The last out, by Milam, was quite a play, too.

Dickinson??? If talking the bottom of the 9th play by the second baseman, that would be Daniel Dickinson.

Were they all in the same signing class? I know they played together just wasn’t sure if they all signed together.

Lawrence sign in 1998

James and Faulk signed in 1999.

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.

So I can venmo a hooker in Vegas where it’s legal and she can fly to Louisiana to have sex with me where it’s not?

---

Prostitution is not legal in Vegas and the rest of Clark Co. Nevada. Only counties with less than 700,000 residents. Clark Co. and Vegas both exceed this amount of residents. Prostitution is only legal in 10 of the 17 counties in Nevada.

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............

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.

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.

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.

Herman Fontenot was from Beaumont, TX
