Demond seems like a no brainer over Leavitt if given my choice. Idc how it happened, this is an upgrade

Haha right. He happened to name like all the top QBs and this one fell into his lap. Quite the luck after Lacy and Chambliss were coming.

No, this has supposedly been in the works.


Correct, DWjr was waiting on certain assurances before hopping back into the portal.

The bag has been secured.. MOVE IN MOVE IN!!!

There is no legal way they can force him to play at Washington. None.

They might get some money for damages, but this is it.

Sort of sounds like the way the philly guy posts, you know, being fluid and all that stuff.

Who knows... im sure it will come out today at some point.

Just my opinion on what probably happened...

I think Leavitt's camp received a call from Tennessee sometime Monday night/Tuesday morning and pleaded for them to take one more visit to Knoxville before signing with LSU. Leavitt weighed the options and notified LSU staff that they were considering making one more visit to Tennessee before making a final decision... Kiffin then got on the phone and called Demond Williams camp and sent an offer he could not refuse.

I doubt it has anything to do with the injury concern, his timetable on returning, Leavitt leveraging more money, or any other storyline.

Demond was committed to Kiffin in high school, but chose Fisch and Arizona St. When Fisch went to Washington, Kiffin tried to get him again, but he Demond decided to go with Fisch again.

What I'm telling you now is that what LSU/Miami or whomever did to pry him from Washington, they didn't hold back. Fisch wanted him to be the face of the program and team. They were planning to build the offense around his skillset.

In a perfect world, Williams stays 2 more years at Washington and maybe makes the playoffs in his 3rd season and him and Fisch are tight like rope.

However I think he comes to LSU, plays for 2 years, becomes the next Kyler Murray type player, get drafted first round, and our RS freshman Peyton Houston takes over.

If players and their "representatives" want to pit school vs school for the biggest bag and take multiple visits until they get the money they want regardless of the situation, then they need to expect the same loyalty in return.

Lane had Baby Russ

Uncertainty of eligibility & prolonged playoff run killed that

Agent talks ensued pre-portal which Lane admitted on TV

Demond was named as a top 5 target NY Day by Moscona

Resigns w/ Wash Jan 2, likely after LSU felt they'd get Sorsby

Sorsby chooses TTech

LSU clearly reached back out and upped the ante, along w/ bringing in Leavitt as a backup plan

Demond back in portal

Now you're caught up

Forced to play, how the hell could they do that? Why would a school but a leader in charge of a team at a place he doesn’t want to be. Who would want to follow someone not committed to the teams goals.

Only thing the school can hope for is a financial compensation or a change of heart by the player. Maybe they find another bag to help sell or seal the deal, maybe will more stipulations.

I image all contracts are being reviewed by all parties and many new lawyers.

A great day to be a lawyer. lol
