Tyrann Mathieu has talked before about coaching when his playing career ended. On why it appeals to him, he told me in 2022: "I saw what coaching did for me... I do think I can do that for the next person."

Would be pretty cool if he coached at LSU someday.

LSU football has already lost most of its 2023 recruiting class. It's not alone in the SEC. There seems to be a trend developing in the SEC if you consider the circumstances surrounding the recruiting class of 2023.

LSU already lost 60% of its 2023 recruiting class. Turns out, it's not alone.

Arkansas has three players left, and nine SEC teams lost at least half of their HS signees.

A Kentucky transfer could make a difference for LSU with his speed. 'You ain’t catching him.' The LSU receiving corps has a chance to work with Garrett Nussmeier to put something special on the field in 2025.

Ask about LSU WR Barion Brown, and Kentucky players all bring up the same thing: speed.

"He's a blur, dude."

"No one can catch that guy."

Thing is, he might not be LSU's fastest receiver:

Alabama players say they didn't 'fully' trust Kalen DeBoer after Nick Saban's retirement "A lot of people trusted him, but they didn’t trust him fully. I think this year, everybody trusts him." Will Kalen DeBoer put Alabama back on top in Year 2?

On Kalen DeBoer, Alabama QB Ty Simpson told me: β€œNot many people β€” a lot of people trusted him, but they didn’t trust him fully. I think this year, everybody trusts him."

Can Alabama get back on top in Year 2?

Alabama LT Kadyn Proctor just said he owns 170(!) bottles of cologne.

He lives with Wilkin Formby, who apparently has like 70 bottles himself, and I can't imagine what that house smells like.

Brian Kelly said he was asked recently about NIL rules and finding a way around them. He said coaches need to lead the way: β€œSooner or later, we’ve got to take the stand that transparency, consistency, ethics and morality are at the core of this.”
