re: Assuming Woodward really fired Wade to get the NCAA off the football program's back

Seriously, MoneyMan - who was the player involved in this and where did it happen?
Was this an LSU infraction or a Will Wade infraction?

"WE ARE OUR OWN WORSE ENEMY!!!"
Uh, LeChina wants you to take that meaning as "worst" instead of "worse".
He was confused about how to spell worst. Thought it might be W-U-R-S-T instead of W-O-R-S-T.
Give him a break you bunch of fricking racists! :lol:

Nothing against CMM but I'd be all for it.
Today was a good example why it would be a good idea.
The effort was what you would expect for any game and there was some good execution on both ends. They've gotten better but they aren't as talented as who they play. Our guys have to do most everything well in every facet to win games.
Great players = Great execution no matter what Offense/Defense the Coach wants to run.
Wade is a TOP Recruiter. The players he's brought in have proved LSU could be Top 5 (IIRC) at either end. (In different years but that fact reinforces my point) The different kind of high level players he attracts can make whatever scheme he chooses successful.
IF it was going to happen I'd say it would be after the season. Prolly highly unlikely, though. :violin:
By the way, I was not a CWW sycophant. This is all just common sense. CWW is an established recruiter of elite talent. CMM is not.
BUT - even just on "general principles" - frick Bill Self.

Anybody giving odds on a Dan Mullen recycle at OC? The brand brings the talent.

He was not impressive at all in the HS All American game but why was he going to drop before that?

Yep. They appear to be making up for not even giving him a score out of HS.
Buuuut - I hope he's a freaking All American. :cheers:

This is garbage. They also gave Tolan a 90.
Neither of these guys should get a 90 Transfer rating.
Speights is at least 2 higher and Tolan at least 2 lower.
Looks like actual PT and on-field accomplishment don't mean much to 247.
Wait... Water is Wet.

No shite. They had a nice haul of P5 guys. 7 of the 9 who came in and the other 2 were starters for Hugh at Liberty.
Lester prolly dropped some JR Ewing cash on em'. :lol:

The kids all declared in time but it was pointed out a good bit early on that it can take the school's a day or so to process the paperwork and them to show as entered.
The schools are giving the young men excellent examples of something they will experience way too often for the rest of their lives - how time gets wasted with red tape. :lol:

Yup. O's tree looks just like the original Christmas Tree that Charlie Brown picked out. :lol:

I'd be surprised if that hasn't already been addressed through plans for Analyst hires/shifted responsibilities.
There was enough bad play that you just can't assume every kid on ST's this season was capable of performing the required tasks.
Going forward? No quarter given from this couch.

I did it wrong. I damn sure can't remember where but I could've sworn I saw him committed to Aubie the day after OS signed here.
Don't see it now. Edited OP.

Close of Early Portal Update: Highlights/Wants/Needs

There's more to the LSU Brand now than ever before.
Within one year this new Staff has gotten LSU to the point of being serious contenders for ANY player who enters the Transfer Portal at ANY position. With the exposure/success from the CBK hire, the rest of the country has begun to realize that LSU means way more than DBU.

ILB Omar Speights makes for a damn fine finish to the Early Portal Window. I love the LB room now. In a perfect world young Mr Ashanti Cistrunk SR 6-1 230 from Ole Miss would join up and fit right in, too.
But with Speights/Webb/the West baws/ and HP40 you'll never get a tired step.

The OLign is talented and versatile but injuries happen and we have sheer numbers that need to be replenished. An experienced starting Center from a P5 is what many have been clamoring for since the "Ivy League Experiment" so rudely got pushed on it's arse. Tigers have offered:
Jakai Clark C JR 6-3 305 Miami so maybe he's that guy. (For the record - I think that guy is Marlon Martinez)
Even if young Mr Clark ain't all that - we need to replace at least 3 of the big boys that moved on.

Other folks here are more sure of the Safety room than me. I'm of a mind that an experienced Safety can be added even if Toviano moves there and is a natural. If CBK's pattern holds we have already done a deep dive on;
Jaxen Turner S JR 6-2 210 Arizona. "Turner started in 11 games this past season for Arizona and tallied a team-high 79 tackles, along with two interceptions (UA had four as a team), three pass breakups, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries." He's a top 5 Safety in this cycle.

I didn't pay all that much attention to the QB, RB, & WR rooms for this cycle simply because I think the Tigers are talented and deep enough at those positions. As far as I'm concerned, Aaron Anderson was just added to make the roux perfect.

What ya'll got?
