We need a van Buren… when’s another kitchen committing?
Maybe you should have said Tittle?
(Underrated post btw, think folks are DV’ing out of ignorance)

Don't get me wrong, I assume Van Buren is a good insurance policy and glad he joined the ranks, but I can't help but to feel that all these players transferring is diminishing the sanctity of the game and what was special in the college game, brotherhood.
Now I know, I know, different times and era now, but to see examples like Van Buren, who ostensibly would be the "favorite" starter for State next year and beyond, Maalik Murphy at Duke, Mensah leaving Tulane, amongst the other countless examples across all positions, teams the overall landscape where STARTERS, LEADERS, CRITICAL PIECES of your football team leaving and going elsewhere, en massè, are demoralizing and program killers.
I understand the players who are looking for more playing time, stuck at the end of the depth chart, players looking to face better competition, players and a few other scenarios that are more than understandable (I'm learning to accept the financial incentives have become a governing factor).
However, to see the exodus of any given team's key players, whose teammates, school student body, alumni and die-hard fans (I leave out coaches for obvious reasons) have the prospect of growth and belief in the team's future success, get pillaged and ravaged is unfortunate.
Fortunately, for us LSU alumni and fans, we are CURRENTLY a premier destination, amongst the carnage, to where not only can we withstand the inevitable defections but we have the cache and resources to enhance and augment the team's talent through the portal.
Team's like Wake Forest, Duke, this year's Vandy and Army etc, whose success is inherently built upon hidden gems amongst the recruiting classes, calculable redshirting and gradual player development, all in an effort to have 1 year out of every 4 where they have a seasoned, upper-classmen team that can reasonably compete and/or win against the bluebloods of the sport.
The divide of the haves and havenots are going to be more prevalent, less up-start teams, less upsets and less hope and realistic chance for a majority of fan bases that there team can grow and develop to beat top teams on any given Saturday. So the Appalachian States of the world beating Michigan in the Big House will be feats of yesteryear bc their star QB, who gave them a fighter's chance to beat them, TRANSFERED to Michigan over the past summer. No more Jake Dellhomes at ULL beating Texas A&M, bc both of his star receivers and running back transferred..
I'll start watching the NFL again bc college is now the same thing. The allure of the college game is gone.

This is good for depth. Good pick up. Hurley is just too young.

Clearly he kept it on some designed runs.

Well as long as he plays qb better than Martin Van Buren.

No. Only one QB can play during the season.

Van Buren is a great name for a Tiger. He needs to wear #17.

I think this was a great get. Probably a backup next year, with a start in the bowl game. Will now have time to develop and really learn the game. Not have to run for his life at State, and shift on the fly. Things slowing down can really help in my opinion.

so this guy played last year and is coming to sit for a year? doesnt make sense

Ms State is going nowhere. It’s a lost cause. This dude is your starter after Nuss.
He probably got a pay raise to sit the bench and be developed as well.
I watched Van Buren live this year. He throws as good a ball as anyone I’ve seen. He deserves to be at a place he can contend. He will make a name for himself here.

He gave Georgia and Texas all they could handle with no weapons.
