On all this Deuce back and forth... It's been speculated that Auburn is willing to pay him starter money to stick around as a backup this year, and be the presumptive starter next year. Let's say that's true and he ultimately decides to take that deal. Would that be a 2 year deal? Otherwise, what's stopping him from cashing checks being an overpaid backup this year and just entering the portal next year? How would this work with him? If he could just bail the next cycle, what's the incentive to overpay now?

If Golesh can bring home some line players and somehow bring Deuce back, he is the AU Czar!

I really think we are playing for next year. I know that is hard to believe, but the more I look at Byrum Brown the more I think he is the guy that can get us in the thick of it and can win games when we need him too.

I've had lots of Kool-Aid tonight, but ain't it fun?!

Hell yeah, that is the kind of guy we should be looking to bring in. Forget where he played, he has the measurables and has performed on the field. Get his arse in here.

Maybe that is the hang up. Maybe we want to lock him down for multiple years and he/his agent are hesitant.

I guess he thinks no matter how many drops, he's still going to be targeted on every play? I have to wonder if the new staff advised him to look into what the portal had to offer.

I haven't been this rock hard since I read that Cam Newton had committed. If Golesh has the eye for talent, goes and gets some overlooked guys that had to prove themselves because they weren't highly recruited out of high school, we just might just have an eye-opening season. Especially with that defense coming back!

If he brings Deuce back after Brown, jville should have to get a tattoo of Golesh's face on his chest

When we make the playoffs, remember I called it before the portal opened

Just my personal opinion, and i could be very wrong, but i think the Deuce ship has sailed. it was reported not long ago that we're looking at Oregon State QB Tristan Tia, most likely for the backup spot.

This LSU QB situation is nuts.

Washington QB signs a new deal to stay at Washington like two days ago. Leavitt visits LSU. While Leavitt is at the basketball game at LSU, the Washington QB announces he’s leaving Washington for LSU for $6 million.

Told his teammates he was leaving at a celebration of life…

Never told a soul at Washington before doing it…


Yep, and Washington has said that they plan on using every legal avenue to make him honor his contract.

This could get ugly for Kiffin. I mean surely he wasn't planning on signing both Leavitt & the Washington QB. that isn't going to work at all. now Leavitt is probably like WTF? he can't trust Kiffin and signs somewhere else and then Washington forces the QB to stay there and Kiffin misses on both.

Kiffin is, and always has been, a snake in the grass. Long term I am glad we didn't hire him. As soon as one of the LA NFL jobs open up, he's gone.

We should hopefully start to see pieces fall into place now that Brown signed.
