You're right, that's what did him in.

Likely was given the truth in evaluation and advised of what parts of his performance needs work and that competition would likely be brought in.

I think he was a net positive for the team but not a major impact. Unfortunately, like so many, it looks
like a path to a starting job just isn’t enough.

All these portal entries and yet somehow Sage Ryan will be back for his twentieth season running around aimlessly playing "safety" for us next year

I do actually think there is some sort of balance coaches will have to find to get guys like Pimpton on the field more often to keep them. Some of it is just using them more situationally, some of it could be going to them sooner in games that are beginning to get out of hand. Whatever it is, it’s not sustainable to lose the amount of guys we are losing in year 1 and 2.

He is that stock in your portfolio that will never be green but you have so much invested you can’t let it go. I’m sure his bag was big when they got him to sign as a recruit.

Simply put, Pimpton thinks he’s worth more than he is currently earning.

They finally threw him two balls in the last game and I said to my son, “It’s funny that happens right before transfers open up”. I didn’t really think it would happen though, hopefully trying to get us to increase his NIL. Still odd that he didn’t see more passes this season.

Working through his reads till he got to K Pimp was not Nus' strong suit this year. That feature gets uploaded in year 2.

He probably sees Green likely getting most of the attention and then whoever they bring in from the portal. I would bet his inability to block will get keep him off the field more often than he would like. I am sure there is some team out there that has blockers and needs a pass catcher.

Of course not. But pimpton should've had a few plays a game up the seam where you throw him the ball.

Only 4 so far have I cared about at all. Daniels and Pimpton the most but WRer is pretty easy to fill...TE not as much. And the other two based more on potential are Atkins and Womack, but LSU seems pretty loaded at LBer. Of course as of this moment in time, Edge is thin but should change after the portal incoming..

Kelly has plenty of things to pile on him about but worrying if your third tight end is going to bail on you to transfer portal isn’t one of them. This model for cfb isn’t going to last and I am not sure how any coach is supposed to manage this shite.

Cfb has a ton of problems and nobody in the power positions seems to care at all.

It’s hard to get excited about any player nowadays as they all can hit the road at any moment or hold you hostage for more money

Insane

Not every kid hits the portal for money. Green probably sees himself quickly getting buried when LSU pulls from the portal. Much easier to go to a school looking for a pass catcher.

Losing a guy like Ka'Morreun Pimpton is gonna severely damage LSU's chances to have a player on the "All Names" team. You can't simply pick up a "Ka'Morreun" in the portal.
