Has the making of a Mullen tight end but maybe a tad slow.I have no idea if this will come to fruition, but it appears that Johnson will be the next QB at LSU. They were playing that other true frosh, but after shredding UF's and Ole Piss's Defense on consecutive weeks, I think Johnson has wrestled that spot. That other true frosh was a mountain of a kid, athletic and only had so so passing skills at this time. I have to think that Cousin Eddie is watching 24/7 to see if that kid enters the portal.
Pierre had the size but he did very little that says he any good. Hopefully this will make room for a DT to transfer in. Preferably two of em.
I'm confused. We often talk about the McWilliams and Stiners of the team we want to see processed out to make room for more recruits. Why would Pierre's departure NOT free up a scholarship?Any transfer out of the program, even if 50 players transfer out, has NO bearing whatsoever on how many we can bring in. I believe we have 4 initial counters to work with - we probably take at least one more HS player, possibly two, meaning we can take two transfers. That's it. So losing Pierre doesn't get us an extra body. That's why I keep harping on Dunlap returning - he'd be a free body (and possible starter). He's already on the roster, so it's not an initial counter.
Grantham advised him being over 225 meant DT next year.NO idea if this is good or bad, but he seemed to add more bulk compared to the other LBs from his class. So I'm guessing this is bad.

This. People have zero clue about the rules. the only way this helps is by freeing up one of the 85. the 25 limit on new commitments and transfer "counters" stands. (that's two separate rules actually.)So losing Pierre doesn't get us an extra body.
it frees up one of the 85. so in yoears when we are bumping up against the 25, it might matter.I'm confused. We often talk about the McWilliams and Stiners of the team we want to see processed out to make room for more recruits. Why would Pierre's departure NOT free up a scholarship?
Well, it is added to scholarship not added to roster. ie we have walkons who are added to the roster but who arent initial countersEach year a team gets 25 "initial counters" - an initial counter is a player added to the roster .
That's a stupid rule. Considering the push for immediate eligibility for transfers, which will increase the transfer rate IMHO, it's about to become an even stupider rule. Go knock some heads at the ncaa, BMF!It frees up a 2022 opening. We can give his scholarship to a walk-on in 2021 if we're under 85 (a walk-on who is already on the roster).
Here's a Cliff's Notes version on how recruiting works:
Each year a team gets 25 "initial counters" - an initial counter is a player added to the roster who was NOT on the roster the previous season (basically, a new player). Sometimes you can add more than 25 IF you only add say 23 the previous year, then you can add 27 in the current year. We are currently at 21, so we have 4 more remaining. If we lose another 10 players to transfer we can still only have 4 more initial counters. If we lose only Pierre....we can still only have 4 more initial counters. If we add 3 more HS kids we only have room for 1 transfer = 4 initial counters.
That's a stupid rule. Considering the push for immediate eligibility for transfers, which will increase the transfer rate IMHO, it's about to become an even stupider rule. Go knock some heads at the ncaa, BMF!
UF LB Jesiah Pierre is in the transfer portal:

Our QB situation is fine - we're going into next season with 4 scholarship QBs. The reason we took 2 in this class is they wanted 4 scholarship QBs. We aren't taking a transfer....plus we don't have the counters.
I was not saying we will, I was saying this guy was a much more athletic Nick Fitzgerald, you know the type of guy Cousin Eddie gets slathered up about.
Shout rumored to be in portal. Better than Guaratano. Good enough for interest?
BMF says we are not taking a QB no matter who or how good, he is!
I worship at the alter of BMF!
