So there are three big name prospects with strong LSU/Louisiana ties who are ripe for the transfer portal back home - Denver Harris (5* CB), Jacoby Mathews (5* S) and Laveon Moss (4* RB).
Harris grew up a Tiger fan, his father even played basketball for LSU. He planned on signing with LSU, even told the A&M coaches that he was signing with LSU but at the end of the day simply couldn't turn down the money they were throwing at him. Jacoby Mathews was reportedly crying when he told the LSU staff that he 'had to go to Texas A&M'. Laveon Moss grew up practically in the shadow of Tiger Stadium.
These are the three most likely to transfer back to LSU imo - it has to have crossed their mind more than once at this point, you have to think they've been reached out to 'through unofficial channels', just to gauge their interest... and LSU's NIL game is much stronger than it was during the last recruiting cycle. I guess the main questions are, 1) do they actually decide to leave and 2) is CBK going to want them at this point. I feel like the answers to both of those questions are more likely 'yes' than 'no' for all three of these young men. It'll be interesting to see how this develops, but if anyone hears anything, please post it here.
Things are going to get worse in College station before they get better - if they get better at all. With LSU, Ole Miss and Florida left on their schedule, they're very likely to have at least two more losses. It helps that four of the next 5 are at home, but if they lose to the Rebels tomorrow, it could all fall apart in a hurry.
