PP7 for heisman

Word is they are bouncing back. I hope so for its sake.

I hear this every few years from STM. I don't know how true it is. I spoke with a doctor (and STM graduate) recently who said it's in the dumps. Someone else told me they're bouncing back.

I will say that with general population decline in New Orleans as well as people having less kids, none of the New Orleans private schools are really "growing" anymore.

IMO, the top 3 on this list are indistinguishable and are 1A/1B/1C. Newman may have a slight overall edge.

Isn’t this this his 7th season?

2020 - Free year
2021 - Freshman year
2022 - Medical Redshirt
2023 - Sophomore year
2024 - Medical Redshirt
2025 - Junior Year
2026 - Senior Year

He could probably apply for an 8th year using last year as a true red shirt as well because he played less than 5 games.

Not when the players become eligible who signed pro contracts which is what I was referring to but yeah dumb thing to complain about....

But they could very easily argue that they would have returned if they knew they were going to be granted a 5th year of eligibility.

Most of these guys are not going to stick on an NFL roster. These are likely moves they would have made if the NCAA made this position clear in March instead of July.

I would have a problem if a guy played 3 years in college, went to the NFL, played in the NFL for a couple years, then got cut, and returned to college for their last (2) year(s).

This is not that.

ETA: My point is there have been many "the sport is dead!" rulings that have been much more influential and consequential than this one. These players did not choose to leave college early - at least that was not what they thought they were doing. They have zero years of NFL service time. I do not have a problem giving the guys that qualify for a 5th year their 5th year - in this specific instance.

This pretty much kills college sports as we know it.

This is the most meaningless ruling we've had in some time. In fact, it's one of the few consistent with NCAA rules.

Players left in the spring not knowing they would be granted an extra year. This makes sense as it relates to the 5 for 5.

What's annoying is no one benefits from this more than Ole Miss.

That was a Joe Sloan thing. I think we could have gotten Arch Manning as a transfer instead but thats another story. Sloan nixed the deal.

No.

Sayin was heading to Baton Rouge when Saban retired but Underwood had committed two weeks prior and that wasn't going to work. Don't blame any party involved at the time. Underwood just fricked us 10 months later.

It ultimately worked out, so I'm not upset, but that's what happened.

quote:

---

With true 34 man rosters coming soon

---

I'm a little out of the loop on roster limitations, but I feel like every year we're told that the 34 man roster is "coming back" next year and then an amendment is made to expand them again.

I just don't think they'll lock it at 34, especially with 5 for 5 in play now.

Pledges had to stay up on all night and reserve a spot…great times. Tons of fights doing so

---

the most fun I had during pledgeship :lol:

My point was more that on Friday night, sigma Chi wasn’t going to set up in KA spot. Fiji wasn’t going to set up in Sig Eps spot.

shite one year sigma chi was suspended from like week 3 to week 10 and, despite having the best spot on the parade grounds right by the flag pole, no one took their spot.

Most of the ones named so far fit the bill. Odell, Jarvis, Brandon Lloyd, D Hop.

Some others were Santonio Holmes (more acrobatic than one handed), i hate him but Mike Evans seems to one hand a ton of balls.

Polomalu, Patrick Peterson, and Brent Grimes on defense.

quote:

Something like this won’t hold up in court. No way a former player can tell his former school that a player can’t wear a number. The number isn’t exclusive to Daniels. Other players have worn the number 5 before him.

---

The C&D isn't about LSU not being able to issue #5 to another player.

It's about LSU no longer being able to use Jayden's likeness for advertising, promotional, or commercial use.

ProjectP's comment had nothing to do with NI or the current state of college athletics and had everything to do with Nicholas publicly giving up on the 2025 team during the regular season.

---

Don't forget him also giving up on the 2023 team.

Shelton Sampson 4 star on some sites 5 on others. Did Nuss kill this kids dreams?

---

Sampson was at LSU in 2023 and 2024. In 2023, his quarterback won the heisman. In 2024, his quarterback threw for 4000 yards and 29 touchdowns.

In neither of those seasons did he catch a pass. In fact he dropped a touchdown pass in one of the games. I'd say he killed his own dreams.
