I have no doubt CLK and Charlie were drawing up plays on napkins at Supper Club for this kid

Maybe, but I hope they ALREADY have these plays in the playbook. :lol:

Who cares?? I don't. All I want is for LSU football to take the appropriate measures that allow them to succeed. :nana:

Only 21 scholarship players returning; no QB, no kicker or punter.

I thought the punter was returning. When did he announce for the portal?

Not much, if any. Ole Miss spring practices began around March 18, 2025, with the final practice concluding April 19, 2025.


Interesting. I didn't know that. Some here are in panic mode fearing we'll get a QB who is not able to participate in spring training.

During the spring portal window, Kiffin signed 6 additional players, including Trinidad Chambliss:


So Chambliss did not have spring training at Ole Miss before the 2025 season? :confused:

For casual/outdoor dress, my favorite is the Wilderness Instuctor Frequent Flyer belt. I also have some Wilderness Instructor belt knock offs I bought off Amazon. They're a LOT cheaper and generally ok, but avoid any belts w/ any elastic in it. An elastic belt and that little bit of stretch is not good for cc wear. For dressier wear, I use leather belts from Ronin Custom Leather. The quality is good, turnaround quick and price fair.

Button the 2nd button from the bottom on your shirt so your gun won't show if you catch a gust of wind. I ordered some extra long t-shirts, but they weren't worth the extra money. You'll naturally gravitate to your longer t-shirts.

several middling QBs out there who are serviceable but want to coach someday and would love to be at LSU under Lane. These types won't expect to start.


1+ This is the way.If Lane Kiffin is the offensive guru we all think he is, there should be a number of college QB's who have limited physical skills but a desire to someday coach. That's be the perfect #3 QB we should look for.
FIFY

ETA: First 2 seasons at one school so you can actually experience campus life and see if you like the place. Limit it to 2 free transfers without sitting out plus the grad transfer rule. It still wouldn't be the same as it used to be, but at least we wouldn't have these ridiculous situations where a guy plays at 6 different schools and never actually gives himself a chance to grow as a player or enjoy the college experience.

Good points and I generally agree. The only thing I'd do different is limit it to ONE free transfer w/o sitting out. They could still transfer a SECOND time if they've graduated. That might encourage some to graduate when they otherwise wouldn't.

What happens to the players that dont find a school? No way all the kids that enter from every school across the country find a new place to play. What happens to those kids? Their football career is just over?

IIRC, 40-50% of those in the transfer portal don't find a new home and end up out of college football.

My position is there be will corruption in both of those avenues.

Probably so, but it seems like the UN process would introduce extra layers of corruption.

quote:

My question is what is the process to be used where there is none?

Now that's a really good question. :bow:
quote:

So when the UN distributes the money there's less corruption??

I don’t know what we are arguing about. I don’t want the UN involved and I think it’s a bad idea to NOT directly oversee aid. What’s the question again?

I'm not arguing. I'm trying to understand your position. I suggested bypassing the UN would provide more money directly to the recipient. I took your response to mean there'd be more corruption when money is given directly to the recipient instead of going through the UN.
So when the UN distributes the money there's less corruption?? :confused:
quote:

If the U.S. wants to supply aid somewhere this should be the only way and there should be an independent non corrupt entity to do so.

Why can't the US donate world aid money DIRECTLY to the recipient instead of going through the UN. I'm sure a lot of money gets wasted and diverted to non charitable causes once the UN gets its hands on the donation.
I've been worried about so many OL leaving, but after watching a Matt Moscona show last week, I'm more at ease. My simplified version of his 25 min podcast:
The OL underperformed this season. However much NIL was invested in the OL, it did not match the performance. The OL who are declaring for the transfer portal are doing so because:
1. They've been told to find a spot w/ another team.
2. They've been told to expect a drop in their NIL for next season.
3. They're trying to get more NIL from a different team.
Moscona describes building a college roster as being akin to building an NFL roster. If we're going to invest NIL money in OL to upgrade, some of that money may come from OL that were overvalued in the '25 season. From the current roster, I just counted 10 guys who are returning thus far (not including Moore). Five have declared for the portal. Thompson is out of eligibility. We signed 2 in the early period. So far we're down net of 4 guys. I think we invest big in the portal and get 4-5 OL. Numbers wise, that would put us pretty close to where we were this year (as long as we don't lose a lot more).

We already knew that. If you don’t believe me, ask Ole Miss and they’ll confirm it.:-)

quote:

I totally agree with you about players wanting to go where they can get immediate playing time. The fact, however, is that there are more players chasing that playing time role than there are quality opportunities for them, with quality being the critical consideration. Someone has to decide if waiting a year at a real opportunistic location is more important than getting on the field "anywhere". Its up to our coaches to help the candidate figure that out.


Lots of good points. A problem is that while many of these young kids agree they may need time to develop into a starter, most think it'll be the OTHER guy who needs to develop. :banghead: I'm confident our coaching staff is better than most in giving the player good counsel.
