re: Will LSU accept the NIT bid?

We'd have to do it with walk-ons. I bet at least half the team has already unenrolled.


Have to be academically qualified in order to enter the transfer portal and be eligible to compete the next season, dropping out of school mid-semester puts you in the academically unqualified arena. Any player contemplating entering the transfer portal will finish out the semester and not do something stupid that will have a negative impact on their ability to change schools.

I know they played together just wasn’t sure if they all signed together.

Youve literally lost your point in the first wrong thing you've said. NIL allows kids to be paid for collectives AND sponsors. Some sponsors are paying a set price for an entire singular sports program. Everybody at Oregon is being paid by Nike. When these players go and do these signings and meet and greets and play with the kids, those are all parts of their sponsorship. One year into NIL, Texas had a collective strictly for OL that paid every single OL recruit a bare minimum 6 figure number per year (can't remember the number but it was between 100k and 150k).

There are kids from smaller schools getting paid and picked up by larger schools. There are even smaller schools trying to pay to keep those kids there.

With the new agreement taking place this year, every university itself can now spend up to 20 million spread across all their sports programs. Im doing bare minimum for football, but there wont be a scholarship kid making under 50k a year at a decent college.


While I can agree with or at least see your point in a majority of post, there is one item that is patently false, to wit:

quote:

Everybody at Oregon is being paid by Nike.


If you would have said everybody at Oregon is being paid with money that Phil Knight made from selling shares of Nike stock, that Phil Knight personally contributed to Oregon's NIL efforts, it would be closer to the truth.

Nike is a publicly traded company that is overseen by a Board of Directors that is beholden to its stockholders and subject to a myriad of federal and state laws. A public company footing the bill for the NIL of a school's entire athletic department would be gross mismanagement of company funds and would subject the BOD to legal action.

Nike's corporate advertising and marketing budgets are spread out across the universe of athletics, involving many schools, professional teams and athletic personalities.

Because Woodward it a fat pussy who bent the knee to his FIL while other schools told the NCAA to pound sand and still have their "cheating" coach.


Mark Emmert is not Nanette Dicharry's father.
The former Nanette Dicharry is Scott Woodward's wife.
Therefore, Mark Emmert is not Scott Woodward's father-in-law.

Mark Emmert has two childern, Stephen and Jennifer.
Scott Woodward has two stepsons from Nanette's previous marriage.
One of Scott Woodward's stepsons is married to Jennifer Emmert.
Therefore, Mark Emmert is not Scott Woodward's father-in-law, he (Emmert) is the father-in-law of Scott's stepson.

sports business journal article on Emmert and LSU

excerpt from article:

"Riegel noted Emmert, who served as chancellor at LSU from '99-03, is "widely considered to be one of the best leaders in the university’s history." He has "close friends in Baton Rouge," including LSU AD SCOTT WOODWARD, "whose stepson is married to Emmert’s daughter, and LSU booster RICHARD LIPSEY, who recently returned from a wine-tasting trip he and his wife take annually with the Emmerts."

PJ seems like a good kid.

Curious as to what the drama was with him entering/quickly withdrawing from the portal. A lot of depth at CB now with incoming transfers, but I hope to see PJ compete and have a great year


He never entered the portal. Never requested the paperwork for entry into the portal. Never informed LSU or Coaches of an intent to transfer. Some blogger mentioned his name as a possible tranfer/ran with a baseless rumor based on pure speculation. Was quickly shot down on social media by PJ as being baseless..

Ed Orgeron

Offensive Coordinator - Inherited Ensminger, demoted him, hired Canada, fired him, re-promoted Ensminger, Ensminger then saw Brady (not Orgeron) and pushed for his hiring, lost Ensminger, hired Peetz because he was friends with Brady at a D3 school and had never been an offensive coordinator in his 16 years of coaching.


Inherited Cam Cameron, fired him, Ensminger took over on an interim basis to finish out the season, hired Canada, fired him............

And why did we have an opening in March of 22? Bc fat Scott didn’t defend his winning coach.

So yeah, Scott could have waited til Beard was available bc the whole team was gone at that point anyway.

This admin isn’t serious about MBB


Dude, your timeline is fubar. Under your understanding of the difference of nine months, waiting to hire Beard when he became available would have meant that there would have been no chance for LSU to enlist players for the 2022-2023 season and LSU would have begun the 2022-2023 season with no coach and no players. At least the AD is not a dumb as you are.

McMahon hired March 2022. Beard arrested December 2022 and fired by Texass in January of 2023.

The OPs trend of thought is internet poppycock.
quote:

Everyone knew Beard was going to be available. Don’t act like LSU couldn’t have waited for that to happen.

The domestic accusations were already out and it was clear what was going to happen, especially at a place like Texas.


McMahon hired in March of 2022. Beard arrested for assault in December of 2022. So every one knew Beard would be available 9 months before the alleged incident and 10 months before Beard was fired for same. Can I borrow that crystal ball before the market opens in the morning.

re: Thoughts on Todd Monken as HC

In defense of Miles, we did win a NC the next year and the offense was the most imaginative (while still constrained by Jimbo's conservatism) offense in Les's career at LSU.

Monken didn't really start blooming until he was under Gundy again, anyway.


Jimbo was at FSU and the Wizard was the OC in 2007. Todd Monken left for the Jags when he was not given the OC job for the 2007 season at LSU.
quote:

If you put a gun to my head right now and asked me for next year’s starting safeties, I’d say chalk is probably:
Dashawn Spears (SO)
Jardin Gilbert (RS-SR)
Harold Perkins (RS-SO)



Perkins played two full seasons and was injured in his third season. Therefore, he would be a RS-JR.

re: Where did he go?

Rather than be a dick, I am assuming you are wanting more info on why he isn't with LSU. Here's the summary:

- His high school coach just got hired on at Nebraska. There was a lot of smoke he was going there even before he actually entered the portal.

- The relationship with Baker angle wasn't true. Apparently the young man had some not nice things to say about Baker when he left Mizzou for LSU.

In short, he came into the portal as a heavy Nebraska lean and committed within days.


Additionally, he is a DE not a DT. I can also understand why the player was butt-hurt with Baker, after all he was a significant piece in the recruiting of said player to Mizzou, then leaves after signing day to take the job at LSU, I can see the player feeling betrayed by the coach and speaking out on the situation.

o out of 12 SEC transfers we've gotten 3 have been somewhat productive/not disappointing


For the record there were 10 SEC transfers to LSU in the 2022 - 2024 period, Burns was pre-wild west portal of today There are more than just 3 of the 11 that have been productive.

Wingo, Anderson and Burns as you named; plus:

Brooks and Foucha should be added to the list, both played a big role in the 2022 defense that got LSU to the SEC championship game.

Zavion Thomas had two returns for touchdowns on special teams and had moments during the 2024 season.

quote:

Denver Harris, remember him? Jalen Lee? AJ Swann? Zavion Thomas? Jardin Gilbert? Austin Ausberry? Joe Foucha? Ovie Oghoufo? Kolbe Fields?


Fields, Ausberry, Swann and Lee were brought in for depth. Oghoufo came from Texass pre SEC days, so technically you should not be counting him as "SEC".

Fields and Ausberry both played on special teams coverage, an important aspect of a team. Any one expecting anything other than special teams and depth from these two are missing a few cards in their playing deck.

Swann was SEC experienced depth, you know, that vitally important aspect of a team in case of disaster.

I'll give you Harris (the buckethead) and Gilbert have been disappointments, even though Gilbert saw starting assignments.

Summation:

8 of 11 have contributed to the success of the LSU football team, which won 29 games over the 3 year period of 2022-2024..

Lee and Harris, not so much. Swann played his role, back-up quarterback with SEC experience.
quote:

That’s really not true at all. Ewers, Hurts, Burrow, Bond, Downs. It’s a case by case basis with anyone.


Just a few more off the top of my head to add to your list:

Add Drew Sanders to your list of transfers that excelled at new school after transferring from Bama to Arkansas.

Add Eli Holstein left Bama to be a starting QB at Pitt.

Add Kyle McCord QB OSU to Syracuse

Add Javontae Jean-Baptiste - OSU to ND.

The OP (Nashville Tiger 110) has been littering this board and the Rant with bad takes and utter stupidity. He/she really needs to be sent to the corner wearing a DUNCE cap.

The sad thing is this is an easy fix. Make a signature at a school good for two years. If you commit out of high school, you’re there till after your sophomore year—— if you decide to stay then you’re there for the rest of your time it gives players some flexibility and allows coaches and universities to build a roster. If you graduate early, you can transfer.


NCAA can make all the rules it wants to make. However, the Courts keep ruling against NCAA rules as restraint of trade and violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. A Court just recently gave a kid extra eligibility based upon his earnings potential, which he may not have if he goes to the NFL or has to get a real job, even though said player has exhausted his NCAA mandated eligibility.
