TRO orders the NCAA to open up the portal for one week for the plaintiffs. It also says the TRO shall remain in effect for 10 days unless it is renewed. If one of these players with an NFL team gets cut after the 10 days, does that mean it’s too late to come back to college?

Not sure about college but in NFL Guardian Caps are mandated in practice for everyone except QBs, kickers and punters. Certain position groups are exempt if they wear a certain helmet ok’d by the league. Guardian caps in games are voluntary.

Yeah, I don’t expect him at lsu.

You can make a good argument to come to LSU and get developed into a higher draft pick while getting paid. But you never know. Some kids just aren’t interested in coming to college.

When Jay was on Mik’d up, he was emphasizing the importance of keeping players for their 3 years. He said the example he uses, which LSU football fans are going to hate, is from Nick Saban.

He said Saban always told his players, no NFL scout ever called and asked how was a player his freshman year. He said they ask how they developed during their time there.

Jay said to take it a step further, he tells them Derrick Henry, didn’t start his freshman year at Alabama, but he stayed and developed and look what happened with him.

I like watching Mik’d up especially when Jay is on, but you are spot on. It’s not just Mikie, all of them ramble when asking their questions.

that they can still put players on DSA. That 2025 date listed earlier on this thread is irrelevant.

They cannot still put players on DSA and the 2025 deadline for designating is relevant. However, all players designated by that deadline carry the DSA designation with them for their entire eligibility, including if they transfer to another school. So any players we designated last year and are still on the roster, and any of the portal transfers in that were previously designated don’t count toward the 34 roster limit.

Edit - I guess if a player was on your roster last year and you didn’t designated them, and are still on your roster this year but have the potential to be cut, in theory could still be designated, but that is unclear. In addition, players that were designated by the July 2025 deadline got a special 2 week portal opening. If they are still allowed to be designated, would they get a special portal opening now? With all of the players we added through the portal and the incoming class, would this lead a player that sees playing time hard to come by enter the portal?

Ok. That went over my head. He was responding to Lester and I thought he was referring to Lester saying a player wasn’t that good any way if they weren’t coming to LSU. I thought the rumblings were that a right handed pitcher was going to withdraw from the draft. After that didn’t happen, I just assumed Sides was opened to signing.

How I wish I had more upvotes for this.

Vanderbilt outfield commit Eric Booth Jr went #7 overall to the Orioles.

When Cameron Flukey entered the portal, somebody asked if we had a shot at him. He was considered a draft risk. He got picked by Detroit at 22.

The 25-26 season was the initial year of DSAs. No incoming freshman were eligible to be DSAs. So, as I understand it, all sophomore and over guys on last years roster could have potentially been designated. Once the designation was placed on a player you can’t remove it. The player would stay a DSA until no more eligibility remains even if the DSA transfers. So the DSA designations will end when those sophomores are out of eligibility. So now with 5 for 5, those sophomores would have 3 years left. After that we should be at true 34 roster limit.
