Please!! Why in the hell would LSU need/want to add any new players to a team that will be ranked in the top 2 (minimum) to start the season and is a preseason favorite to reach the NC game. I'm sure the current players who have been busting their asses all spring and summer would love to add new guys 2 fricking weeks before fall practice starts.

Not sure how playing Bama every year has anything to do with getting players from PSU...

Do you really need to have it explained to you that having more quality players and depth will enable us to beat Alabama who has the same? Really?

Do you really think we need to add to our roster to be able to beat Bama? Sorry, I thought our players were of pretty decent quality. So, no, I don't really think bringing in a player from PSU is going to enable us to beat Bama.

granted, I don't want any of their players, but they wouldn't count against the 85

I don't think it would be a terrible idea to add a TE to give us a little more depth there.

What I've read so far is the NCAA is strongly considering allowing any PSU transfer to come in to the new school even if the new school has reached its limit of scholarships. LSU would be able to exceed the current limit in order to take one or more PSU players. Probably know in a day or two.

Anyone who would be opposed to adding Mauti is absolutely clueless. He'd step in and provide immediate depth behind Minter. If whoever is 2nd string now cant beat Mauti out he shouldn't be complaining about a new kid here. Tenure is for teachers and state workers. GTFO with that bullshite

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think he was offered by LSU.

We most likely played against each other (St. Paul's). What year did you graduate and what position were you, if you don't mind me asking?

Wait, wut?

He's one of the many solid northshore linebackers over the last 10 years. There's only 3-4 better than him. He was really good

I think it was out there he'd follow Rich's footsteps.
The guy wasn't under the radar or anything and ranked pretty high for staff to just miss.

Then again, I believe that was back during Mal-veto, so coulda been a miss.

Especially a fragile arse (blown out both knees) linebacker that would have no time to learn our system and take away valuable playing time from guys that had us as their FIRST CHOICE!!!!!
