I actually thought it might be more.

Five players who blew up during this recruiting cycle and finished as 5-stars: https://n.rivals.com/news/five-star-prospects-who-began-the-2025-cycle-as-three-stars

The SEC announced on Wednesday that the LSU vs South Carolina game, which was originally scheduled for Thursday, has been postponed to Friday due to weather conditions making it impossible for LSU to leave on time.

From @Adam Gorney

Being from Virginia, I love me a good snow day. Hope y'all enjoy this phenomenon (I know my dogs are) and stay safe out there!

A little late, but if y'all want to talk about the National Championship tonight, I figured I'd make a centralized place for everyone.

The Kingston (Ga.) Cass four-star QB met with Joe Sloan today and McWhorter told me it was "all great things." He plans to get back to LSU in March for spring ball so this will definitely be one to watch.

if JD makes it to the Super Bowl and wins, he would have to be considered one of the greatest rookies ever.

thoughts? I really don't think I am over stating this.

Brian Kelly let go of the Tigers' Director of Alumni Relations and High School Outreach, Nic Brossette. The former LSU RB was on the staff for three seasons and was unexpectedly let go yesterday. He was a big part of keeping recruits in the boot, so it'll be interesting to see who they bring in to replace him.

LSU's offensive analyst Paul Turner is accepting a job at Charolette as the team's WR coach and passing game coordinator. He joins Todd Fitch, who is Charolette's OC after being an Analyst for LSU in 2024.

A memo was sent out regarding a new ruling for NIL and Title IX. The NCAA has said that they agree to allow power conferences to share up to 20.5 million dollars in payments to student athletes. Many schools had plans to distribute that money in different ways, with some schools admitting they planned on giving 75+ percent to football alone because it makes much more money than any other sport, but that won't be the case anymore. The Department of Education, which enforces Title IX, ruled that, if schools do not distribute the money equally between every student athlete, they could be in violation of Title IX. They said those payments should be considered athletic financial assistance, therefore it needs to be equal. The memo doesn't say anything about money raised through boosters, it's just the 20.5 million.

Just wow! Unflappable. Is this the best rookie QB season ever?

LSU WR Kyren Lacy is wanted for charges of negligent homicide, reckless operation of a vehicle and felony hit-and-run. The car crash which killed a marine and injured two others, occurred on December 17th. Investigators say Lacy fled the scene and did not report the accident to authorities.

Lacy went on to declare for the NFL Draft two days after the incident.

LSU to open with Clemson in Clemson next season? SMH! Why does LSU seem play OOC power 5 team on the road first? Clemson's 5th year senior QB who threw 30-plus Tds against something like 6-8 interceptions is also returning.

LSU backup QB Colin Hurley was involved in a car crash on campus at 2:45am Thursday morning and was found unresponsive, per report by WAFB. He crashed into a tree near South Quad Drive and Highland Road. He was pulled out of his car by firefighters and was unresponsive at first, but was in and out of consciousness. He had a large cut on his face and was still breathing when they found him. Officials say impairment was not suspected.
