This season has absolutely been an anomaly, but I don’t think you can take the results of one off season and declare that the college football order has been completely turned on its head. Let’s wait and see if it happens again. Also, I completely disagree with the notion that Oregon’s roster isn’t built on blue chips. Ole Miss would be the better team to support your argument.

No, I didn't say that at all, but Clark would get some incredibly important work with the first team working through install. Leavitt is the better talent imo, but there's no guarantee he gets back to 100% during his time at LSU. This is all hypothetical, anyway.

---

I agree completely that Clark could win a hypothetical QB battle just as Chambliss did at Ole Miss. I just don’t see signing Clark being any obstacle to getting Leavitt at all. He’s exactly the kind of QB you would expect to be signed as a backup.

Not to be a dick but I honestly think that eligibility needs to be strictly enforced at four years and the red shirts should be scrapped.

---

They should just give everyone 5 years post-high school. That gives one extra year for special circumstances but it eliminates all the inconsistency in rulings related to redshirts and waivers. It also closes the JUCO loophole. It would give them a stronger footing in court.

There’s freaking 3000 in the portal for gods sake.

---

How many do you think entered the portal to be a bench filler with no or limited revenue sharing/NIL?

quote:

---

It's a miss at this point for whatever reason that a major school with the brand that we have hasn't signed a QB.

---

So, LSU, Miami, and Oregon? Other than Sorsby or Leavitt, who should LSU have gotten instead? Leavitt is still outstanding and the girlfriend broke the tie for Sorsby.

quote:

---

What does LSU have to do with who other players hire as their agents?

---

This is the part I don’t get. Do they actually think LSU has the power to force other players to sign with Leavitt’s brother? If they just want Kiffin to “encourage” other players to sign with him. Great. Just tell him you’ll put in a good word for him with other players to get the deal done, then never think about it again.

quote:

---

Hopefully he can kickoff as well.

---

Their punter handled kickoffs this season, so I guess that remains a question mark. The punter from Florida also handled kickoffs in high school, so he could be a possibility as well.

quote:

It really doesn't matter how good they were at LSU. The OL situation in the portal is a shite-show and always has been.

---

It will be interesting to see what the game plan is for LSU to replace them given that reality. I thought at least a couple would land back at LSU after testing the waters and finding a soft market. Either LSU misjudged the market or they have specific players in mind who haven’t materialized. This is the one area of the staff that seems like a question mark, so the path forward seems uncertain as well.

quote:

---

They gave Pavia an extra year because he said it wasn’t fair he couldn’t make more money.

---

“They” didn’t give Pavia an extra year. The courts did based on a lack of NCAA jurisdiction over JUCO. That’s not relevant here.

It’s starting to feel like LSU overpaid their OL and they aren’t happy with the market reset they are getting with the new coaching staff. The unfortunate part of the coaching turnover is that LSU will be less likely to get a “hometown” discount from the returning players. It’s going to be a daunting task to rebuild the entire OL roster. Hopefully the right players are available.
