Probably has PTSD from our sorry quarterback play this year.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Obviously, he would be lying if he said it was a lack of playing time since he became LSU's top receiver the last few games. But of course he could be worried about dropping down again if LSU signs a couple of stud transfer wideouts

might just be testing the market

the staff has made it clear who on the offense they view as a must have.

Berry, Green, Moore

literally no one else can feel safe or irreplaceable.

I am sure there are guys they want back and they know who they are, but they aren’t being guaranteed rolls in the offense.

I like Parker a lot, but LK is targeting some studs in the portal and he may not want to have to re-prove himself again, although I think he has the talent to compete with anyone and could be a big part of LK’s offense. Maybe just needs more money and renegotiate his NIL.

Perhaps because he's going to follow WR coach Hankton to OSU? Hopefully, he's just testing the market and will return.

I just assume most of the guys entering the portal are just using leverage to get more money from LSU, and actually have no plans to leave.

Might be a money ploy. This nil and portal shite is horrible

His WR coach left. He's not a local (Texas), Frank may have been talking to him, OM badly needs some wins over us and was probably willing to pay him more than we were. We already found our first WR transfer commit too

Are you going to be alright? We'll replace him with someone just as good, and you won't even remember him 8 months from now.

Kiffin is willing to pay his former Ole Miss WRs 7 figures and close to 7 figures to come to LSU. Kyle Parker was barely a 4 star and barely played until this year meaning he was likely making less than 6 figures. Plus they are telling you they are going into the portal and heavily recruiting your position, and you're not getting a pay raise worth it even when your numbers are comparable to the two guys he wants from Ole Miss? Also both guys are 5'11 and 6'0 respectively. Parker LITERALLY went through this last year when they got Barion Brown and the year before bringing in Aaron Anderson and Zavion Thomas.

Parker will dominate wherever he goes. LSU will do well too, so it's good for both parties.

It's definitely this.

Going into his JR year and he probably wants to be the guy. And I'm sure Lane has other plans for bringing in a true #1

But yes, it's unfortunate because I liked Parker a lot and do think he could end up being one of the top WRs in the country.

I agree with this maybe add Westin Davis?

I thought Curne would remain a keeper but maybe I’m higher on him than Wolford and Cregg.

Maybe other programs value him more than LSU does. Who knows.

Unfortunately, the players who get paid the most, get to play the most. Looking at Barrion Brown.

Its unfortunate, because Kyle would be our best reciever.

Y'all delusional if you think it's anything other than Frank tampering. KP is tailor fit to be a stud slot WR in the Kiffin offense, instead he's over at OM and an offense full of question marks.

Frank Wilson should never be allowed back in the state of Louisiana.

Not sure how hard Kiffins playbook is to learn but word was he had a hard time learning plays.
