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

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?

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

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

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.
Great question. Some think Wolford has been giving pink slips, some think the players (young and potential-laden) are chasing a bag

What I do know is that pre-exodus, LSU was not likely anticipating devoting this much of their NIL to the offensive line.
Good post. No way we expected to lose almost everyone. The financials don’t make sense for such a mass exodus

5. Wolford has been given carte blanche? One of those power of the enlightened few deals where nobody gets to stand in his way? If you’re Joe Bugel and built the mid-80’s Redskins O-line then knock yourself out, but Wolford is what exactly?

Would have liked some guys to stay and develop under new coaching, but


Curne, Adams, and Echols aren’t just “some guys”. I think fans are being dismissive in terms of their future prospects

I’m not sure Wolford has the skins on his wall to be kicking so many to the curb.
Jumping to conclusions a bit here?

Really

It’s hard for me to believe that they miss evaluated that many highly recruited guys.


This is the perplexing thing, we got guys that we had to fight off the biggest schools in the country for, and we made chicken sh!t out of chicken salad.
