The Portal class, right?
JUCO players do not need to enter the portal in order to matriculate to a 4 year institution. Therefore, they are part the 2026 recruiting class and not the 2026 portal class.

I can't believe someone that went to a junior college qualifies for a HS class, two years after he left HS, right?
There is no such thing as "HS class". There is the annual recruiting class which will include HS and JUCO and then there is the portal class which will be transfers from other institutions.

There’s been a lot of buzz that if Gayle ever wanted to sell Saints the Fertittas would be interested in them.
One of the disqualifying factors for NFL team ownership is ownership of gambling establishments. The Rooney family had to restructure ownership of the Steelers due to some of the Rooney siblings business interest in gambling establishments that had slot machines, among other NFL ownership requirements that were at issue. In order for the Fertitta's to own an NFL franchise, they would have to divest their interests in casinos.
re: Position Peoples coaches moving forward

Not sure whether to put this on recruiting board or not but I have never seen it discussed. Is Peoples going to coach edge or DT? Will he and Lucas have a mixed approach? Just seeing Peoples visit Toia today and another DT yesterday. Never remember Peoples ever visiting with DTs in the past, and wondered if that is shedding light on what he will focus on.
Just an observation for discussion.
Coaches are assigned geographical regions for recruiting purpose in addition to position specific recruiting. This way you can cast a wider net in the initial stages of the recruiting cycle.
re: LSU Athletics Financial Report Article

I may be confused, but didn’t the athletic department use to give the academic side 10-12 million every year?
Is that still the case
LSU Athletic Department pays LSU (the school) for the tuition and fees, housing, etc. for the scholarship athletes. A pure donation from the AD to the school was discontinued several years ago.
re: Current portal setup forces you to have to go all in

It also makes me wonder how many players on average who enter the portal every season and don’t get picked up.
According to On3
2021 67% transferred to new schools and 0.25% withdrew from portal
2022 65% transferred to new schools and 2.59% withdrew from portal
2023 65% transferred to new schools and 1.67% withdrew from portal
2024 69% transferred to new schools and 3.14% withdrew from portal
2025 68% transferred to new schools and 3.65% withdrew from portal
2026 (so far) 66% transferred to new schools and 1.37% withdrew from portal
So roughly 70% of players who enter the portal come out the other end. 30% made a bad decision. Now, as to the veracity of the On3 numbers, who knows.

That have followed their coaches to their new school over the last few years. The numbers would be interesting.
See ya in hell, Tiger fans!!
I'll tell you where to find same:
1. go to either 247 or On3 transfer portal page
2. click on the icon of a school with a new coach
3. count the transfers from previous school
4. toggle to a different school and repeat #1-#4

Thats without 3 transfers still not accounted for in their system
The JUCO transfer is listed under the current recruit section (2026 Recruits) and not the transfer section of 247 and On3 rankings (see link below). So only 2 transfers not accounted for in the rankings. However, 247 does not have the 2026 CB from Florida that recently committed to LSU.
Jones is listed under "Hard Commits"

People can technically pop up over the weekend since schools have 48 hours to enter once someone says they want to go in. They can let them know today and school doesnt have to have the paperwork done until Sunday
Is it two days or two business days for that 48 hour period?
Also there will be a window from January 20 - 24 (plus that aforementioned 48 hr period) for the players from the U and Indiana to enter the portal.

Alum Mark Cuban is writing checks and I'm sure others are also.
Where did you get this list? Can the veracity of this list be verified? Or is it some pundit's guesstimation of NIL spending?

I am excited to see all three of the new QBs. Hopefully all three get to see action early in the season as we blow teams out of Tiger Stadium.

It’s funny that they haven’t figured out how to get the two o-line players on there. They may be still searching the database to find them.
The OL from JUCO is listed in LSU's commitment list on current year's signing/commitment list on both 247 and On3 and not the Transfer Portal list.

Notice they did not mention 2020 Bama, which was the pundits' previous offensive comparison to the 2019 LSU offense. Cross that one off the list.
Got to drive the ratings.
