Cordell Landers, did he train under Willie Lyles?

so many left, even with the prospect of what most of us think will be better coaching? Is it money? Misplaced loyalty to BD ( who was, after all, a good recruiter)? Did the new staff not want to keep them?


All good questions. Adding to the bizarre nature of the situation is that their play was consistently not good enough here yet they’re good enough for the best programs in the toughest conference to fight over them. All I got is: looks like Tarzan plays like Jane

we have OL on roster already that can start


Uh if they couldn’t start last year then how good can they be? Think about it. We went 7-6 and there was no youth movement on the OL

these guys are legit


I get what you’re saying but little from what I saw last year screams top tier - and that’s where they’re off to. Did Wolford think they’re legit like big time SEC legit, or does he think they’re better suited for mid-major?
Was Brad Davis that bad? I seriously thought that in 2026 these guys would ply their trade in the Sun Belt or American Conference. Something is way off. Maybe measurables is what matters most? Curne, Adams, Echols, and Williams are miles away, aren’t they?
Curne, Williams, Adams and Echols: we play all three of their teams next season. Those matchups will be telling

Edit to add Adams

A lot of these "nobodies" are young and have been developing and not starting so we truthfully dont know what theyre capable of. Can't keep losing young talent though, especially not guys that have high potential


And I’ll add that from a process standpoint finding a replacement in the portal takes time, devoting scouting staff, energy, etc. from a results standpoint what you bring in may be just as big of a question mark as what we had in hand.

I’m not referencing Braker in particular just speaking in general
You newbies need to get on the way back machine: Marshall Faulk, Ike Hilliard, Warrick Dunn have to be considered.

It can be argued Terry Bradshaw but we threw it like eight times a game back then. He jokes about being to slow to get into LSU but a big reason is that our O was three-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust.
I just wonder who these two can hang their hat on as finds. Schools like Pitt, Wisconsin, even lowly Toledo have some real dudes they point to as evidence of good scouting. Identifying talent is massive nowadays because so few stick it out for five years at one place

. Some of these young men are leaving stable situations after getting bad advice


LSU has players who are in better than stable situations jetting. We’ve got players on a trajectory to becoming all-conference and are walking away like you or I would walk away from a plate full of spoiled meat.

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


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.
Serious question, does anyone know their record when it comes to scouting? Any finds of note between them? I ask because their job nowadays seems overwhelming.

absolute failure of a decision


Dillingham is likely among several coaches who could win big here
Is this lsu saying enough is enough or ole miss saying go, you’re tampering?
quote:

This is normal


The question is “how do we lose almost entire OL and WR corp?” and people here are dismissive with their “good riddance” and “this is normal” responses. No way we anticipated departures this extreme: too expensive and the removals too vast
quote:

I honestly don't know how you recruit 8 or more OL from the portal…The amount of NIL on OL alone will be 10 mil


I agree with this, and don’t give me this good riddance, addition by subtraction theory. No way they could have anticipated such an exodus, not from a financial standpoint not from a roster standpoint

The other big name programs have had too much turnover to understand the caliber of play they are seeing.


This is well-stated. They have a progression plan for every player and obviously it depends on the kid staying.

love Bama losing talen


The Caleb Downs loss never got old
quote:

keeping players for multiple seasons


Big part of it
quote:

Their AD fricked that situation up


It was like nobody from ole miss thought beyond “aw hell no” so they threw out their asset thereby letting lsu get to work closing the gap on the advantage ole miss could have exploited further. Playing keep away was the move.

So the year he's finally set to start, he's leaving? Lol


Agreed and it’s not just him. If I’m in the two deep where I am, I’d be hesitant about leaving but these kids are itching to leave it all behind.
