Saw this story on FB and thought it was someone trolling. Came here to get the scoop.


Good freaking grief

I think this tells you everything you need to know about Daniels’ feelings towards LSU. Think he can even step foot on the sideline for a game now? He’ll get booed back to DC.

I don't think Daniels has much of a say here when his agents are telling him, he's going to lose all that NIL money when LSU stops selling those #5 jerseys based off him and now it's Pickett.

What if it's not Daniels that's doing this but his agents/family that's making this decision for him?

Moment of truth. Are y’all going to say the same thing about Jayden and his family that you did about Greg Brooks and his?

Well, that's a good way to get rid of your hero status down here.

He lost 3 games under a terrible head coach who went WAY out of his way to pad Jayden’s stats and push for him to win the Heisman. It was pretty obvious that Jayden winning the Heisman was BK’s #1 priority after the Alabama loss, he had a great season but it felt a little inorganic. Hard to view it as legendary like Burrow’s season in 2019

Ego
Selfish
Greed

May his NFL career BUST this season forever

Side note: BK needs to be taking some heat for this, Kiffin is only honoring what the kid was originally promised.

If Brian Kelly lost the #1 CB in the country because he told him he could wear a number the board would absolutely lose it. I hate Brian Kelly but I’ll defend him on this one.

He’s a grown man, this is his decision regardless.

It’s so on-brand for BK to lie to DJ about wearing #5 during his recruitment that he probably wasn’t even involved in, flip flop after DJ got to campus, then run his big fricking stupid mouth to ESPN about it in his signature blank, politician-ish, milquetoast form

This reeks of his mom and not Jayden. He's nowhere near this insecure


This was the first thing I thought. Seems perfectly in character for her and completely out of character for Jayden.

LSU can't afford to lose the cache of Daniels from a recruiting standpoint. They will make nice at some point.
we have two other Heisman winners to display and talk about and both of them actually won championships instead of just an individual award.

We have plenty of all Americans, top draft picks, dominate players that we can tout and at the end of the day the only real thing that matters is what can Lane and staff do for these kids to get them to the next level. We aren’t a one player program.

Jayden needs to have a talk with his mom and realize he should be a grown man by this point and he shouldn’t have family managing him. He needs a professional to manage these things.

Something like this won’t hold up in court. No way a former player can tell his former school that a player can’t wear a number. The number isn’t exclusive to Daniels. Other players have worn the number 5 before him.


That’s not what he’s suing for. He wants them to stop using anything that has anything with him on it

If the timeline checks out, he promised DJ the number before Jayden won the Heisman during a recruiting visit. Then AFTER Jayden wins the Heisman, he tells him nobody will wear his number.

Kelly was quoted directly in the article. It didn’t say “Kelly’s spokesperson said”, the article had a direct quote from BK. It was 2 sentences, but it was there. Not sure why the 2 most autistic people on the board chose this to argue about ITT of all things
