December 5Dec 5 Agree with the consensus that we were taking a flier on Henry and now can spend our resources on a proven portal WR and/or other positions of need like IOL. Edited December 5Dec 5 by Sal

December 5Dec 5 We ran up bid! What a win! I'm sure Ohio State or Oregon are definitely hurting for money to spend on recruiting and transfer portal now that we did that!

No, he didn’t. Everything that’s gone on the last two days seems like last minute negotiations mixed with drama manufactured by the 9.95ers.

It would've been a bit bizarre if he chose us. It doesnt hurt a single thing to have our hat on the table in a super public announcement. If nothing else it's a signal to other recruits that we are still currently dropping big money.

I don't disagree, but I also don't see the harm in Texas throwing their hat in the ring and being mentioned a team vying for that kind of talent. Also, it tweaks the fuck out of some of the dipshits on this board, and that is its own reward.

I do think it’s funny (tragic?) to see people get their hopes up so much for what should’ve been seen as an incredible longshot.

It's not even a 1-cut running style, it's like 0-cut. He does have good size, decent straight line speed, and doesn't mind contact. I suppose he's a guy that's happy to come to Texas, play school, get 30 carries a year trucking defenders from SHSU, and be a motherfucker on special teams. Another Kyle Porter (Katy) incoming

And most of the of the rumors in that thread comes from a lunatic starving for attention. Well, that's half the football board. I was gonna ask you to be more specific but fuck it, I don't care. That thread was/is embarrassing.

There are still some moving pieces with the LSU defensive staff that could make guys like Lamar Brown and Anderson potentially gettable. Doesn't really matter if they signed with LSU or not; that shit is purely symbolic now. Hopefully their agents are smart enough to have them holding off on any shady contracts until they see who the staff replacements are going to be. For those that missed it last night there was a report LSU is trying to hire Elijah Robinson (Syracuse DC demoted back to DL coach who used to be the Aggie's DL coach). This is notable because their current DL coach, Kyle Williams, is an absolute badass and the entire reason that Lamar Brown and Anderson have seemingly decided to stick with LSU for now. The fact they are looking at Robinson suggests Williams will be following their DC (Baker) when/if he gets announced as the next Tulane head coach today. Obviously this is whole lot of "ifs" but we could see a situation where LSU loses Williams and fails to hire Robinson. That happens and we should be in as good a position as anyone to try and snipe their two five star DTs. Of course its also possible they aren't losing Williams and want to add Robinson in a different role as well. Edited December 5Dec 5 by HateYouAndMyself

December 5Dec 5 I guess Lamar Brown and Geralds locked in with LSU and shut things down a bit ago. Anderson also now telling people he is happy with his decision. Oh well.

December 6Dec 6 I’m not sure why LSU brass thought it was a good idea to boast about their NIL war chest as an appeal to Kiffin. Those kids did right by renegotiating.

December 6Dec 6 Getting upset and blaming coaches for no surprises is a thing I guess. We’ll have a team ready to compete for a title next year like every year. LFG

LFG I don’t have an expectation at the end of the day on signing day that there is more coming. It’s when the coach and recruiting coordinator say publicly that “we’re not done yet” that puts such an expectation out there and annoys me when they don’t follow through. Just don’t say anything beyond how happy you are with the guys you signed.

Among all the annoying shit that Sark does, saying “we aren’t done” after the first signing day, even if we are done, is very low on the list of grievances I have with this staff. They have to say that shit.
