Thats without 3 transfers still not accounted for in their system


The JUCO transfer is listed under the current recruit section (2026 Recruits) and not the transfer section of 247 and On3 rankings (see link below). So only 2 transfers not accounted for in the rankings. However, 247 does not have the 2026 CB from Florida that recently committed to LSU.

Jones is listed under "Hard Commits"

People can technically pop up over the weekend since schools have 48 hours to enter once someone says they want to go in. They can let them know today and school doesnt have to have the paperwork done until Sunday


Is it two days or two business days for that 48 hour period?

Also there will be a window from January 20 - 24 (plus that aforementioned 48 hr period) for the players from the U and Indiana to enter the portal.

Alum Mark Cuban is writing checks and I'm sure others are also.

Where did you get this list? Can the veracity of this list be verified? Or is it some pundit's guesstimation of NIL spending?
1. DL (value a savage defense foremost and that starts up front.)
2. OL (an offense will only go as far as the OL can take it)
3. QB
4. DB
5. WR/TE
6. LB
7. RB

Which QB are you most excited to see?


I am excited to see all three of the new QBs. Hopefully all three get to see action early in the season as we blow teams out of Tiger Stadium.

Very myopic point of view. Very few people may overdose or have an adverse reaction due to ingesting weed, but a whole lot of people have died due to weed.

No such thing anymore. 105 roster limit with 105 scholarships available.

It’s funny that they haven’t figured out how to get the two o-line players on there. They may be still searching the database to find them.


The OL from JUCO is listed in LSU's commitment list on current year's signing/commitment list on both 247 and On3 and not the Transfer Portal list.

247 2026 LSU Commitment/Signing

On3 2026 LSU Commitment/Signing/Transfer page
Notice they did not mention 2020 Bama, which was the pundits' previous offensive comparison to the 2019 LSU offense. Cross that one off the list.

Got to drive the ratings.

Yep. Took a step down the ladder every time he transferred.

Did the same at LSU….

Seems like he’s just trying to get everything free he can


Or could he be buying time to get a Miami and/or Oregon and/or Ole Miss visit lined up at a more opportune time. Kid is definitely shopping.

Got it. When’s the last time we had two punters on the roster? Lol


Payton Todd and the punter from ND (Bramlett) that came with BK in 2022 and 2023 (both on scholarship)

Payton Todd and Blake Ochsendorf in 2024 (both on scholarship)

Truthfully, every season there are multiple punters on the roster, just in most season only one is on scholarship and the others are walk-ons. You know, just in case.

I wanted to mention that UNC true freshman QB transfer Bryce Baker was once committed to LSU. Might see him get a look for depth/development.


Baker was never committed to LSU. LSU went after Baker after Bryce Underwood decommitted, but Baker stuck to his UNC commitment after meeting with the recently hired Bill Belichick.

The one and only HS QB commit that LSU had last year was Underwood until he flipped to Michigan.

Depends on how stringent they are. The big issue with a clearinghouse approach is how can any school in good conscience promise money to player if they don't know what if any will be approved by the clearinghouse?

Seems like schools will just lie upfront and if it gets denied, they can say "oh well, it's out of our hands".


Rule #1: Do not conflate Revenue Sharing with NIL, two separate beasts..
Rule #2: Revenue share offered to players by the athletic department is not subject to the clearinghouse oversight, but limited by an aggregate cap per the House settlement.
Rule #3: Aggregate revenue share is a known amount by the powers that be and will be allocated accordingly.
Rule #4: The powers that be have a good understanding of what NIL deals are available to offer in any particular circumstance.

Not allowed to visit campuses until Monday, so that Sorsby information is inaccurate.


This is incorrect information and utter bull crap: The only face to face contact coaches can have from the opening of the portal (today) through the 5th is on campus, which is allowed for mid year transferring players.

Directly from the NCAA recruiting calendar

December 22, 2025 – January 4, 2026: Dead period

Except: January 1–5, 2025: Quiet period for two- and four-year college transfer prospective student-athletes who intend to enroll midyear.

Quiet Period Defined:

The NCAA defines the quiet period as a time when “a college coach may not have face-to-face contact with college-bound student-athletes or their parents off the college campus and may not watch student-athletes compete or visit their high school.” To break it down, the NCAA Quiet Period is a time you can talk to college coaches in-person on their college campus. However, the coach is not allowed to watch athletes compete in-person, visit their school, talk to them at their home—or talk to them anywhere outside of the college campus.

and then maybe Hallcey. He was the best we have had in a while though. Hope that changes quickly!


Liffort Hobley, Jeffery Dale, Chris Carrier, and Johnny Robinson need to find a place on this list.
quote:

Moss should be able to qualify for a medical redshirt if he wants to. He missed most of this season I think but you are right...technically he is a senior.


Moss has played in a minimum of 6 games in all four of his years at aTm, never had a season ending injury in the first part of the season that precluded him from playing later in the season.

In short:

To get a medical redshirt (hardship waiver) in NCAA sports, an injury/illness must be season-ending and happen in the first half of the season, with strict limits on competition (usually < 30% of games/dates) before the injury, requiring extensive medical documentation from a qualified professional, and approval from the university's athletic department. The athlete must not have returned to play after the injury; otherwise, they don't qualify.
