There was a rumor last week that went away quickly but the thrust of it was that bama had asked him to delay his transfer till after NSD to avoid scaring away WR recruits that bama wanted to sign. If I heard it right on a talk show last nite, LSU has not lost a La. kid to the portal. Yet?

Ricks to Bama has pissed off a ton of people. If a Louisiana kid leaves lsu for bama it’s going to cut so much deeper

I’ll say this… if Boutte leaves, Bama must have paid him an unheard of sum of money. He will be making NIL money here, be our #1 WR, with MB15 throwing the ball now.
Boutte does not give AF about winning a title with Bama. I think most of these big money making NIL kids don’t care about CFB anymore and it’s cashing checks and getting to the league.

I have no clue if he is or isn't considering that, but Boutte would be much more hated than Ricks if he left considering he is from Louisiana and grew up dreaming of playing for LSU. Plus, I believe he was tweeting how about how hard it was sitting on the sideline knowing he could have made the difference for LSU when they came up just short against Bama this year.

He wants to win a championship and make allot of money with NIL just like Ricks. LSU is behind the power curve on NIL and it’s hitting them in the A$$. LSU was not prepared for this NIL stuff IMO. They were too worried about making videos and putting billboards up in NY instead of getting community investment and cooperate buy in. Maybe they were worried about Title nine and didn’t want to rock the boat I don’t know. Hopefully he stays but if not then he will be tiger bait just like the others. We will eventually change the culture but we need to step it up or get left behind.

If I were a Bama fan, and I thank my personal God I am not, I don't think I would like the idea of taking a bunch of players off my rival. That's kind of pitiful when you think about it. How insecure can little Aflac Nick be?
bullshite.

Get our act together and start doing the same... including to the Gumps.

You either predator or prey. I'm tired of feeling like a god damned gazelle in regards to this portaNIL thing.

Losing Boutte would be a low point for us.

Boutte doesn't seem too confident in it since he's already said he's gonna be at LSU in the spring.


What was his exact comment?

I think I heard he said something along the lines of he "plans" to be at LSU for the Spring.

If he actually said plans then I don't feel confident. Plans change.

Indeed.

And people saying him stating he's staying until at least spring as such a sound and resounding promise and reason to cheer is also bullshite. That's a reference to the latest he can transfer and be eligible for the immediate eligibility.

That's him telling LSU to pony up or he's gone.

I say beat Bama's offer. And I don't care how. But between now and the next signing day (when the NCAA's definition of "spring" is) he just might get an offer he can't refuse.

So we don't necessarily have till the spring. That's just the drop dead date. Lot's of zeros can be added between now and then.

He isn't the only one that Has said Boutte transferring was a real possibility. Moscona and others have alluded to it as well.

not going to worry about it, whoever josh pate is he can suck it too.

Take Boutte at his word until he says or does otherwise.

.. LoL.. you people think Boutte was the only receiver LSU had on this team..if there’s one position LSU is stacked it’s the receiver position..Boutte missed at least half of the season and LSU receivers still caught enough passes to win a few games.. with better offensive line play and quarterback play they probably win a few more..Boutte has one more season to play then he will opt for the NFL.. no question about that and another star receiver will take his place.. rather it’s this year or the next.. if he was to leave I can promise you LSU will not shutdown football becuz he left..next man up…

the position continues to get thin with dudes leaving left and right and there are always injuries.

it's nice to have game breaking players on your team..

perhaps LSU actually beats Bama this season with Boutte
