re: The weak spot in LSU’s batting lineup.

Putting standfield back in will weaken a little. He's not a consistent hitter we have better hitters that can play left fiel
It’s a very small sample size so far. Wasn’t Stanfield our leading hitter against SEC pitching last year? When you add in his speed and fielding ability, I think his starting spot is very secure. It’s a nice problem to have, Simpson probably has more pop in his bat.
I think once Stanfield is fully recovered, Simpson’s primary role will be DH.

I’m not. We need to compensate for not having that this year.
Johnson has always had a top 5 pick as his Friday ace when he’s won National championships. He doesn’t this year, so the lineup needs to make up for it.
Thats a fair take after the first seven games. Our hitters have greatly outperformed our pitchers and it’s natural to wonder if LSU is a team that will have to average 7 or 8 runs a game.
It’s early, though, and I would bet things tend to equalize more over time. It’s hard to see LSU staying this hot at the plate for the whole season. We have six hitters over .400 and 11 over .300. That will change a lot.
On the other hand, there is a ton of talent among the pitching staff. I think one reason our pitchers are struggling is the pressure of trying to find a spot in the rotation. The cream will rise to the top.
But no doubt, this might be a team that has to rely more on hitting than prior teams with Skenes, Anderson or Eyason. One strength of our pitching could be Guidry if he turns into an ace reliever. A true ace reliever can save a lot of close games.
The weak spot in LSU’s batting lineup.
Posted by paper tiger on 2/21/26 at 6:48 pm
If anyone finds it, let me know. Our consensus first team all American Curiel has the lowest batting average, but everyone knows that will change. We lose for a few games one of the best SEC outfielders, Stanfield, and his replacement, Simpson, is only hitting .429. Reeves, the rant whipping boy who is not even starting now, is hitting .333. When Stanfield comes back, options at DH include Simpson, Braun, Pearson Rucker and Serna.
Yeah, yeah yeah, it’s early and the competition is inferior. But still, in most years LSU has had at least one or two starters who you felt like were almost automatic outs. There is just no let up for opposing pitchers in the LSU lineup this year, at least so far. And exit speeds do not lie, the ball is just popping off LSU bats.
The hardest part of Jay Johnson’s job has to be filling out his lineup up card and leaving players on the bench who have played well given the opportunity. From a batting standpoint, this is a super deep team. There is like no player that comes to bat that makes you cringe.

How many points does an eligible Chambliss move the spread?
Posted by paper tiger on 2/5/26 at 6:41 pm
LSU plays Ole Miss in Oxford in September. No coach moves the media needle anymore than Kiffin. With all the drama surrounding Kiffin leaving the rebels, everyone will be watching. It will be a prime time game.
That makes the ncaa decision of whether Chambliss gets another season a huge decision with potential playoff implications. Chambliss is their Burrow. How good would LSU have been without Burrow?
It’s kinda win/win for me, I guess. The game gets way more exciting to watch if Chambliss is playing and LSU gets more credit for beating Ole Miss with their star qb playing. If he gets eligible, so be it. Sounds fun to watch to me.
If Chambliss is not eligible, I’m cool with that too. I don’t care how the ncaa rules, its not my circus, not my monkeys. If Ole Miss loses Chambliss, LSU chances go up, so be it. Ole Miss should have planned better.
I think given how good Chambliss is combined with his familiarity with the offense, that he makes as much as a 6 to 7 point move in the spread.
Too many points? Too few? Stupid topic? I was just trying to make the point that the decision on Chambliss’s eligibility is of great relevance to LSU.
I think Chambliss has near zero chance with the ncaa now, they are not budging. I did read somewhere that an ncaa decision might be appealable to the Mississippi Supreme Court. As a general rule, one’s chances of getting a Supreme Court of any state to overturn an administrative decision are very low.
But this is not a general rule. You could have the elected Supreme Court of Mississippi ruling on the eligibility of a star Ole Miss player. That could even the playing field if it’s true that Ole Miss will have some right to appeal to the Miss Supreme Court.

It does fell like we should have won more for sure. But it’s not like we have wasted anymore NFL talent than anyone else has. LSU has three national championships since 2003. Only Bama has more.
Texas A&M has been loaded with athletes for years with no championships in that timeframe. Talk about wasting talent. It’s hard to win championships.
re: One good sign from Tennessee and Miami still hot after Leavitt

LSU team doctor was on with Hester and Flynn last week. Said that’s not always the case. Portal stuff moves so fast they don’t always have enough time to thoroughly review or might not get hippa authorization. They basically do the best they can with the info available.
Well yes, I doubt they do the same due diligence on a guy like Roman Mothershed that they do on a multimillion dollar player. In this case, I think it near 100 % that LSU, Tennessee and Miami had their doctors review his records. Hippa is unlikely an issue. Leavitt and his brother probably have a full set of operating reports, imaging studies and progress notes to hand out on their road show.
Anybody paying over five mil to a college kid coming off a lis franc injury without investigating his medical prognosis and situation would have to be pretty dumb to me.
Thats why I am thinking it’s good that Miami and Tennessee are not spooked by the injury. As for the doctor you said was on Hester and Flynn, I bet he would say he does a lot more vetting of the high profile player with an injury history than the average Joe.
You dont think Tennessee, Miami and LSU all didnt do a deep dive on his medical situation before offering millions?
One good sign from Tennessee and Miami still hot after Leavitt
Posted by paper tiger on 1/12/26 at 4:20 pm
With players getting 5 million plus in come cases, college football is a business more than ever. Its very likely LSU, Tennessee, Miami and other top programs now have attys drafting player contracts.
One has to assume due diligence is involved whenever one is spending millions. Due diligence can take many forms, like doing a background check or interviewing past coaches for discipline and character issue.
With a guy like Leavitt, I would think that due diligence extends to his medical situation. I am no nil expert, but part of my due diligence would be to have Leavitt copies of his medical records relating to his surgery and then have a orthopedist of my choosing review the records, at a minimum, if not see Leavitt.
That's all a long way of saying, I think its a safe bet that LSU, Tennessee and Miami have all done some sort of due diligence on the lis franc injury and have concluded that the surgery was successful and that his recovery is on track.
Of course there are no guarantees. But his issue with lis franc is well known. The fact Tennessee is so hard after Leavitt likely means that whoever is their medical advisor must have done some due diligence and concluded Leavitt appears to be on schedulr with his recovery. I would hope and expect LSU has done their due diligence too.

I think as many d-lineman that LSU has, they are still hunting a premiere edge guy to get after the qb. LSU is still hosting d-linemen, so that tells you they are not done there yet. And there are still some big stud d-linemen in the portal, including some good ones from Bama.

We should get 50 receivers. The naysayers will say 50 is too many but will be nowhere to be found if 48 of them get hurt.
One thing is evident. Kiffin puts a premium on big play receivers, his five last gets at wr must average 20 yds a catch.

re: The idea that we need 3 scholarship QBs
Posted by paper tiger on 1/10/26 at 9:50 am to DBG
There’s no way LSU starts its season with less than three qbs. There are almost 200 qbs in the portal. Only an handful will be starters at major programs like LSU.
You need a starter like Leavitt.
Then you need a back up with playing experience who, for the right money, is willing to be an ankle sprain away from being the starter at LSU. Thats probably how they see Landon Clark.
Then you need at least one developmental qb who, for the right money, will run the scout team and compete for the number 2 spot.
The portal is literally loaded with all sorts of qbs who are not going to be starters. There is about zero chance LSU goes into the season with only 2 QBs.
The notion you are screwed if you are playing your 3rd qb is flawed. Yes, you are in trouble if you get to your third qb, But if the starting qb is out with the flu and the backup sprains an ankle, there could be games where the third string guy gets you through until the guys in front of him heal.
Finally, the notion we cant afford three portal qbs is flawed too. A lower ranked qb in the portal could cost way less than a top high school qb recruit. LSU should have no problem getting a third qb from the back of the portal or juco at a reasonable cost.

The 12 team playoff system for college football has been great theater
Posted by paper tiger on 1/9/26 at 8:33 pm
It was not that long ago when a 12 team playoff system for college football sounded like a pipe dream. This year has been great with so much to watch. Yes, there were a couple teams that did not belong and that needs to be tweaked. But overall, this playoff season has been very compelling.
I keep waiting for Indiana to be Indiana, but they look Los for real. How is it even possible they would be better than Ohio State? The Miami Ole Miss game was great fun to watch, as was Ole Miss and Georgia.
I get the SEC pride thing and all, but watching Indiana destroy Bama was also awesome.
Its looking like an Indiana/Miami final. Give me Indiana. Those guys have a special season going. Not as good as the 2019 LSU team, but they dont look like a fluke at all.
In any event, the 12 team playoff system made college football better. Now they just have to figure out how to put the best 12 teams in. Did anybody really think Tulane was better than Texas?
The 12 team playoff is off to a great start. Put the best teams n next year though. Ole Miss beat Tulane 41-10. I am no Texas fan, but tell the truth. How much more likely have you watched a college football playoff game between texas and Ole Miss instead of Ole Miss and Tulane, no offense to Tulane, just keeping it real.

LSU is up to four in team portal transfer rankings per 247
Posted by paper tiger on 1/7/26 at 9:51 pm
Kiffin and his staff, despite all the media naysayers and homegrown chicken littles, are quietly and steadily putting together a top portal transfer team.
Penn State is number 1 with 24 commits, OK State number 2 with 26 commits and TT third with 13 commits. Speaking to the quality class LSU is putting together, LSU ranks number 4 with only ten commits.
LSU might end up being closer to 30 transfer commits than 20 and some of their big dominoes are yet to fall.
I hope the media and guys like Glen Guilbeau, who are mocking Kiffin for his portal king nickname, will have the balls to write stories admitting they were wrong when LSU ends up with a top five or better portal class.
Five of the top ten portal qbs are still available. Your have to believe Kiffin passed on Austin Simmons for a reason. he thinks he can do better. There are lots of offensive lineman left in the portal who are ranked higher than some of the LSU lineman who entered the portal.
I particularly like the emphasis on getting big play wr’s in the portal. The defense looks stout. It’s about a 1000 percent that whoever Kiffin gets, his offense will be light years better than the last two seasons for LSU.
QB is the key. The whole mood changes if LSU gets Demond Williams. LSU, Kiffin and Weis are the prefect fit for him. And I think people underestimate how good DJ Lagway or Deuce Knight could be in a Kiffin offense. Would Chambliss be climbing draft boards but for Kiffin?

Friday morning could be rough for webel fans if Ole Miss loses. They’ll wake up with a hangover, a see ya later from of their offensive staff and a brutal plundering of their roster led by their former beloved head coach.
It’s been a hard last month for LSU fans watching so many unexpected players declare for the portal. But at least our pain has been spread over a few weeks. If Ole Miss loses tonight, the exodus of players to the portal will look like the abandon ship scene from Titanic.
Auburn lost their coach and saw 27 players go to the portal. Florida fired their coach and lost 25 to the portal. Imagine what it would be like to wake up with a hangover, with Pete Golding as your head coach and lose 25 or more players in one day and see LSU scoop the cream of the crop? And your hot toddy girlfriend is still passed out in her dress with pink puke on it from too many Pat O’Brien hurricanes. Yikes.

For those worried that LSU can not get two qbs out of the portal
Posted by paper tiger on 12/31/25 at 9:55 am
LSU is in the never seen before crazy situation where they basically have one qb on their depth chart, Van Buren, and zero qbs in their recent recruiting class. How is that even possible? How do you get 2 qbs in the portal when the assumption is kids go the portal for playing time? Would another portal qb even come to LSU iif LSU gets a Sorsby, Leavit or Lagway in the portal?
Not to worry. A blindfolded monkey could throw a dart in the forum and hit a qb. 247 currently lists a whopping 93 QBs in the portal, most of which are not going to go start at a major school. TJ Finley, who is thought to have a condo in the portal, is the number 53 qb in the portal. So there are 40 qbs in the portal not as good as Finley? Lol.
The portal is not just about playing time anymore, it’s $$$$$ too. Kiffin found Chambliss who was willing to sit behind Simmons last year. There are elite college qbs in the portal looking for a place to start, no doubt, and LSU will get one of the elevate qbs, no doubt. There are quality developmental qbs in the portal too who are willing to go an LSU for the right price to sit behind a starter.
A quality back up qb at LSU can probably make more than a starter at some small colleges and, if the guy in front of him at LSU turns an ankle, can suddenly be on prime time tv starting for LSU.
The portal is teeming with players at every position. Kiffin has proven he can build a contender through the portal at schools with lunch less resources than LSU. There’s gonna be more “booms” on this site in January than all of last year.

I hope LSU can keep JuJuan Johnson
Posted by paper tiger on 12/27/25 at 11:18 pm
LSU is thin at rb and amazingly thin at qb. LSU needs at least two more qbs assuming Van Buren stays. Getting two quality qbs out of the portal could cost a fortune. I think it’s fair to assume LSU will bring in one of the top 5 qbs in the portal with the expectation they will start over Van Buren. Players like Leavit, Sorsby or Lagway are not coming to LSU to sit behind anyone. What other good portal qb is willing to have to compete with Van Buren for the number two spot?
Johnson is the type versatile athlete that could flourish under Kiffin while giving LSU a decent emergency option as a third qb and provide quality depth at running back. I have seen people on here derogatively compare Johnson to Russel Shepard. I think Johnson is more physical than Shepard, but in any event, being compared to Shepard is not a bad thing. Shepard played seven seasons in the NFL.
All that said, If LSU can get and afford two quality qbs in the portal without chasing Van Buren away and afford another top running back without chasing Durham or Berry away, Johnson is certainly expendable. But you can’t build a championship team without quality depth.
I assume its all a money thing these days and that if Johnson does leave, it will free up whatever NIL money they have allocated to Johnson.
