quote:transfers are allowing everybody a chance to have more draft picks.
They also seem to have issues developing talent. Besides the 26 draft they've averaged 3 to 4 players a year drafted.
TAMU's top 8 draft picks (the ones who went in the first 4 rounds), 5 of them were transfers and 3 of those transfers were one and dones. The remaining 3 guys who stayed with them from high school were OL and DL. Out of the people who usually get drafted from TAMU, they were usually OL, DL, or LB. So now they can get transfer DBs and WRs and it works in their favor.
It's actually scary how consistent it is since Jimbo. Every now and again you'll see a DB or WR in the top 4 rounds in TAMU's SEC tenure, but if you go over just Jimbo's tenure (2019 draft through 2024 draft) of their 15 top 4 round picks, 11 of them were trenches or LB. Of the other 4, two were RBs, one a QB, and one a TE. Also, if you go after Elko's first year, all 3 draft picks were DEs.
So over a 7 year period before 2026, of their 18 top 4 round picks, all 18 played the closest to the line of scrimmage and only 4 didn't play OL, DL, or LB. TAMU had a myriad of 5 star and high 4 star DBs and WRs, and none of them panned out until they started getting them from the portal last season.
That will get you the 8-4 moniker all the time. Good line play with a good run game will keep you consistent, but it won't get you a championship.
With all that said, IDK why they are waisting so much on high school players. Money isn't the only thing making them leave.
re: 2027 class ( lots of out of state commits)
Posted by Datbayoubengal on 6/18/26 at 12:45 am to Ponchy Tiger
IDK what you want my man. LSU has IMO, the best QB in the state, the best RB in the state, and is still pushing for the best OL and WR in the state. They have one of, if not the best TE in the country from the state, Anding's lil bro is a safety that is considered the 2nd best safety in the state, and i personally think we have the best corner in the state.
LSU can end up with 7 of the top 12 on 247 and Rivals composite and possibly 8 of the top 12 on the composite if we can convince Simien to stay home (i am 100% convinced Royal will flip to LSU). Once you remove the redundancy of 3 QBs being in the top 12, LSU could legit finish with 7 of the top 10 which is about on par with what we always do in Louisiana, and again with Simien, 8 of the top 10.
Also, Lane is not going to load up on high school guys. He's likely taking about 20 guys from high school. We may pick up 4-5 more guys in state. So 9-10 in state and 10-11 out of state.

quote:We kicked off Perriloux and he was going to be the damn starter that year. We had to play a kid from Harvard, a redshirt freshman and a true freshman in his place. Peririloux's release actually started a gap between 2008 and 2019 that we had ONE good year at QB. Every other year could be described as the downright horrendous to slightly above mediocre at best. Since 2019 Burrow we've had 2021 Max Johnson (who was good with a couple really bad games thrown in), 2022 JD5 (who was really good with a couple of really bad games thrown in), 2023 JD5, and 2024 Nuss (same as 2022 JD5).
This dude is delusional. We’ve disciplined multiple players over the years and kicked some off the team for fighting, smoking weed, etc… including one of the best players to ever suit up.
Idk that theres a world where even LSU fights this hard for eligibility for a player gambling on his own team.
We kicked off what would have possibly been (had he stayed his 3rd and final year), the best play ever from LSU. Think of Mathieu as a junior. He would have been a 2x all American + freshman all american, likely 2x Chuck Bednarik winner and 1x Thorpe award winner (would have been twice but Mo was so damn lock down and electric himself AT LSU). I also think we beat Bama and finish 12-2, losing the SEC championship game, but beating our BCS bowl team. I mean you'd have had to retire the #7 jersey at that point right?

I am. He's just playing the leverage game, as are all the 5*. LSU calling his bluff is a good thing!
Green didn't get a crazy pay day to come here and now he's getting no less than 750k this year.

Dude. He was a cheat when we got him from Michigan State. He didn't lure some of those Florida athletes up to East Lansing because of his personality. I recall talking to another LSU fan about this the week we hired him.
Anybody taking up for him on this are hypocrites too. Dodge chargers and stacks of money for any good kid coming in as a freshman. Social media had this everywhere.

He is correct. Of course he is omitting the fact that Bama cheated at recruiting during his entire tenure there and he retired ironically just as the field became somewhat even among the big money schools.
The hypocrisy in his words is astounding. We all know damn well Alabama talked to Boutte and Ricks. That's why they kept asking for more money. We convinced both to come back, but Bama tried it multiple years. Ricks thought he had Stingley value.

Yeah he has a cool pod. I think he just graduated or graduated last year from LSU. He gets some good sideline video at practice and during games. Several of his youtube shorts and tiktoks of LSU have gone viral (the one when Baker juked the DB at practice was almost everywhere).
It's an LSU sports podcast, but he talks about the Saints and Pelicans too.

Her contract is through 2033. Fulfilling that contract (7 more years) is way more realistic than 3-5 in the absence of health issues or taking a major step back. She's only 64

Nobody will have any reason to believe he has any effect on those things, but he's the front face that everybody knows.
never understood why people say this. He bleeds whatever program is paying him the most- Miami, USC, Ole Miss, Tenner, etc. Here are the absolute facts:
1. He quit from LSU as a player. Does that sound like someone who “bleeds purple and gold”?
2. He destroyed the program from “quitting on LSU” as a coach after receiving a huge contract extension.

I'm going to personally give all praise to the position coaches and recruiting coordinators if things improve unless someone directly mentions O as instrumental in something improving.
