So only 4 guys?
Need to put your 3 Heisman winners and one more. The one more is probably Tommy Casanova. So:
1. Burrow
2. Cannon
3. Daniels
4. Casanova
Really hard to leave off several guys but that's my 4.

re: I’m 10x more upset at the thought of losing Trey’dez than losing the game

Yes same. Given it was Kiffin’s first year at LSU with 40+ new players I thought it almost impossible to go undefeated. I thought 2 losses, look good, make the playoffs and see what happens. I thought the Ole Miss game was likely a loss given it was early in the season, on the road, extremely motivated opponent and NFL caliber QB and RB. If Green is out for the year that will hurt a lot more than this loss.
How much will Kamara be involved tomorrow?

Wondering whether to start him on my FF team after a couple of other guys are listed as questionable.
Not sure about the World Cup because I didn't watch but the Olympics did not broadly ban Russian athletes. They disallowed the Russian team to participate and the national anthem would not be played.
So if LSU does not refer to itself as a Russian team and doesn't play the Russian national anthem we're cool, right?

re: NY Times article on LSU basketball - good summary of where we are

Sorry about that. Like I said, I was able to read the article the first time I accessed it and I don't have a subscription. Not sure how that happened unless it had something to do with the initial AI output.
This article was linked in an output provided by AI and I was able to access it at first but not now.
In short, it was a positive article about what Wade has been doing to construct a roster and how important it was that LSU landed Dent - "completing a sweep of UCLA's starting backcourt." Getting Dent was one of several different examples of how Wade "pushed the envelope" (but characterized in a positive way) to construct a roster.
The article mentioned that LSU is waiting, like many teams, on the status of its international recruits and its lawsuit to get RJ Luis eligible, a player drafted by the NBA and signed two NBA contracts but never played in a game. It mentioned LSU went straight for the lawsuit route because of the NCAA's precedent with Charles Bediako last season.

I saw a few Purple and Gold games in the early 70s. First real game was LSU v Rice in 1977. Carlos Carson caught several TD passes (maybe 5?) in that game. I think it was something 77-0 LSU.

So what are fans going to do if we don't make the playoffs? Agitate to fire Kiffin?
LSU lost the 2nd round game vs. Ga Tech because we were trading 2s for 3s. That team with Jackson, Shaq, and Roberts was weak guarding the perimeter and Ga Tech quit trying to go inside and just beat us with 3s.
That team beat Larry Johnson and champs UNLV in the regular season but dropped way too many games to average teams.
Jackson went pro (which was not common for sophomores back then) and Roberts did not make the grades to stay. We became one dimensional in Shaq's sophomore and junior seasons.

Picture of Luis in a Boston Celtics uniform. He played in the G-League. Did he ever play for the Boston Celtics?

This guy is a great pickup. 6'9" 250 Euroleague Stretch Forward who can shoot and finish strong around the basket.
I assume he'll start at the 4 position and that we've got a few other bigs in the bag that are the shot blockers and rebounders.
We only have three guys so far but they all appear to be solid.
Looking forward to more announcements.

A lot of strong finishes in that video, usually while drawing significant contact from an opposing big.
Nah, I like 52 for a DT. Shades of Randy White (54) with prime Cowboys.
Not a fan of zero, though.
Agree that 88 is nice for a TE.

I recall Georgia Tech had a 27 year old 6’11” center (Yvon Joseph?) back in the 80s who went toe to toe with Patrick Ewing in the tournament. However, exception rather than rule.
re: Just curious on thoughts regarding T.J. Hall, CB
Posted by Manswers on 4/29/26 at 2:17 pm to Mushroom1968
I saw that Matt Miller (ESPN) listed him in his top 100 best "picks, steals, fits":
88. TJ Hall, CB, New Orleans Saints (Pick 7-219)
My final overall ranking: No. 127
Along with the earlier wide receivers and tight ends, the Saints potentially stole a valuable cornerback in Round 7. Hall didn't test well at the combine (4.59 in the 40), but he'll be an option as a fourth corner who can play on the inside or outside of the formation. His technique and experience at the line of scrimmage give him a great chance to make the team.

2019 and 1986 were the two years I was thinking of. As an LSU and Celtics fan, that 1986 Celtics team may have been one of the best ever with Walton's last good year and Bird at his peak.

If we pair Jones and Stoudamire - now we have a core to build around.

Wow, so Claude thinks the Saints draft 3 EDGEs?
Gemini AI projected draft for the Saints

Curious to see how close this will be...
Based on the most recent mock drafts and big board rankings following the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine, here is a full 7-round simulated draft for the New Orleans Saints.
This simulation accounts for the Saints' recent free-agency signings (including Travis Etienne and David Edwards) and the emergence of Tyler Shough as the franchise quarterback.
New Orleans Saints 2026 Simulated Draft
1 No. 8Carnell Tate WR Ohio State
2 No. 42 Malachi Lawrence EDGE UCF
3 No. 73 Treydan Stukes CB Arizona
4 No. 132 Jager BurtonI OL Kentucky
4 No. 136 Kaytron Allen RB Penn State
5 No. 150 DeMonte Capehart DT Clemson
5 No. 172 Ar’Maj Reed-Adams OG Texas A&M
6 No. 190 Tacario Davis CB
Key Simulation Logic & Analysis
Round 1: Carnell Tate, WR (Ohio State)
While defensive ends like Rueben Bain Jr. were considered, the simulation prioritizes giving Tyler Shough a premier "Z" receiver. Tate is a refined route runner with some of the best hands in the class. Pairing him with fellow Buckeye Chris Olave creates a nightmare for NFC South secondaries and provides insurance if Olave's contract situation remains unresolved.
Round 2: Malachi Lawrence, EDGE (UCF)
With Cameron Jordan nearing the end of his career and Chase Young on a short-term outlook, the Saints need "juice" off the edge. Lawrence is a "toolsy" pass rusher who impressed scouts at the Combine with his first-step explosion and "deep bag" of pass-rush moves.
Round 3: Treydan Stukes, CB (Arizona)
The Saints have a history of value-hunting at defensive back. Stukes is a high-IQ "STAR" defender capable of playing the slot. He fills a critical depth need following the departure of several veteran secondary members over the last two seasons.
Round 4 & 5: Building the Trenches
Jager Burton (Kentucky): A versatile interior lineman who can provide depth at both guard spots and center.
DeMonte Capehart (Clemson): At 313 lbs, Capehart is a massive interior presence who can eat blocks and allow the Saints' linebackers (like the newly signed Kaden Elliss) to play clean.
Late Round Value: Kaytron Allen (RB) & Tacario Davis (CB)
Kaytron Allen: Even with Travis Etienne and Alvin Kamara on the roster, the Saints add a "bruiser" back who excels in short-yardage and goal-line situations.
Tacario Davis: A 6-foot-4 corner who fits the physical profile the Saints have traditionally coveted. He is a developmental project who could eventually transition to safety.
