Those are some nice highlights. He towers over his competition, is physical and has good speed.
I say get this guy for 1/4 of the price for Seaton and get two more OLs. Seaton could get hurt and that $4M or whatever he is going to command is going to get flushed. You take that chance on Leavitt because he's a QB. I don't know if you pay that price for a guy who is part of a 5-man unit.

Wait, which F was silent again - the first or the second?

As per Blake Ruffino. Said LSU isn’t paying that, but thinks Miami will. Staff seems to think with what they have, what they brought in and the coaches to develop that they don’t need to overpay for him.


Good, that's what my impression is as well. That's a lot of money to spend on someone who is likely only going to slightly move the needle in the unit's production. I'd rather spend on two really solid OLs and an elite CB.
Looking at the schedule and all of the uncertainty, including the health status of Leavitt, I'm thinking folks should expect 3 losses next year. I'm not saying that's best-case scenario, but that is a reasonable expectation of success.

That may or may not get us to the playoffs but that record with solid, improving play as the season progresses is what I'm expecting.

Not that I know anything but I remember reading about him, thinking he would be an elite guard at his peak development. In last year's OL class, he was the guy I was most interested in.
I don't see Landen Clark either. Does this mean we still have no QBs?

I think you need to keep worrying.

How can this be a smoke screen?


I agree. Leavitt's silent commitment (if it happened) means nothing. We need to sign Clark and see how things play out with Leavitt or any other higher profile QB. Sign Guerra or Holstein too.

Yes, but you don't just abandon Leavitt while he is visiting


Do we know if that really happened?

Also, Leavitt was looking at his phone and ignoring Kiffin. That's not a good look. It shows a lack of interest and a lack of respect.

I'd like to sign Leavitt if we can but I trust LK's judgment. We don't know how his injury will affect his future performance and frankly, I'm not sure about his attitude. Lots of pictures at the game where you could tell Lane was annoyed and the kid was on his phone, not being present. It's an interview, for goodness sake. If I were interviewing a promising college kid for a very important job and he kept scrolling his phone that would tick me off. It was also troubling to see that he may have acted similarly at UT.

Now, Leavitt can remedy that but I don't know if he will.

There are other QBs to be had.

I feel like there was something about Leavitt they just didn’t like. It feels like they jumped on the Williams train while Leavitt was still in town.


I think this is likely as well - probably a health and attitude combination.

They went after a QB that had just resigned with their current school while they had a top ranked QB on campus. LSU did this to themselves.


Do we know Leavitt would have signed? It sounds like he liked being wined and dined but never got to "yes". Seems he did the same to UT.

We'll get someone. Start with the Elon QB and build up from there.
I can't see why Kiffin wouldn't want Ole Miss to win the NC. Doesn't he receive $2.5M from LSU if they do?
That’s huge. Maybe Williams will now just withdraw, enroll at LSU and sign.

And I agree, there would be minimal damages at this point.
I can't tell what is satire and what is real anymore.

That was in a thread that was anchored this morning. Joseph Hebert from Marksville is not reputable source.

There are 10 days left in this portal period.
Isn't Eli Holstein in the portal? We got his TE, are we pursuing him, too?
I love coming to this board. I’m not sure why I enjoyed this thread so much but “stink of the Allen regime” and the guy saying we lost big and called out as a clown just made me laugh.

I’m really looking forward to the draft and for the 2026 season.
Isn’t that just a prediction? Is there something besides a 60% prediction from a couple of guys?
