  1. Brian Kelly players at Notre Dame will do something in this years NFL Draft, that LSU, will do in next years draft. That’s, have both OT drafted into the NFL, the same year. ND’s Blake Fisher and Joe Alt, this year. LSU to follow next year with Will Campbell and Emery Jones. Kelly’s time at ND, he had 11 players drafted into the NFL. In 2021, he had 3 OL drafted, both OT’s and a guard. Next year, we could see 4 of the 5 starting OL drafted, from LSU. The two OG should have a shot in the NFL Draft also. Another LSU OL, Center Charles Turner, might have a shot at getting drafted. At least a UDFA shot.
  2. 'The sky's the limit': LSU gymnastics won its fifth SEC Championship Ava Hebert | @avahebe4 Mar 23, 2024 Updated 19 mins ago LSU gymnastics seniors pose Friday, March 15, 2024, after LSU's 198.250-196.075 win against North Carolina at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center in Baton Rouge, La. Morgan Cook LSU won its fifth SEC Gymnastics Championship with a score of 198.075, including two perfect 10s. The Tigers were the only team to break 198. Alabama came in second with 197.750, Kentucky followed with 197.60 and Florida finished fourth with 197.30. “This is a great group, and I’m very proud of how they’ve gone about their business all year long,” head coach Jay Clark said. “Any four of these teams could’ve won this thing.” Although the Tigers finished the first half of the rotation tied for first, they shined the most in the second half of the meet. Once again, the Tigers’ floor routine proved to be the best in the country, as LSU only posted one sub-9.90 score out of its top five, including a perfect 10 by Kiya Johnson. “We’re very, very confident on the floor,” Bryant said. “We just wanted to be normal- nothing more, nothing less.” Freshmen Konnor McClain and Amari Drayton got things started for the Tigers on the floor. McClain followed her perfect score on beam with a 9.925, and Drayton scored a 9.850. KJ Johnson tied her career-high floor score with a 9.975, then Bryant followed with a 9.950, setting up Kiya Johnson for her ninth career 10. The Tigers started the second half of the meet on balance beam, where freshman McClain scored the first perfect 10 of the night. “I’m just proud of Konnor,” Clark said. “It was a total group effort, and it came from different places.” Her routine was preceded by Sierra Ballard’s powerful leadoff performance. Ballard scored a 9.80, and Savannah Schoenherr followed with a solid 9.850. After McClain’s 10, Bryant scored a 9.950, setting up Aleah Finnegan to anchor with a 9.875. LSU went into its final event in second place. Kentucky led with 148.425, followed by LSU at 148.40. Alabama was in third with 148.20, and Florida trailed with 147.850. With the Tigers as the top seed, they started the night on vault. KJ Johnson stuck the first landing of the night, scoring a 9.875. Finnegan and Schoenherr followed with 9.850s, then Kiya Johnson scored the first 9.90+ score of the night (9.925). Bryant anchored with a 9.975. LSU and Alabama ended the first rotation at the top with a score of 49.475. Kentucky followed with 49.425 and Florida trailed with 49.400. Alabama took LSU’s spot on vault while the Tigers moved to uneven bars. Kiya Johnson led with a 9.825, and Ashley Cowan followed with a 9.950. McClain scored a 9.90, Schoenherr followed with a 9.850 and Bryant anchored with a 9.90. LSU and Kentucky’s total score increased to 98.925, followed by Alabama at 98.775 then Florida at 98.575. LSU entered the meet ranked No. 1 for the first time since 2019. They were followed by Florida at two, Kentucky at three and Alabama as the No. 4 seed. “We’ve done the work all year and now it’s just about being confident and doing our normal,” Clark said earlier in the week. “If we do that, then we’ll see how the chips fall.” The chips fell in LSU’s favor. With the exception of a select few out-of-state fans, the Smoothie King Center was packed with purple and gold, emitting the feeling of a home meet for LSU. The Tigers delivered for their fans. “We certainly want success at this meet, but this isn’t our final destination,” Clark said earlier in the week. The Tigers’ next challenge lies at the NCAA Regionals. “We’re not done yet,” Bryant said. “The sky’s the limit.”

  4. LSU already has the No. 1 class in the 2025 cycle at the moment, and it could get even better if it can pull off a colossal flip this weekend. The Tigers are hosting five-star Florida Stateoffensive tackle commit Solomon Thomas, as was first reported by Tom Loy of 247Sports. Thomas has also locked in upcoming visits with in-state programs Florida and Miami. The Raines (Jacksonville, Fla.) prospect ranks as the No. 1 interior offensive line prospect in the nation and No. 2 player in the state of Florida. The 247Sports Composite Rankings slot him as the No. 13 overall player nationally.
  5. LSU continues to build up its off-field football staff, and the program has recently added a pair of analysts who will work on the defensive side of the ball: Jermauria Rascoand Jack Witte. Rasco’s name should be a familiar one for LSU fans as he was a defensive end for the Tigers from 2011-14 prior to a brief playing career in the NFL. He began his coaching career at Texas A&M in 2017 and spent the next three seasons as an analyst at Arizona. Since 2021, he has worked at Louisiana-Lafayette, where he was a player development coordinator under Billy Napier and later Michael Desormeaux. Witte, meanwhile, follows new defensive coordinator Blake Baker from Missouri, where he was a defensive graduate assistant. The Covington, Louisiana, native was also previously a graduate assistant at Tulane and Northwestern State.
  6. This staff hasn’t slowed down. They are doing the leg work now. Soon, the recruits, they start talking with other players. Come with us to LSU, we are building a National Championship Team. The Offensive Linemen Kelly gets, they follow a list as to what they are looking for in that group of position players. They don’t venture far as to what they are looking for. Every place Kelly has been, he’s followed this. Kelly had no choice but to start two true freshman, he didn’t have an option. He would rather bring them along slower.
  7. LSU Football's Strategic Transfer Portal Approach: Jardin Gilbert Emerges as Top-Rated Addition for 2024 Season PHOTO BY: LSU ATHLETICS The addition of safety Jardin Gilbert through the transfer portal marks a significant boost for LSU football as they gear up for the 2024 season. With Gilbert's rating rising from 91 to 93, he now stands as the highest-rated transfer addition for LSU in the current season, showcasing the team's commitment to quality over quantity in their defensive back recruits. Gilbert's ascent in the rankings positions him as the No. 26 player nationally and the No. 2 safety, underscoring his potential impact on the team's defense. LSU's approach to the transfer portal reflects a strategic shift under Coach Brian Kelly, who aims to introduce healthy competition and enhance the team's performance by bringing in seasoned players. As LSU transitions from a period of low starting experience to having a wealth of seasoned players, including transfer acquisitions like Gilbert, the stage is set for competitive spring practices. Observers eagerly anticipate Gilbert's performance in the National L Club Spring Game on April 13, recognizing it as a pivotal moment to gauge his impact and potential contribution to the team's success in the upcoming summer and fall seasons. Overall, LSU's careful and strategic approach to the transfer portal, exemplified by the rise of Jardin Gilbert's rating, reflects a commitment to securing quality acquisitions in key positions to bolster the team's overall performance.

  9. Another Hit: LSU Adds Commitment From No. 1 IOL in America Tyler Miller Miller adds to the Bayou Bengals' No. 1 recruiting class in the 2025 cycle, Tigers secure the coveted lineman. ZACK NAGY UPDATED: MAR 17, 2024 2:28 PM EDT LSU TIGERS Brian Kelly and the LSU football staff continue stockpiling talent for the long haul after reeling in a commitment from the No. 1 interior offensive lineman in America: Tyler Miller. The 6-foot-6, 320-pounder provides offensive line coach Brad Davis with another coveted prospect to add to his position group. Miller, a Mississippi native, is rated as a consensus four-star recruit across all platforms and is the 71st ranked prospect per On3. He chose the Tigers over a slew of programs including Ole Miss, Florida and Mississippi State, among others. Now, after visiting Baton Rouge last weekend, Miller has shutdown his recruitment and revealed his pledge to Kelly and Co. as he begins spring football. The trip to The Boot paved the way for Miller to commit to the Tigers and join their No. 1 recruiting class in the country. On3's evaluation of Miller: “Tyler Miller has been in the top 100 for On3 for several months. A guy who could play multiple positions on the offensive line. Got to see him in person at the Atlanta Under Armour camp, he is really well-built at 6-foot-5, 315 pounds. Has plus length with 34-plus inch arms. A violent, physical run-blocker. Going to need to continue to develop in pass protection, and I think his skillset right now projects most seamlessly on the interior, but he’s a good athlete, fluid mover and a guy who, when you look at the pure physical ability and his ready-made size, projects well.” LSU now has four prospects rated No. 1 at their position committed in the 2025 class. - Bryce Underwood: No. 1 QB - Harlem Berry: No. 1 RB - Dakorien Moore: No. 1 WR - Tyler Miller: No. 1 IOL Who could be next? Three prospects to keep tabs on: The James Simon Buzz: Brian Kelly and Co. have been adamant about locking down Louisiana and building a wall around the state when it comes to The Boot's best players. Now, the Tigers have secured commitments from six of the Top 10 prospects with one more trending their way. LSU has continued its push for the No. 4 player in Louisiana: James Simon. The No. 2 running back in the Bayou State and Top 10 back in the 2025 cycle is quickly trending LSU's way after visits with the coaching staff.

  13. Unreal: Blaise Taylor, former Titans scout, charged in poisoning death of girlfriend, unborn child Metro Nashville Police will be working with Utah authorities to arrange Taylor’s return to Nashville. Blaise Taylor FILE photo By Daniel Smithson Published: Mar. 15, 2024 at 10:32 AM CDT|Updated: 1 hour ago NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - A former Tennessee Titans scout has been indicted on two counts of first-degree murder in the death of his girlfriend and her unborn child. Blaise Taylor, 27, was arrested by Deputy U.S. Marshals at the request of MNPD in Utah after the grand jury indictment. Taylor worked as a pro scout for the Titans for four years, according to his LinkedIn profile. He’s also the son of former University of Tennessee assistant coach Trooper Taylor. The younger Taylor is accused of poisoning Jade Benning on March 6, 2023, on her 25th birthday, and the unborn baby which Taylor allegedly fathered. Benning was rushed to Vanderbilt University Medical Center by ambulance on Feb. 25, 2023, after Taylor called 911 and said Benning appeared to be having an allergic reaction and asked for paramedics. Police said Benning’s condition immediately became critical. Her unborn fetus died on Feb. 27. Police said Benning was not able to be interviewed by detectives before she died. Police said months of investigation, led by homicide detective Adam Reese, and involving scientists from the crime lab and doctors from the Medical Examiner’s Office, led to Wednesday’s murder indictment against Taylor.
