We are losing some good players from the team to the portal and missed out on QB to Tech. I know it's early, but is the neg press that Lane is getting and how they are labeling him, is this influencing players?

I wonder what the age demographic is of the "pearl clutches?"

Most on this board have been griping about how the media is going after Lane. Yet that has no influence on players or parents making decisions?
You're an idiot if you think that doesn't influence anything.
Look I'm fine with Lane and can't wait to see what he can do here, but I'm just acknowledging that maybe the media is influencing players to not stay at LSU.

Oh, you got me on the idiot part, child.

It's all about the money with the portal players. Do you think that perhaps we didn't match the offer or didn't care to spend that much money on a portal QB? LSU has quite a few holes to fill and the first year under Lane can easily be considered sort of a rebuild, on the offensive side.

Money is the influencer here.

I'm glad I don't wake up every morning and panic because LK hasn't filled the roster on day 4 of the portal being open.

Yeah, the negative media attention probably is influencing some very weak-minded players to not only avoid LSU, but to also transfer off LSU.

I'm good with that. We don't need cowards on next years team.

What’s influencing is that he’s a fun coach to play for, always has an exciting offense, and is a players coach. That and NIL money.

I would not be surprised if there is some seriously negative recruiting going on at the other schools highlighting the controversy surrounding Kiffin’s Ole Miss departure.

I’m sure Saban gave Lane the entire scoop about LSU. This would include the catastrophe syndrome of the loud vocal minority pussies that infest this board.

Were these same “good” players part of the 7-6 dumpster fire we just witnessed?

Either 16-19 with no clue how this business works or 40+ who still can’t fathom the idea of calling college football a “business”

A really good recruiter can likely use the negative press to his advantage and have success.

But just start winning, and turn out a few thousand yard WRs and RBs and all that mess stops.

Just win. Or show huge potential to win.
