at an SEC school. He could be the starter for LSU in 2024 but there is Howard there as well.

Look at the qbs they are recruiting. Mostly dual threat type is what I see. Which I personally do not like.

Did you not like what you saw against Bama? Without that Dual Threat, LSU loses that game.

Son - Put on your big boy pants and enjoy the ride

I would telling him don't read this site.

He’s going to have to compete no matter what. Grass isn’t greener on the other side, the grass is greener where you water it

Like Burrow?

Wow, I didn’t know Daddy Nussmeyer called Ed to complain about playing time, then to back out of the bowl game when the team didn’t have a QB. No wonder the team rallied so quickly behind Jayden.

stay If he wants a good education

If the priority is a good education, then I'd tell my son to transfer out of LSU right now. LSU is a prime destination for athletics. But, not for higher education.

quote:

---

If he is marginally better than Daniels in the spring and fall practices, I'm not sure you start him over Daniels. In my mind, you have to blow away the starter if he just took you to the SEC West title

---

I really don't like hearing this. But ... I have to agree with it.

And if JD gets hurt next year, or just regresses and they go to QB-2, that might not be Nuss -- they might skip him to start Howard.

Slim chance Nuss plays, I'd tell him to transfer.
