Lane Kiffin is running a absolute masterclass in Baton Rouge and the rest of the SEC is completely helpless. The "Summer of Lane" just weaponized the LSU secondary with two massive blue-chip defensive back pickups in a five-day span.
First, Kiffin went into Texas on July 2nd and flipped 4-star safety Karnell "Greedy" James—the No. 5 rated safety in the country—right out from under Steve Sarkisian's nose. Then on July 7th, he slammed the door on his old school, locking down 4-star safety Jayden Anding (5'10", 170 lbs), the No. 1 safety in Louisiana, choosing Death Valley over Ole Miss.
That brings LSU's 2027 class to 16 hard commitments—with an insane 12 of them dropping since June alone—skyrocketing the Tigers into the national Top 10. Kiffin isn't just recruiting the Boot; he's raiding everyone else's backyard and taking exactly what he wants. Have fun dealing with this machine for the next decade. 🐅

I know national media doesn’t like Lsu! But I guess recruiting services don’t like Lsu as well!

This would be a shocker! I believe Auburn is more talented and has more depth on the roster. This will come down to coaching. Who’s the better coach!

I think that’s the best way to go on your visits. Build a relationship. See where you fit in. And then talk money. That way money is not the source of your commitment.

🏀 NBA Update: What is Going On With the New Orleans Pelicans?
If you feel like the New Orleans Pelicans' offseason has been a rollercoaster of frustration and quiet confusion, you’re not alone. Between a brand new head coach, major roster structural issues, and Las Vegas Summer League action, there is a lot happening behind the scenes.
Here is the breakdown of the latest news, rumors, and panic points in New Orleans.
🎬 The New Era: Jamahl Mosley Takes Over
The biggest official change in New Orleans is at the top. Following the dismissal of Willie Green, the Pelicans hired former Orlando Magic head coach Jamahl Mosley to a 5-year deal. Mosley comes in with a reputation for maximizing young talent and preaching playoff-level defensive grit. However, analysts are already questioning if front-office executive Joe Dumars is giving Mosley a flawed roster that is set up to struggle in a hyper-competitive Western Conference.
🛑 The Center Crisis: "Asleep at the Wheel" in Free Agency?
The loudest complaint from Pelicans fans right now is the team's complete lack of a starting caliber traditional center.
The Frustration: New Orleans sat back and watched as almost every rotation-caliber big man signed elsewhere in free agency. They even let a potential reunion with Jonas Valanciunas slip by.
The Backup Plan (or lack thereof): Their primary frontcourt signing was bringing back veteran DeAndre Jordan. While praised for his locker room presence and impact off the court, it has left fans scratching their heads regarding how the actual center rotation will function on game nights.
The Experiment: If Joe Dumars doesn't pull off a late-summer trade for a rim protector (rumors are swirling around potential targets like Myles Turner or Jarrett Allen), the Pelicans might be forced into a painful starting experiment pairing Zion Williamson and young big man Derik Queen in the frontcourt.
🔮 The Rumor Mill: Rebuild vs. Run it Back?
The Zion Evolution: On a positive note, reports indicate Zion Williamson is focusing his offseason training on becoming a true "three-level scorer" to expand his offensive game.
The Trade Whispers: Trade rumors involving Trey Murphy III have continuously stalled out and hit a wall. League insiders suggest that if the Pelicans do decide to pivot and trade Murphy for a haul of future assets, they might as well tear it all down, trade Zion, and enter a full-scale rebuild. For now, they seem to be opting for patience.
Hands Off Yves Missi: Despite the New York Knicks aggressively calling and making multiple offers to trade for young big man Yves Missi, the Pelicans have reportedly declined all overtures, viewing Missi as a vital part of their future.
☀️ Summer League Takeaways from Vegas
The Pelicans’ Summer League squad in Las Vegas has provided a glimmer of hope after a sluggish start:
Kobe Bufkin has been a major bright spot. Despite some high turnovers and rough shooting stretches, his overall play has turned heads, and he could capitalize heavily on the roster uncertainty back in New Orleans.
Jaron Pierre Jr. (the 58th pick in the 2026 draft) and Malik Dia recently combined to lead the Pelicans to an 81-75 win over the Phoenix Suns. Dia put up 18 points and major defensive stats off the bench, while Pierre has shown flashes of being a volume scorer.
The Omissions: Notably, top young prospects Derik Queen and Jeremiah Fears were held out of Summer League action—a move that suggests the team is fully committed to them and keeping them safe for the main roster.
The Bottom Line: The front office is playing a dangerous game of chicken with the trade market. Unless New Orleans flips some assets for a legitimate starting center before training camp, Jamahl Mosley's first year is going to feature some incredibly weird, experimental lineups.

Lsu Baseball having over 40 players on the roster as a problem. Jay Johnson and Lsu will have to start making cuts to get down to the 34 roster limit. What players do you think it’s cut? This is a dilemma.

[Ventrix Sports @ventrixsports]

1/🚨 MASSIVE WIN FOR JAY JOHNSON & LSU BASEBALL! 🚨
The 2026 MLB Draft is officially wrapped up, and the Tigers just pulled off a monumental recruiting masterclass.
Six Top-100 national prospects and elite high school signees rejected the MLB Draft or bypassed professional contracts to head to Baton Rouge instead.
Here is every single elite high schooler locked in for the Tigers this upcoming season 🧵👇
2/ 🌟 Malachi Washington
Position: Outfielder (OF)
Bio: Rated as the No. 28 overall national prospect and No. 5 outfielder by Perfect Game. A dynamic 6'1", 195lb power hitter from Parkview (GA). Drafted in the 18th round by the Pittsburgh Pirates but officially announced he is bypassing the MLB to head to the Boot.
3/ 🌟 Nate Davis
Position: Outfielder (OF)
Bio: Massive pickup out of Orlando (FL). Ranked as the No. 34 overall national prospect. An elite lefty bat with exceptional speed and coverage in the outfield. Formally withdrew his name from the draft pool early to solidify his commitment to LSU.
4/ 🌟 Lucas Nawrocki
Position: Two-Way Star (LHP / OF / 1B)
Bio: A powerhouse out of Aledo (TX) ranked No. 50 overall nationally. Gives LSU supreme left-handed depth both on the mound and at the plate. Turned down MLB Draft consideration to fulfill his dream of playing in Omaha for the Tigers.
5/ 🌟 Dominic Santarelli
Position: First Base / Outfielder (1B / OF)
Bio: A Top-50 national recruit from Pleasant Prairie (WI) with elite left-handed power. Drafted in the 18th round by the Seattle Mariners but bypassed professional ball to join Jay Johnson's reload in Baton Rouge.
6/ 🌟 Parker Loew
Position: Shortstop (SS)
Bio: Elite defensive infielder out of Jacksonville (FL) checking in as the No. 97 overall recruit in the country. Possesses high-level tools up the middle and a high-upside bat that will immediately impact the Tigers' infield depth.
7/ 🌟 Cooper Sides
Position: Right-Handed Pitcher (RHP)
Bio: Ranked as the No. 100 overall prospect in America out of Orange (CA). Known for an electric arm and high-spin velocity traits. Bypassed professional draft opportunities to take his talents straight to Alex Box Stadium.
8/ 🌟 Braxton Beaty
Position: Left-Handed Pitcher (LHP)
Bio: Highly touted, electric southpaw who was the first to spark the domino effect by pulling out of the MLB Draft. Stated that "no amount of money" could pull him away from playing in Baton Rouge and chasing a National Championship.
9/ 🌟 Coleton Brady
Position: Right-Handed Pitcher (RHP)
Bio: A towering 6'5", 212lb flame-thrower out of New York. Top-175 national prospect featuring a mid-90s fastball and a sharp, devastating slider. Formally withdrew from the draft to join the LSU pitching staff as a true starter profile.
10/ THE TAKEAWAY: While LSU baseball saw current roster pieces head to the pros, Jay Johnson completely secured the future. This freshman class is officially loaded with elite high school prospects ready to make noise in the SEC and push for a trip back to Omaha.

Lsu Baseball is looking like there will have about a little over 40 players on the roster when it’s all set and done. Lsu and J Johnson has some hard decisions to make when they start cutting players to get it down to the 34 man roster limit.

[Ventrix Sports @ventrixsports]

I am blind and I can do better than that. Give me a shot lol

[Justin @ProPelsTalk]

This is kind of pathetic from ESPN.

Trey Alexander is listed as the backup PG and he’s not even on the team.

They Mis-spell Micah Peavy’s last name and they got Herb Jones as the starting Center

MASSIVE WIN IMMINENT FOR LSU BASEBALL? 🐯⚾️
Day 1 of the MLB Draft is officially in the books, and some of the biggest names in the Tigers' elite signing class are STILL on the board heading into Day 2.
Malachi Washington (Elite speed & power)
Anthony Murphy (Dynamic OF tools)
Dominic Santarelli (Led the entire MLB Combine with a mind-blowing 110.9 MPH average exit velocity!)
Colby Stringer (High-upside RHP power arm)
Not one of them was taken on opening day. You know what that means? Jay Johnson and LSU have a massive window wide open to bring this entire four-man wrecking crew straight to Baton Rouge.
Imagine adding Santarelli's historic power, Washington and Murphy's athleticism, and Stringer's heat to Alex Box Stadium. If these guys slide past their price tags today and choose to bet on themselves in the SEC, the rest of college baseball is in serious trouble.
TIGER NATION: Let’s show them what they’re missing if they sign minor league deals. Drop a 🐯 below, tag them, and blow up their timelines. Let’s make it impossible for them to say no to Death Valley!
