No way will LSU get up to 105 spots filled. Having said that, it doesn't matter. LSU has almost 30 in the transfer portal, several out of eligible seniors, some early draft enrollees. Even counting the new HS guys and the incoming transfers already, LSU still has about 15 slots just to get up to 85. And what some here don't understand apparently is you need special team players, 2nd and 3rd string players, and probably at least a couple of these small school players will surprise and may even start.
I know you are only talking big schools QBs but I'm putting in Clark from Elon regardless. He is definitely better than Lagway and Raiola who I have seen play multiple times. Knight was redshirted I believe so his exposure has been limited. Longstreet only played when the starter was hurt for a few games. I'll go with Landen Clark as one QB for sure...starter to be determined by competition. But Clark IMO is a better QB than Nussmeier or Van Buren was so that is an advantage right there.

Smaller school guys are mostly filler with a few surprises if they earn it.

Yeah, 2 statements are really being put out that are assuming a lot
1) all these LSU OL that are transferring to good SEC teams proves that the OL coach was horrible. I do think the OL coach was horrible BUT the first is not proof of the second. Unless you can prove that those ex-LSU OL will be STARTING for their new teams that proves nothing.
2) small school guys signed by LSU says these will be the OL starters. Some may be but my guess is most of these guys will be reserves, special team players, etc.

I wouild presume only one player is penalized and that would be the first one to who did something illegal.


Looked pretty simultaneous to me. But I will admit I don't have the technology at my fingertips to "sync up" the timing of two different camera angles of the same play. But of course, you SHOULD be right but I have seen countless examples where it is the opposite. As you know, there is the old (and many times true saying) of "they always catch the second guy".
Bad resolution but great picture anyway. It clearly shows the Ole Miss player interfering with the Miami player. The most shown ESPN shot was from the other side of the field and showing the Miami player with his hand on Ole Miss player's collar. As I said, can't call a penalty on one unless you call on the other also...they did EXACTLY the same thing.

If I had to take a guess, you have hit your limit at the bar. :rotflmao:
I agree it was a good pass unlike some here who said he gave no chance for the ball to be tipped. But I disagree it was a close call. Once again, if you look at BOTH angles, the OM WR had just as good of a hold of the UM DB jersey as vice versa. It would have been a hideous call for it to be PI. If they let the players hand fight which they allow all the time, you can't dismiss one guy holding the other player's jersey by the collar and say the other guy pulled his collar.
In the Miami game that was NOT pass interference unless you want to call it on both players. The first shot I saw I thought it was...the Miami defender had his hand inside the top of the OM receiver jersey almost like a horse collar. Then, when the camera shot was from the other side of the field, the OM receiver had his hand inside the Miami guy's jersey in the exact same manner. Both were looking like they were almost trying to horse collar the other. Thus, it is either pass interference on BOTH players (never seen that called) or "let 'em play" because neither was gaining the advantage. Ref got that one exactly right.
Hard pass on Lagway. After 2 years in college, he still looks like a work in progress to me. LSU needs immediate help...not a developmental guy.

He's still very young and is at minimum an exciting prospect.

I wasn't clear in my comment. I did NOT mean to say he isn't worth a scholarship, some NIL, etc. What I meant was I certainly saw nothing in that video that made we think he was ready to be an immediate answer to starting QB. LSU needs an immediate answer to be starting QB. Landen Clark would qualify IMO, Longstreet would not. I do approve of your word prospect which accidentally might agree with my opinion...prospect, not walk in SEC starter capable.
I realize that was only 1 game but I saw really nothing sensational out of that almost 3 minute video. He didn't even try a long pass. Thanks, but I put Landen Clark from Elon above this guy unless Longstreet comes out with a lot more video a lot more sensational that his one against Missouri State.
1 to 2. And that isn't necessarily a negative either. As I've said before, Chambliss and Lacey on offense and a couple of players on defense like Harris make Ole Miss look a lot better than they are. Miami DOMINATED their OL and the WR were open all night long against their secondary.

Thanks but no thanks on a bunch of Ole Miss players. Less than a handful of players exaggerated that team's overall talent.
quote:

As a backup, sure. I don't know if he's got the arm to make big time SEC throws though. I didn't watch all of the highlights, if there is an example of good arm strength in there point me to it

He has a little Pavia in him though. Short guy, tough, swag.


On his 2:25 mark of his 3:30 highlights in the OP, he threw a ball from his own 10 to the opponent's 30 so a guy who can throw the ball 60 yards isn't shabby. I have also said your Pavia comment as I called him a "discounted Pavia". I don't think he is good but he is in the general talent area.
I agree that very few Ole Miss players will transfer to LSU. Having said that, the overall talent on that team is overrated. If Chambliss didn't play this season, Ole Miss is like 8-4 regular season. If Lacey also doesn't play, they're probably 7-5. The receivers on Ole Miss team wouldn't scare me. The OL was better than LSU's but not outstanding by any stretch. The secondary of Ole Miss was flat out poor. Harris and another DL are good. Perkins is good. But Chambliss and Lacey carried that team.

To be honest, I don't care if LSU gets any players from Ole Miss or not.
quote:

Quality quarterback and o-line help too.

Yeah, I agree. Chambliss makes quick decisions, throws on time, and throws passes with velocity...not to mention a threat to run. Compare him to an injured? Nussmeier playing QB. He made slow decisions thus throwing late. His passes didn't have the zip they had as a JR. And of course, he believed if he went past the LOS on a run, death lasers would dematerialize him. Also, the OL was better but really, Miami and Georgia last week got plenty of pressure on him but he either ran away from it or the pass was already gone when they got there.

Why is this QB still unsigned in the portal?


He has been at least a serviceable QB but not great. Also, he is another guy who had a serious injury...broke a leg I believe. Just like Sam Leavitt if I was a head coach, I would check into the medical history of guys who didn't come close to playing a full season the year before.
quote:

He threw no less than 3 pics tonight if Miami DBs don’t have bricks for hands.

I thought in general he played outstanding BUT you are correct. 3 passes were either directly to UM players or easy deflection to one. My favorite quote of all time was by Bill Yeoman the former UH coach. WR Lionel Phi dropped several passes in a game they played. Yeoman said "it this keeps up, I'm moving him to defensive back." :rotflmao: There is a reason that some of these guys are on defense. They can't catch a cold.
I wouldn't call it a pyramid scheme but more like extortion or blackmail. His brother has been a clown the entire time. He was the one who said that Sam would enter the portal WELL BEFORE the legitimate opening on the portal.

re: LSU OL Adams to A&M

Let's wait and see if these transfers START at their new schools. There is quite the difference between starting at LSU and being subs at these other SEC schools.
I agree. LSU will be in real trouble if this guy would be a starter. IMO, he won't be. He will be the type of OL who goes in when someone goes to the medical tent for a series....might be a blocker on the LOS when LSU punts, etc.
"Amateur sports"? :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

I suggest you look up the definition of Amateur. You obviously don't know what the word means.
