Fishhead Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Seriously, regarding NIL and transfers... Simple way to deal with it is make em have to sit a year again. Will it cure all? No. But sophomores will think twice for sure and juniors almost certainly will unless it's their only shot at PT. You wanna go to an FCS school, fine. But FBS to FBS? One year penalty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point was if they are going to pay someone then at least get a kid that is proven. Tolan hasn't done crap yet. Sure, potential is there but that reminds me a little Johnny joke.

Hatchertiger Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I have a feeling this is about something else besides playing time. Something must have happened that Kelly doesn't want to or can't put out there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSUDad Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 The Additions CB Darian “Duce” Chestnut - Sophomore - Syracuse CB Zy Alexander – Junior – Southeastern Louisiana CB Denver Harris – Sophomore – Texas A&M WR Aaron Anderson – Redshirt Freshman – Alabama EDGE Bradyn Swinson – Junior – Oregon DL Paris Shand – Junior – Arizona DT Jalen Lee – Junior – Florida DT Jordan Jefferson – Senior – West Virginia Aaron Anderson, the singular player this program has brought in on offense, provides the Tigers with a player who can add a different dimension to this squad. With the departure of Kayshon Boutte and Jaray Jenkins, this receiving corps needed a boost. Insert Anderson. Along with his contributions on offense, Anderson will be a huge piece to special teams. A gifted return specialist, the New Orleans native looks to fill that role almost instantly. The Departurea DeMario Tolan - Linebacker - Transferring to Auburn Jack Bech - Wide Receiver - Transferring to TCU Cam Wire - Offensive Lineman - Transferring to Tulane Kole Taylor - Tight End - Transferring to West Virginia Marcus Dumervil - Offensive Line - Transferring to Maryland Xavier Hill - Offensive Line - Transferring to Memphis Raydarious Jones - Cornerback - Transferring to Mississippi State Antoine Sampah - Linebacker - Transferring to Campbell Desmond Little - EDGE - Remains in NCAA Transfer Portal Philip Webb - EDGE - Remains in NCAA Transfer Portal Kolbe Fields - Linebacker - Remains in NCAA Transfer Portal Derrick Davis Jr. - Safety/Running Back - Remains in NCAA Transfer Portal Jaelyn Davis-Robinson - Cornerback - Remains in NCAA Transfer Portal Damarius McGhee - Cornerback - Remains in NCAA Transfer Portal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSUDad Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 LSU has received a commitment from transfer defensive lineman Ovie Oghoufo. The 6-foot-3, 239-pound Oghoufo comes from Texas but also signed with Notre Dame out of high school when Brian Kelly was the head coach and played at Notre Dame for two seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houtiger Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 As much as we hate to lose our kids through the portal, especially the frosh LB Tolan, most of our kids that entered the portal were not playing, may never play. With the players we are signing out of the portal, it seems to me we may be strengthening the roster. I assume Polian and his staff are good, identify really good kids, and LSU can afford to be picky about who they accept. Last year, clearly we upgraded the roster through the portal. What about this year, have we upgraded the roster through the portal again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about this year, have we upgraded the roster through the portal again? We will lose a few more after Spring, some will not like their position as to backup. Kelly is also doing a cleaning. He and the staff know where they want to be. Much like when he came in, some kids are not the right fit. The Spring will find out who wants to be here, who has the same vision. Every stop Kelly has had to do this, he’s good at what he does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchertiger Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Not that anybody expected him to declare but you never know. The one thing our offense lacked this year was consistently big plays from our RBs. Emery is running out of time to get it all together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
