2026: Official Transfer Portal Topic

 
A comp for Demond Williams

Shorter JD5

I'd personally prefer him over any QB in the portal. But although we need 2 or 3, there's no way we land him AND Leavitt, unless we're pretty sure Leavitt won't be 100% in time.

Given the absence of QBs on the roster, I see us signing 2-3 QBs:
  • One elite starter type QB
  • Probably two "2-3 star(ish)" QBs as backup / insurance
As most QBs enter the portal to get more playing time / better opportunities, we might delay the announcement of signing the next LSU starter until some of the backups are in the fold.

Many of these players enter the portal hoping to be the next Trinidad Chambliss Cinderella story and who better to sell that than Lane Kiffin? It makes it harder to do that for the lower graded tier of QBs if you already have a Leavitt, Williams, or Raiola announced as the presumptive starter for LSU.

I think a similar thing happened when Walker Howard transferred to Ole Miss only to be backup to Jaxson Dart.

We definitely brought in receiver targets for these guys.
 
This DL haul on top of the 4 HS signees?? Good grief

Much like our recruiting class, we are hauling in TOP players. Currently, LSU has the 3rd ranked portal class on 247Sports. Look at the number of players signed by other schools compared to LSU.

Penn State basically has Iowa State's entire team following Matt Campbell (if one Ole Miss player transfers to LSU watch the press howl about tampering...lol).

Penn State and Okie State currently have 27 and 33 players from the portal respectively and are currently ranked 1 & 2. LSU has 14 players and is ranked #3. LOL.
 
Yeah the media smearing lsu and lane for tampering??

1. Look at Penn State lol. Campbell didn't tamper? Damn near all available starters went with him to Penn State
 
It's not like he won't make bank in the NFL next year.
i don’t know his draft grade, but there had to be a reason he was even seeking the waiver.

if he thought he was going top couple rounds, then no need to even ask for the waiver
