He was PROJECTED preseason. He was never a top 10 pick last year. The projections assumed he would take a step up from 2024. But the combo of a spinal cyst and a porous OL had the opposite effect and he will now be selling insurance.

When did Nuss have a chance to go first round?
In fairness to Nuss and Perkins, whoever runs NFL.com had Sharp as the worst LSU draft eligible player. Lower than Weeks.
Perkins lost millions by going to the draft. Would have made way more at LSU.
I wish the Bucs were a stock. I’d short the hell out of them. Todd Bowles has to be scratching his head at what his GM is doing here.

No kidding. The kid is more likely to be a bust then even make the NFL.
7v7 in the summer won’t help. The 7v7 circuit is happening right now through the end of April. If he’s doing 7v7 in the summer it should be with his HS team.
I agree with many on here that camps are important. However, stay away from the mega camps (like SMU’s). I saw you were going to a Duke camp. That’s smart. There is also an Excellent camp at Trinity University in San Antonio in early June. Every single Ivy is there, plus schools like Richmond and Rice. And it’s a manageable size camp. My son got his first offer out of that camp.
At 5’9, 165, he’s unlikely to garner much P4 or other FBS. That’s just the reality. But there are plenty of FCS, D2 and D3 schools where he can play and prove himself. He should go where he can play and he should go for the degree as much as the football.

What do you think Ole Miss’ record will be with Pete Golding?

I agree with this. The whole Hermes / Iris interplay and walking pre-parades is awesome. Plus if you get into Galatoire’s it’s epic. Sadly those seats were auctioned off this year for an average of $3k per seat.
re: Saban Question...Does anyone else find it odd that he is an ambassador for us now?
Posted by ROPO on 1/25/26 at 6:31 pm to monkeymonk174
Plus, cynically, I am sure Saban would like to see another team besides Bama (now that he’s gone) rise to SEC dominance. It makes what he did at Bama more special if they fail to sustain success without him.

Feels like only areas that are not absolutely stacked are CB and DT

You think LSU invested millions into this guy to have him ride the pine?
Who did Lane pay more last season - Simmons or Chambliss?
Leavitt will have to lose the job but make no mistake, if either of the other two is demonstrably better, Lane will have no problem playing them.
Wonder what the final figures are?

You know that the deal will leak somehow, likely from the jilted parties. I’m not paying it so it’s no skin off my back, but I wonder how much we are paying for Seaton?
247 Portal Rankings

With the swipe of their edge, LSU has passed Ole Miss in the average ranking of their portal players. This includes all of the special teams specialists. #1 overall (by a mile) and #7 on average rating.
This means nothing except I have been annoyed by Ole Miss fans trying to argue they have better quality. And if anything I still think a lot of our guys are vastly underrated.

You are forgetting Harper. And Dottery and about to be your best edge rusher.

Nothing semi about it. It’s a second pro league
You don’t post this after Kiffin posts his return to the ops building if you plan to pick LSU. I don’t know how we can spin it any other way.
re: So far, we got 8 OL in the portal. Lost a few.

I fear you are correct. OL talent is still not great. Hope we get Seaton in a way that doesn’t create locker room issues.

How did he do in that role?

They are what their film says they are. We need some of Cignetti’s philosophy here as it pertains to portal guys: production over “potential”
