Recap Of QB1 Watch So Far:
1. Brendan Sorsby visited both Texas Tech & LSU, ultimately deciding to commit to Texas Tech.
2. Following that news, LSU lined up a visit for Sam Leavitt, which lasted from Sunday night until Tuesday night.
3. Sam Leavitt sat courtside with head coach Lane Kiffin & Whit Weeks at the men’s basketball game Tuesday night.
• Very shortly after that went public, a bombshell transfer portal announcement shook the country:
- Demond Williams Jr. (Ex-Washington QB) announced he was re-entering the portal.
- LSU was immediately linked as the frontrunner to pursue Williams Jr.
- The LSU coaching staff assembled immediately at the football ops facility late Tuesday night.



add to this list:

- Thursday morning: The National media loses its collective shite and Pat Forde bleeds out.

How can he visit if he’s not officially in the portal?
Well today should be 48 hours post his request to enter, so either Washington has to grant his request or they are breaking NCAA rules regarding the portal. He could also just withdraw from school if he has to.

QB1 Watch:
Demond Williams Jr. was heavily linked to LSU following his re-entry to the portal with a no contact tag Tuesday night.
- Williams Jr. was previously committed to Lane Kiffin when he coached at Ole Miss in 2022.
- He ultimately committed to Arizona out of high school & followed head coach Jedd Fisch to Washington when he was hired.


Demond is from Phoenix right? Who's to say that he's not looking to go back to Arizona? I know its highly unlikely, and the coach that recruited him is at Washington, but has there been any sauce that he's trying to go back home?

Obviously I want him at LSU, and I do think Kiffin is going after him, it just seems like the media is going to connect us to almost any QB at this point

All the LSU insiders basically said we have been trying to pull this off for a while. It's more than just baseless speculation

Most likely if UW doesn’t submit his portal paperwork he’ll unenroll from UW then he can visit any school he wants.

Where are all of theOL visits?? Are we continuing to wait until nobody’s left to even have a few visit? Yet we’ll continue to bring WR’s in daily.

Did gulkner visit? I believe he was scheduled to come in but instead committed to msu.

What sense does it make to commit without testing all the waters? Unless we rescinded the offer, which I doubt based on his tape… I was excited about this kid actually. Kinda sucks but I suppose we must move on

he's a heckuva lot more mobile than at least 4 of the olinemen that LSU released. At this point I doubt LSU will do any better than this guy.
