2026: Official Transfer Portal Topic
- Thread starter Herb
- Start date
I am glad we did so well in the portal and I will pull for the Tigers. But, it is not like the old days where we had recruiting battles not based on money alone. Kids came to LSU (or anywhere else) because they wanted to be there, liked the scheme, liked the coaches, liked their teammates. They we watched them develop from being in a game sometimes to be a starter, to be a star player. You had a connection to the players after you watched them for 3 or 4 years. As we had a strong contingent, the core of the team really, from La., they were "ours".
Some of that connection no longer exists. I don't think it will come back.

Agree, but some saving grace.
I DO think these players "liked the coaches" and if course the presumed style of play under Lane and Charlie Jr. Baker attracts guys and Corey Raymond damn sure does.
Plus, as we mentioned in the last podcast, a bunch of these guys are 2-3 year possibilities, unlike last year's primarily one and done transfers.
There is no doubt that the landscape of college football has shifted. There were good and noble aspects about the old system, but there were also a lot of inequities and abuses of that system as well.
The current landscape has shifted as the result of court mandates. Some of this is good but some of this is bad as well.
Gravity will force the pendulum to eventually swing in the middle.
We're in the period of a lot of reactionary momentum and I look forward to the day where all this normalizes out.
LSU makes a late addition from the transfer portal by beating other SEC teams
LSU football and Lane Kiffin added a commitment from junior college offensive tackle Adrian Lamb. The Tigers beat Alabama, Auburn and South Carolina for Lamb, who transferred from Georgia Military College.
