RECRUITING How the Bryce Underwood flip came to be

We've heard all the talk about Michigan's massive NIL deal being the cause for flipping Underwood, but how'd it come to be? Well, Barstool owner, Dave Portnoy, revealed that he and Larry Ellison (the 5th richest man in the world) got on a call with Ellison's wife (Michigan alum) and discussed the fact that they couldn't stand Michigan not being the best team on the field every Saturday, so they set up a call with Underwood and his family and negotiated terms with them.

Remember, at the start of 2023, Jim Harbaugh was suspended three games for buying a recruit a hamburger on a visit.

Crazy stuff.

LSU FOOTBALL LSU vs OU Brian Kelly Post Game Presser Notes

  • Proud of his team. They heard the narratives that they had nothing to play for, but they played inspired football for 60 minutes tonight.
  • "We're taking receipts and we'll see you at the national championship." Think he means in the future...
  • Says it would've been easy for Garrett to not come back after his shoulder surgery, but he battled through it and had a massive performance.
  • The deep threat has been missing from LSU's offense, but Chris Hilton provided it tonight. Said it took time for him to get back and it usually takes about four weeks to get back from injury. He got the game ball.
  • Says Aaron Anderson's kickoff TD was a turning point for them.
  • Calls Davhon Keys a sound football player who's assignment correct. They trust him a lot. Also called Dom McKinley "unblockable" tonight.
  • Says he's very proud of Aaron Anderson and he's made incredible strides. He's still learning how to do everything on a consistent basis. Says he's just scratching the surface of what he can be.
  • 21 true freshman made the travel roster and they have 16 freshman coming in after this semester. Says it's exciting to have 37 young players coming in. Also hints at the fact that some big names will be returning.
  • Says nobody is happy about being 8-4, but they're happy about how they've performed after a three-game losing streak. They stuck together and stayed committed to the process, and he's proud of them.
  • They've been working through some mechanical things with Nuss to help him hit some more deep balls. Hopes he comes back next year to improve on his season. Seems confident he'll be back.
  • Says the leadership council picks which uniforms they wear each week.

RECRUITING Last day 5 star flips

Has LSU ever been on the good side of any last second flood by high 4 or 5 stars? Seems like we are always getting left at the alter. Did Perk flip late or just stick after thinking he’d flip? Do we have to go all the way back to the purple suited Charles Deis as a last second flip? I think that was his name. Big DL in a purple suit, cane and hat.

RECRUITING Weekend Visitors: LSU vs Oklahoma

LSU head coach Brian Kelly and the Tigers wrap up the 2024 regular season with one final night game in Tiger Stadium, which gives the LSU staff one last opportunity to host recruits for a game day prior to the Dead Period which runs from December 2-8. LSU is slated to host some notable names this weekend including a key visitor they’re trying to hang on to for the 2025 class.

There’s a couple other names I’ve been looking to confirm, but here’s the latest one who we are expecting in for LSU’s matchup with Oklahoma.

LSU BASKETBALL Daimion Collins injury update

With WBB going on, I couldn't make it to the MBB presser today, but I got this about Daimion Collins' injury:

He dislocated his shoulder and is having testing done this week. No timeline available yet, but they're hopeful that it's something he can rehab and get back on the floor this year. If you remember, he suffered a dislocated shoulder last year and missed almost the entire year because he needed surgery to repair it. They're really hoping that's not the case this time, but expect Derek Fountain and Corey Chest to eat up some more minutes in his absence.
