TX, FL and GA have a large number of blue-chip players in those states so that's not surprising.

Mighty Pilots.Home of the greatest run in college baseball for a 4 yr college. :cheers:

From an accomplishment standpoint, yes. If I had to choose an LSU figure that is the most transformational or cannot be reproduced, it's Maravich. No other player had or has the skill that the Pistol did. There will never be anyone to replicate him.

Agreed. 3 is much smoother on a cornerback compared to 5

Pickett asked for the number because his dad wore it and he's worn it since he was a little kid.

So you retire his number and build the statue immediately...just to make the point.

The crazy thing is it could really happen. Leavitt has a shot to lead LSU to a NC. It would take a lot of variables to fall in place, but it's not out of the realm of possibilities. And if he does and has solid numbers, he would certainly be in the running for a Heisman.

Jayden Daniels personally reached out to LSU leadership before fall camp began to express his displeasure with the decision to allow sophomore cornerback DJ Pickett to wear his No. 5.

---

quote:

---

Daniels’s camp also requested LSU return its copy of the Heisman Trophy Daniels won in 2023, sources confirmed. LSU has no intention of doing so and is undecided to what degree it will comply with the cease and desist, noting it is not a legally binding document.

LSU coach Lane Kiffin has also spoken with Daniels directly, sources confirmed.

quote:

---

When Pickett was negotiating his contract to return to LSU, money was not the source of the negotiation, but rather the jersey number, LSU sources confirmed.

LSU honors players by retiring their jersey but keeping the number in circulation. One source called retiring numbers a “antiquated policy” noting that NFL teams are moving to a ring of honor instead.

Damn, Jayden. You're burning the bridges on the bayou.

Remove any mention of him at the athletic facility, no pictures, no quotes or stats and no honoring his accomplishments.

He wants to be removed, LSU should scrub him from any official representation on campus.

This is all nonsense. JD had a monster season at LSU, won a Heisman, high draft pick and multi-millionaire. LSU has done nothing but praise his accomplishments here. To get bent over a number is such a childish and selfish move. To issue a cease and desist is a punk move.

Maybe the Az St players were right about him. LSU pulled him out of obscurity and gave him the training and resources to be great.

Go back and watch Burrow and Daniels' Heisman acceptance speeches. Then tell me which one shows gratitude.

Hopefully Trey Wilson is healthy now. He and Watkins are similar in ability.

Skill wise I’d comp him to Jaxon Dart. Dart’s last season at OM he threw for 4k+ yards 29 TDs and 6 Ints. He also ran for 500 and 3 TDs
