Ssoooo....which current or future UGA QB or QBs transfers out now??

I agree with each comment. I'd love to see Thomas end up in NOLA or Cincinnati. If the Saints pass on Thomas, then hopefully he lasts until Cincy picks 18th. Saints should draft Fashanu, Thomas, or Bowers.

These bettors would bet on farts, what direction they travel, and how horrible the stench. It's just absurd everything that is betted on these days.

IF McKinstry sneaks into the back end of the 1st round, then yes.

Would love the Saints to draft Fashanu, Bowers, or Brian Thomas in the 1st, and Nix in the 2nd. Would love the Bengals to draft Bowers or Thomas. It is likely the SEC gets the 7 mentioned in the 1st round, but McKinstry could sneak in there as #8.

Army-Navy should be on everyone's bucket list if you have not had the honor of being there in person.

If Nix is still available with the Saints #2 pick, I'd find a way to trade up to draft him. They need someone dependable and trustworthy like that behind Carr. Carr isn't the answer long-term. Nix could be.

I predict Penn State OT Olu Fashanu to the Saints at #14. Would love to see Brian Thomas get drafted there, but it is not likely. Saints need protection. However, I would not be upset if they went defense and grabbed Cooper DeJean as insurance for Lattimore. If the Jags somehow pass on Brian Thomas, then Cincinnati will certainly get him. Would make a dangerous trio of Chase, Higgins, and Thomas. Cincy could also go TE with Bowers.

He'll have a chance to start after Dart leaves this season. He would have had the chance to start for LSU after Nuss leaves this season..barring a bad season from Nuss. So, I am not sure what his thought process was behind transferring to Ole Miss. Just didn't make any sense to do so.

For the same reason they want to knock Jayden for his durability even though Murray and Jackson have had longevity in the NFL being the same way. If my memory serves me correctly, Nix never lost to a G5 team, whereas Williams lost to Tulane.

If Lagway had committed to Auburn rather than Florida, he'd be starting for Hugh Freeze. Now, he may have to wait his turn, especially if Mertz has another good season. Then again, if he stubs his toe and Lagway comes in, that's all she wrote for the Mertzinator.

The plus side of Swann having a good deal of experience is, is that he has played in multiple sold out deafening stadiums. In a system like the LSU offense, he could flourish behind a really good OL and dependable WRs. I am a little intrigued by the guys behind Nico. Not much fanfare there, but there wasn't for Henderson or Reed at A&M either. They could be better than anticipated.

Just like y'all, I am hoping and believing that LSU has a few dependable options. Lacy will undoubtedly be our WR1 and Hilton WR2, but after that it is up for grabs. Daniels comes in from Liberty, Thomas comes over from Miss State, and then there is Aaron Anderson, Shelton Sampson, and Kyle Parker. The pieces are there, and hopefully someone takes the football and runs with it. Mason Taylor should have a big year this season. Could be his last if he does. I am anxious to see what TEs Kamorreon Pimpton and true freshman TreyDez Green look like on the field together. That being said, good luck to your Dawgs. I'd love for another LSU-UGA SEC CG matchup, but it may be Texas instead of us this year.

In other news, congratulations to the LSU Gymnastics team for winning their first ever national title after coming close a few times over the last few years.

Any reliable go-to WRs for UGA outside of Lovett or Delp at TE?

I think you could switch A&M and LSU and still be correct. I don't put much stock in Henderson's performance against the 2023 LSU defense. Who wouldn't succeed against that?? I do think Nuss and Weigman are two of the best SEC QBs behind Ewers, Beck, Milroe, and Dart. I think LSU is in a better position with Swann and Collins though than A&M is with Henderson or Reed. We really don't even know what Walker Howard would be like in a tough game situation behind Dart. So, really, 4-6 could be interchangeable and be correct.

Kyren Lacy will be the next LSU star WR with Hilton and Daniels just behind. Thomas could make his mark too. Our offense is in good hands and shape with Nuss. If we can get Barrow or Williams to transfer to start at DT with Guillot, we will be set. Unless Kelly sees fit to go after a portal CB.

Manning may end up being a good QB, but I have my reservations. Against the best teams in the state of Louisiana, he struggled at QB in high school.

Stupid decision if you ask me. Someone is still going to end up transferring out of that room...whether it is still Rashada, Stockton, or Puglisi.

Jacob Hester is awesome. My sons have gone to his football camp in Shreveport every spring the last several years. I've gotten to know him pretty well. He is extremely knowledgeable and tells it like it is.

Your DC is gone TrueLefty! Keep trying to make yourself feel better about your defense. Ain't gonna happen.

Hear those crickets?

TrueLefty is so hurt by Baker leaving for LSU. He is still hurt by LSU beating his little Tigers last season.

His point is, is that he doesn't have one, nor a leg to stand on.

These betting people will bet over farts and which ones smell the worst. It's ridiculous.

Nussmeier won't be using his legs like Daniels, but the running and blocking schemes are changing to allow for more success running the ball with our talented backs. Nuss will still chuck the ball down the field with a great deal of success, but it will also be conditioned on how well the running game gets established. I think he'll have around a 3,000 yard passing season. Maybe not the 40 passing TDs, but as long as the running game takes shape, he doesn't need 40 TDs. 25-30 would be just fine.

I expect LSU to be 5-0 heading into the showdown with Ole Miss, but the USC game will be a really good test. I believe we'll see a much more disciplined defense than the vanilla stuff at the spring game. USCe will be a good measuring stick as well in an extremely loud environment. That game I think will be a tone setter for the ones that follow. I don't think UCLA will be a total pushover, but right now, they are cursed with a few torn ACLs on their team to key players. Totally new staff for that team as well with Deshaun Foster taking over. IMO, Ole Miss will be our toughest game outside of Alabama, and we have both of those at home. Oklahoma may be a good test at the end of the season, but by that time, we should know where we stand in the CFP race.

Their defense won't get a break either with our offense. That first game may just be a case of who outscores the other. I expect both defenses to give up a few chunk plays, but hopefully Perkins is up to the task, whatever Baker has him do, and hopefully Guillory can provide the clogging in the middle along with whoever is next to him. If we run more 3-4, we can expect to see a lot of Whit Weeks at LB. That kid is exciting and has a huge future for LSU.

Spring games are spring games. BK said Baker really only ran two coverages the whole game, so as to not tip his hand to any one thing he was doing. And the results showed by only running two coverages. I expect it will be a different outlook come September when the defense blitzes much more, and the DBs will have had more time under Raymond. I was encouraged by the LB play and also of Guillory on the interior. Defenses are once again going to have problems stopping or keeping up with our WRs. Hopefully, the defense comes along as it should through the season, and we end up with at least 10 wins heading into the SEC CG possibly and then the CFP.

Michael Braswell has been a disappointment with his errors every game. He's got to lead the league in errors by a large margin. JJ needs to re-evaluate that position.
