Just wait until they’re done playing and check back with us. Not saying that he’ll rape and pillage their roster, but he’s going to rape and pillage their roster. And with the playing longer, the time frame for them to backfill is going to be brutal
How many of his top recruits played for him at UTSA? People need to stop acting like the LSU brand isn’t a big part of his success.
Bear Bryant coached Kentucky, Bama, and A&M.

re: The way to fix bowl games

Players may not be, but the coaching staff certainly is. Their calendar is so compressed, they have to change gears and move to next season.
We don’t know if it’s ADs driving this or if students are involved in the process. Our outrage isn’t correctly placed without knowing.
This looks like a great opportunity to give Ju'Juan Johnson a bunch of first team reps and see if he can ball out as QB1 for the bowl game.

Chances are good that anyone on the roster currently isn't starting next year, might as well see if they're worth keeping as a backup.
The CFP committee has made it clear that out of conference cup cake games are not a deal breaker, so I see plenty other schools starting to pass on Bowl Games.

If they want bowl games to persists, they better make if financially beneficial to the athlete. Gone are the days where the company gets all the advertising, ESPN gets all the revenue, and the athlete gets a $200 grab bag. ESPN and bowl sponsors will have to pony up cold hard cash for these kids to play in meaningless ball games.

We already have 4 teams opting out this year in favor of getting a head start on the 2026 season, expect to see more in the future, especially with the calendar as it is.
The dude is 2 for 2 making the playoffs. Sure the bama fans are over zealous and no one is going to immediately fill Saban’s shoes, but even in a year with 3 losses, the team is in.

Get healthy and hot and you never know what can happen
I'm sure he's not actually angry. You feint ire to show that you're on your dude's side. If it means an enemy of my friend is my enemy, you make certain that your friends' enemy (PSU in this case) doesn't hire from anyone in your client pool. If they do get to the point of desperation, you pin their ears to the wall and demand an exorbitant amount of money to do so.

You and I know what we'd likely get paid to be in a car commercial, but who sets the market for what a collegiate athlete can make for doing a car commercial?

In absence of an established market, the first to do it are the ones that set the market. Eventually some level headedness comes back around and with enough data collected, a baseline can be set, but I don't see how they do this in college football without picking some arbitrary number.

And once they do cap NIL spending, it'll just roll back to the old system of paying under the table.

A + + + + + + + +? We're getting pretty close to that level.

If we flip the QB and see Lamar Browns name as a Tiger then we have done it.



So, just A + + + + + + + at this point..?

I'll agree with a caveat.

Evaluating HS talent can be a bit of a crap shoot, so in many cases, it takes a volume of commits to work through the busts. Some will make it, some will not. Ideally, you'd prefer to wade through a bunch of 4 and 5 stars to find the mega stars.

Now, that said, I think it's obvious that we're in for a pretty serious portal grab in the next few months. No use overloading the roster with dudes that you'll just have to process out down the line.
18 of 22 starters are transfer kids who are not from Mississippi. I'm guessing the bitching is not coming from them. It's coming from the other kids who don't crack the starting lineup, have a little passion for the institution.

The mercenaries who got them to 11-1 don't particularly care IMO.
Seems like a perfect farm system. Have O grab the 3 stars, coach em up and graduate them to the main roster.

You can get away with it for a year or so. If you’re successful, next years kids will come. As will the following. By the time the kids you’re grabbing now out of the portal graduate, the HS kids are field ready. For the positions where they’re not, you hit the portal again and look at the position coach.
Why want them to get beat. The very thing they were trying to avoid by letting Kiffin coach is exactly what they get if they win. Every second of every game will be talking about Kiffin/LSU.

Personally, I think having Weiss coach them is a recruiting opportunity. Every interaction is a chance to wink wink nod nod, get them in portal as soon as they lose out or win it all.
Who are we to say one way or another... Who's to say that as collegiate talent evaluators, perhaps LK's team sees something different than what BK's staff saw in some of these kids.

Keep in mind it was BK and Sloan that did a fair amount of the offensive evaluations.

We'll have to see how it all shakes out in the end.
Guess we'd just have to watch the news like our parents used to do.

I honestly didn't know which kids specifically were being discussed. I was just speaking generally.

If we're talking about Anderson, that's a monster that doesn't get the brakes pumped. That's a sign ASAP kinda dude.
When guys like this have bigger aspirations to be HC somewhere, it typically has a time frame associated with it, and is often, back of mind, with an intention of it being somewhere specific. A lot of big schools are replacing coaches this year, which means those schools are effectively off the table in the next 3-4 years (I know, right...).

If he's got these types of aspirations, I wonder, if taking the job at Tulane, does that push back his big school, big conference dreams slide his time frame a few years because he knows he'll have to be committed to Tulane for a longer period of time vs another year or 2 at LSU as DC?
