Portal Recruiting

Posted by BastropRam13 on 1/9/26 at 10:54 pm
LSU is leading the charge—- got a CB from Southern University.

Anyone know anything about this player?
I see that LSU got a CB from Southern University. Top recruit ??

LSU Basketball— Earlier Topic

During the transport portal before the season, I commented that the transfers McMen were signing were from schools that didn’t have the talent for SEC competition. I said that LSU should recruit from “real”Division I schools. Got tons of downvotes.

Do you think my thoughts were so misplaced now?
This game is what happens when LSU plays a basketball team!! All the non-conference games were like playing jr hi teams. Can’t improve when playing no competition!!
Get serious!!

Michigan just fired their coach for inappropriate behavior with a staffer!!

Having a brain is the most important.

He gets players in the portal from schools that rarely make the tourney. But, we are told that his new roster is better than before. Truthfully, we just continue playing mid-major basketball at best!

If we want to compete in the SEC, then it’s time to hire a real coach.
You must have been in the team meeting Coach Mac had that Sunday afternoon. Right?

Would appreciate your rational.

Seems like he did well this year. Plus, his playing resume is outstanding!!

Didn’t the current/former LSU oline coach have the same resume? Question is- Can he actually coach defensive linemen? Not just recruit them.

Briefly. But then became a huge embarrassment, both professionally and personally!!

Good one!! Been following LSU since being a freshman in 1966. Moved to Massachusetts to line next door to three wonderful granddaughters. Who by the way watch LSU football with me.

Only thing wrong with Massachusetts is no SEC football close enough to attend. Thank goodness for ABC!!

If that’s the case, happy for him. Ruston is a great place to live and raise a family. Lots of great LSU alumni in the area!!

Probably so, but I wonder. Yes, Kiffin is the new head coach and should pick his staff. Just seems odd to hire this guy.

Keep your current dline coach!!

Defensive Line Coach

Why would LSU hire a demoted DC from Syracuse as dline coach? If you are putting a championship program together, get championship quality coaches. IMO.
Terry Bradshaw’s senior year at Woodlawn. It was the 1965 football season. I believe Sulphur was the home team.
Also, Jack Doland was the defensive backs coach. He was the Sulphur head coach on the state championship team.
Arthur, Kent Carlin, and Bill Thomason came to LSU from Sulphur’s state championship team. I was a freshman that year as well all of us lettered multiple years except for Kent.

Have to say that the Tigers of 1969 were special!!
Particularly if he quits dropping passes.
