@225couyon @Bouttesburner Yes and a handful of them will be back in the portal next year.

I’m not saying they need to pay up for five WRs, but they need to spend what it takes to land Easton Royal

[Will Rosenblatt @rozenwill]

LSU will lose some NIL battles for high school safties and defensive line this cycle because they already have high-paid young players at those positions. WR and OL is where the high school money should go this year.

[Will Rosenblatt @rozenwill]

@DrunkCoachBaker @225couyon They think LSU can win a bidding war for every single player. It’s like a professional sport. Some offseasons more money will be spent, others they’ll be more selective at other positions.

[Will Rosenblatt @rozenwill]

@alex_kirshner @Slate I don’t disagree, but they need a better way of counting votes. When it takes this long it only fuels conspiracy and other big states count at a much faster rate.

[Will Rosenblatt @rozenwill]

@LSUDAN67 They don’t want to spend 5 million on one left tackle every year. Go look at the top offensive lines. They’re rarely built through the portal.

[Will Rosenblatt @rozenwill]

OL is the hardest position to find in the portal

[Daniel @LSUDAN67]

@rozenwill OL is a terrible nil investment in high school. Takes too long to develop. Too much $ on the bench. Portal and in state should be focus

[Will Rosenblatt @rozenwill]

@225couyon Which part is wrong

[Will Rosenblatt @rozenwill]

No.

[T-I-G-E-R-S… 🐅!!!! @_lsu2017]

@rozenwill @hammerswithaK Should we panic about only having 4 commits for the 2027 class at this point ?

[Will Rosenblatt @rozenwill]

@hammerswithaK It’s more about how much money can be spent on each position to fill out a roster. They just paid up for three defensive tackles last year. They can’t afford to do that again this cycle.

[Will Rosenblatt @rozenwill]

@BlakeHHarris The reality is a few will be busts and a few will work out. It will sort itself out.

Transfer🚨Missouri freshman 2B Blaize Ward is entering the transfer portal. One of the best freshman bats in the sec all year long, hitting .296 with 4 HR and 33 RBI this season starting in 43 games. Should get a lot of attention

[Will Rosenblatt @rozenwill]

Another releiver that could end up on LSU's radar

[Andrew Riedell @RiedellAndrew]

Texas State RHP Wade Cooper is entering the portal, his advisor @Pchap_Kares tells me.

Cooper just finished his freshman season at Texas State and pitched to a 4.72 ERA with five saves in 66.2 IP with 73 K's.

[Will Rosenblatt @rozenwill]

@slitslam2016 @AndyStaples You're talking about LSU, the program notorius for throwing many at players in nearly every sport

[Will Rosenblatt @rozenwill]

And I like what LSU brings back in terms of starting pitching, but LSU needs more depth, especially with Moore coming off an injury and Cowan graduating.

[Will Rosenblatt @rozenwill]

No, LSU should be aggressive in signing top talent from the portal. LSU has a strong young core set to return, but they have a ton of spots to fill, don't have any proven players at 2B, SS, or 3B and losing the entire outfield.

[JorgeMilan @weatherjam13]

@rozenwill LSU should use the portal VERY sparingly this year

[Will Rosenblatt @rozenwill]

@lamzonlol Yeah he’s an option. My list were all guys lsu coaches recently followed

[Will Rosenblatt @rozenwill]

Would also monitor former Wofford OF Logan Tribble and North Florida's Matthew Farner IF Farner decides to enter the portal

[Will Rosenblatt @rozenwill]

LSU should be involved here

[aroundthehorn @_aroundthehorn_]

Transfer🚨Northwestern St freshman LHP Brody Trosclair is entering the transfer portal. This year he won Southland Conference Freshman of the Year and was named to All Conference First Team. One of the best arms in the portal.
