Mauti is stud ILB that has been plagued by injuries recently. But, he has 1 season of eligibility left and is coming off an ACL tear. I dont care how good you are or what team you go to, its nearly impossible to start at ILB, calling the plays, making the checks at the line when you have only been in the program a few weeks. The kid can play and if he was a sophomore I would be all for getting this kid. But, he has 1 season left and then hes off to the pros.



well said

The problem is with the NCAA ruling regarding PSU transfers. LSU could take him this year and it would not count against the 25 limit, HOWEVER, they would have to give up a spot on the 2014 class (limit drops to 24). Considering the talent level of the 2014 class and the start that LSU already has, would you REALLY waste a spot for a LB from another program who only has one year of eligibility?


Great point. My thoughts about accepting someone from PSU would be:
a) Does he really want to finish somewhere else? IOW, someone who needs to turn a page and we would be doing him a favor in this regard.
b) Can he contribute at LSU?
c) How would it affect other recruits, players. etc?

If it would cost us a 2014 recruit I would be disinclined to take him.

Question: would it still cost us if he walked-on?

Thought: it would be an incredible story if a PSU player did transfer to LSU and win NC.

Louisiana wants its food stamp receivers to be able to buy alcohol, tobacco and strippers on food stamps. Where do I sign up?

Just what I thought, the guy hard blown out both of knees at PSU, one as recently as last season...he is in grad school there so it's not a matter of merely transferring to another school for undergrad and on top of that he has no reason to transfer to another school as he has basically no NFL hope with his injury history now. He probably just wants to get his masters and move on.

I know Mike and played with him, I feel bad how this is turning out for him and his teammates. Mike isnt going anywhere, he is PST through and through. Also he was not offered by LSU I guess bc of the assumption that he was a PST lock. However if any team had a chance to sway him it was LSU. UrbanM was pushing him hard and really liked him.
