Feel like this dude has been playing football since the Obama Administration. How much eligibility does he have?

I remember him playing well in first start for LSU long ago and sounding very mature in post game interview. I wonder if he may have fared better in old system of waiting your turn for 2-3 years and become starter for last 2 years.


His problem was pretty simple. He wouldn’t move in the pocket. He’d just sit in his spot and let the defense hammer him. The program at that point wasn’t in a good enough place to let him mature and develop the right way but I think you’re right if he had the right coaching staff and patience he definitely could’ve made the NFL. Lord knows he had the stuff you can’t teach.

I guess the statute of limitations has expired now but TJ Finley was running a PS5 scam at LSU back in late 2020


Would this even make the front page of all the crazy stories about that 2020 team?

So years ago there may have been a player who committed to Tulane and showed up to high school in a new car.....he didn't have the grades to get in and after that the new car 'disappeared'.


If I’m not mistaken, the player was Ronald McClendon. I remember all the Tulane fans showing all the class they could muster (meaning none) by assuring us that Tulane beat out LSU for McClendon's services. The day after he announced his commitment to Tulane, he showed up at Ponchatoula High School driving a brand new Explorer (reportedly leased for him by Tulane). As it turned out, LSU had backed off of his recruitment because they knew he wouldn’t even qualify under the old Prop 48 rules. He never made it to the Tulane campus and went and played Junior College ball somewhere. Two years later, he showed up at Ole Miss and never really did much.

fake plate


It was a real license plate but didn't match with the vehicle it was on. He would have been better off attaching a "license applied for" placard.

I still dislike the guy.

He had to get hurt last season so he couldn't hang 50+ plus on Louisiana Tech.

As bad as things are I think Louisiana Tech would've found the money for fire Gumbie had TJ hung 50+

I was so pissed watching WKU just hand the game to Louisiana Tech.

But no Gumbie won 5 games. Frick you TJ

This sounds like he got caught up in a bad deal.


Very well could be. Especially if he bought it from one of those by here pay here type of places. Their paperwork is always fricked up and they always screw people over.
