The post by Draconian Sanctions was easily my favorite of the first group on this topic.

But I would hope soon we could move on past the Woodward threads.

I think it definitely is.

Again, as others said before, he has the appropriate last name for a strength coach--Savage!

I like the OP phrase "slim pickings in the transfer portal."

That's clever.
I don't think the OP honestly believes that. I think he's just trying to stir things up.

Everyone knows it's ridiculous to allege this, with Kiffin only on the job a few weeks, players declaring for the portal and before any schools have even begun spring practices.
This type of thing has happened for many teams. One good example is Scott May of Indiana going down with an injury the year before virtually the same team went undefeated with a healthy Scott May to go with Quinn Buckner, Kent Benson and the others.
Should not give up until Leavitt decides for sure.

It's good that LSU appears to have a shot to sign him.
Yes, Indiana is an extremely well coached team.

It seems like many college football followers in general have pretty short memories. This argument that the most recent one is one we hear a lot when trying to claim this player is better than that one.
Football= Oregon and Wisconsin

Men's Basketball = Houston and Gonzaga
Rudy Niswanger was also an excellent starting OL from Louisiana on some excellent LSU teams.

You're right about Jacob Hester.

Isn't there an older interview in which he claimed to be a two star recruit?

But to the best of my recollection, he was a three star recruit.

It seems to me like most of the time, those recruits who really want to play for LSU first and foremost are the ones who help the program the most.

But on the overall point: I have heard and read more than once that a majority of NFL players were three stars in high school.
Certainly. It doesn't help LSU recruiting for other SEC teams to win college playoff games and advance far.
I realize that for many on Tiger Droppings, women's basketball is not a high priority, despite LSU's solid tradition, especially its national title a few years ago.

However, this is a significant story, which will obviously become more significant if that 7-1 post becomes eligible.

Texas Tech is a vastly improved program anyway from last season, at 17-0 after last night's victory at West Virginia.
I was wondering if I missed an earlier post about this topic, as I am a "Johnny Come Lately" sometime.

As reported in the Midland Reporter-Telegram on January 6, 2026, "Stephanie Okechukwu, a 7-foot-1 freshman who joined the team Friday, sat on the Texas Tech bench."

She awaits an NCAA ruling about her eligibility. She would be the tallest player in the history of women's college basketball."

Billy Truax was a great Tiger and a solid NFL tight end as well.
So is Miami deemed the lesser of two evils?

But I am rooting for the Hurricanes tonight.
I believe those who are really well informed now that Kiffin did not quit on his team.

I hope it has not negatively affected LSU, and perhaps we'll see what happens in a few months when we get a good look at how the transfer portal players look and down the road, if they can work effectively as a team.
Vince was sensational and that was great.

For the older fans, the 1969 game as Texas edged Arkansas, 15-14, in a huge game between two outstanding teams was also one of their greatest.

That was actually a late regular season showdown between two top 5 ranked teams.
This is sad. I just checked in to see how the Tiger cagers are doing and it sounds like sadly, more of the same.

Expectations are not good.
Not a surprise.

A highly regarded player who did not meet his potential.
So based on the responses of this thread, I am not sure exactly how tall Chambliss really is.

Hope he sticks with the Tigers.
