I think we all expect a transfer from one in the room after Spring practice, but wasn't really expecting this?

quote:

Last night, class of 2021 quarterback Cole Lourd of Brentwood School in Los Angeles announced that he was blessed to receive an offer from his dad’s alma mater, LSU, and thanked [Jake] Peetz, Russ Calloway and Derek Ponamsky for the offer.

Since LSU already signed Garrett Nussmeier in December and returns three quarterbacks with starting experience, plus has a commitment from 2022 sensation Walker Howard, this offer suggests to me that LSU may have some QB roster management concerns.

Ponamsky? This seems weird to have his name mentioned.

It's all speculation, but if Brennan struggles to come back from injury and TJ decides to transfer the QB room suddenly gets thin with just Max and Nuss.

This. Finley is most likely gone and Brennan is a wild card at this point. Cannot have a malcontent in the locker room, so letting TJ go is a must.

You've got a point, Cowboy. I guess we need accept their really is a chance that Brennan has played his last snap. At least, it appears someone on the inside thinks this is a possibility.

This is exactly the fear they have and are getting an insurance policy for sure

Most everyone has now said it's a full scholarship offer, I mean this guy isnt a walk on guy really, he has more than a handful of d1 offers.

History suggest that one of the 3 returning QB's would transfer before the season starts.

If Brennan is beaten out for the starting job by one of the second year guys then I wouldn't be surprised to see him go elsewhere. I doubt he wants to be a backup behind a guy who has MORE eligibility remaining.

Finley or Johnson might also decide to go if one is determined to be #3 on the depth chart. You'd hate to see a guy give up on LSU so quickly, but the Kyle Trasks of the world (i.e. guys who patiently wait for their chance) are becoming few and far between.

Either way, I don't see LSU entering the 2021 season with 4 scholarship QB's...unless they sign this Lourd kid. He's completely off the radar as far as recruiting ratings go (yes, I know there are always misses in the rankings. But they are right more often than they are wrong) and it seems like for the first time in a while LSU is somewhat stacked with talent in the QB room with more on the way (Howard). Seems like it would be an odd take for LSU and an odd place to sign for the kid...coming into a stacked QB room where at least 3 guys ALL have 4 years of eligibility remaining.

If Les Milas had had those types of concerns, he would still be coaching here.

But, unless they really see something in this guy, I would prefer to use our last scholarships on a position of need other than QB. Preferred walk on, fine.

Nobody can close the deal on a PWO quarterback quite like the Tugboat Captain.

What the hell are you talking about. How the hell is TJ a malcontent? And LSU wont "let him go" unless he breaks rules or decides to leave himself.

Just say YOU don't want him here. It'll be more accurate and make more sense.

If the kid earned a scholarship offer why would you punish him for the success of his parents?
