I know he inherited a super talented bama team, and in year one only won 9 games, but he did make the playoffs in his second year and he’s beat our arse. He also brought Washington to a national championship and has a top high school recruiting class. Anyone after Saban was never gonna match his success.

I mean it’s a LSU based forum. LSU hasn’t had a reason to be excited about football in years. Now we hire a rival’s coach, that has been killing it recruiting in his short time here. We’re excited. It’s no different than any other fan base when something good happens. There’s just more of us on this forum.

I mean it’s the number one class in the portal currently. A lot of time for that to change, but to call it a joke is ignorant. We need more lineman, but I have confidence that will happen.

I agree! The schedule is brutal. It’s a fully new and different offense for players to learn. A lot of new, important players to get comfortable. Portal QBs at LSU have historically made huge jumps in year 2 after getting comfortable. We did lose a lot, but did return several experienced weapons on top of signing a lot of players with high ceilings. With our schedule if we win 9 games, but are competitive in all of our games, I’d call that a great year!

Everyone, me including, figured next season would be a rebuilding year. It may be a rebuilding year, we had a ton of players leave, it’ll be first year for a new offensive system to learn, new coaches to get to know, tons of new players…BUT with this portal hall and some solid experience play could we compete for a cfp spot in year one with Lane? I think we have a ton of offensive weapons and we have Blake Baker back as DC and some experience there still. I feel like the biggest thing will be how we finish out on the offensive line, edge rusher, and if Leavitt’s injury is fully healed and not slowing him down any.

I know other schools are returning a lot of talent and receiving tons of talent in the portal as well, but it’s hard not to look at LSU and not be excited. It’s crazy how fun LSU football has already been with Lane Kiffin verses how boring and frustrating it’s been the past 2 years.

Wish Echols and Adams would have stayed as wel

Add Curne to that list for me. He was so young and thrown in a starting spot. I think he had a lot of potential. He wasn’t rated that highly out of high school and as one of the top linemen in the portal for no reason.

Yeah we have like 3 more than last year

We actually have less than we had last year.

I’m not sure where I said in my reply that you HAVE to get to the 105, but we’re not even to the previous 82 man yet! The law of averages tell you the more players you have, the more chances you have for a hidden gem to pop up and surprise you!

Do you not realize you need QBs for scout team? You have to have QBs to help our 15 wr’s we’ll have get reps catching from live arms? Theres a lot more to a good team than just what you see on the field. You can’t go into a year in the SEC with 2 scholarship QBs.

If that’s real it’s gotta be the Demon Williams news getting leaked as him going to LSU, but I thought that came out when they were all at the basketball game? Either way it’s a mess.
