Lane briefly discussed it and so did DJ.

I missed DJ talking about this. Is there a video somewhere?

Whatever the outcome, I don't think LSU let's themselves get into a situation like this again, by outlining a clear policy on jersey numbers worn by Heisman winners.


Why would LSU change anything? It has worked fine until last week and if CFB continues and LSU continues to succeed it will only get less likely that anyone gets their number "retired". It is simple math. And it has worked just fine until last week.

Well considering Leavitt will have an impressive year and (IMO) will compete for the Heismann, momma J should be honored

Give out #9 to somebody next year and just move on from retiring numbers like the policy states. This half retired thing is just dumb. Just put all numbers in circulation. Hell, I'd put #20 back in as well, just honor the players but keep the numbers on the field.

Put up some statues of every Heisman winner outside the stadium.

What does Leavitt have to do with all of this? Did I miss something?

I’d ask the JD representatives if they had anything else to complain about before I stopped ignoring them.

I don't think he's a POS - to the contrary I've always liked him - but he's seriously misguided and being poorly advised in this circumstance, and would be well served by extricating himself asap.

Nothing. This isn't in my top 50 of things to care about, even if I was Verge.

We've spent too much time on this already.

Say nothing, stop using his NIL. Keep giving out the 5 jersey.

There is nothing for LSU to do.
Kiffin explained the rationale for giving the number to DJ. The policy is clear.

The stink is entirely on Daniels. He created the situation. The ball is in Jayden's court. He can also choose to do nothing and let the media coverage die.

I would imagine that LSU's legal representation will respond if they deem it necessary.

I have an early doctor appointment today so I set my alarm for 4:49.

There’s nothing to be done. The general public sees this for what it is. You take the high road and leave the door open for JD to come back. Or not.

Not our issue.

Which we have done, I’m fine with us actually complying with his wishes and removing him from videos, it’s not like we lose any really cool wins other than bama 22. We have other Heisman winners and plenty of other players in the league

"Under jersey retirement bylaws established Jan. 1, 2007, retiring an athlete's jersey doesn't prevent a current student-athlete from wearing that number, subject to the head coach's discretion."

So, it's a bad look for JD5!

I thought the Heisman trust presents two trophies, one for the player and one for the university. So, he's not winning this either. Another extremely bad look antagonizing the entire fanbase.

They do the Heisman trust gives one to the player and a replica to the school. So Jayden’s mom surprise surprise was being a complete retard.

I think BK was an a-hole in the promise, but he wasn't trying to rock the boat.

I think Pickett holding us hostage for a number, is along the same lines of Daniels' camp's attempt at holding us at fault for BK's fumble.

Lane threw gasoline on this. He knew what he was doing at that press conference.

JD has some work to do. Achievable, but honest work, IMO.

What a wonderfully envious place to be as a program!

They will probably respond to the C&D letter if they haven't already, but there's no need for LSU to do anything publicly.

As for JD, it's clear to me that his mother is pulling the strings here, and he needs to grow some balls and tell her to let him be his own man. Apparently he can't even get a girlfriend without her approval. Next thing you know she'll be telling him how to parent his kids. Cut the cord dude. I think he's a good guy at heart, but he's one of these people that just can't tell his parents no.
