Today has me excited. Already had it typed up, figured might as well.
Posted on 1/6/26 at 12:04 am to iPad
Happy youre excited and I feel good about Chaz Coleman. If he was going to do it then I think he wouldve already done it and that makes me think were either in a bidding war we wont lose or we got him. Regardless I feel good about it but I could wind up being wrong.

Pretty sure his Ohio State visit continues tomorrow. I’m a bit nervous for a post of him in OSU gear.
We will see tomorrow. Regardless, I’ve had a lot of fun tracking this whirlwind and introducing myself to you all on the biggest of stages.

Excellent update IPOD. I hope we outbid Chaz from Ohio State, he seems like a huge difference maker for us. You got to choose your spots.

Are we sure no offensive lineman were at LSU today?
Also, Jayce Brown - heard on podcast this evening he was at LSU today.
LSU needs to land Ty Benefield - kid can lay the wood.

Totally agree. Pull the trigger here and make a statement. Same could be said for Leavitt.
Sign both? Nation takes notice. Shuts people up. I’d like that.

I find it odd that we're signing HB,WR and TE without a QB or OL. Not odd that the staff is getting them, but that people are actually signing. I fully expect that we're gonna fill those spots, but it must be weird signing on to play for a team when you have no idea who's gonna be the signal caller, and you have no idea what the OL is gonna look like.

Haven’t heard anything but will update tracker if you can provide podcast link. Thanks. Hope you’re right by the way, Jayce Brown looks like a stud. I’d be happy with Tre Wilson too.

Really hoping so. I was impressed with his tape.
Posted on 1/6/26 at 12:17 am to iPad
Well that makes me feel worse, but we will see I guess, I have a feeling we will get into a bidding war if needed. Hopefully we go after that OT from NC State and go after some of these other o-lineman and another good RB like Carter or the guy from Jacksonville State.

Do we want Benefield and Perich ?

Personally I want Perich. Dude is an absolute stud, no offense to Benefield who is an a stud but Perich can be the punt returner too. Cooper Dejean style of player

Want both, prefer Perich.
I have a massive portal crush on Perich. He’s an X-factor on defense.

Leavitt and family were blown away! Great news!
