| LSU has put the wraps on the nation's top-rated transfer portal class, just in this past two weeks getting All-Big 12 Houston safety AJ Haulcy away from Miami and USF defensive tackle Bernard Gooden. What did that class cost LSU? How did LSU coach Brian Kelly, football general manager Austin Thomas and athletic director Scott Woodward lead the charge to get this done with the assistance of some well-heeled Tiger boosters? Our Wilson Alexander has all the details for you in the most comprehensive, insightful, impactful story you could find anywhere on LSU's new approach to the transfer portal. I know it's a story by the same news organization we both work for, but this is truly the definitive work on the subject. If I may brag on him for a moment, Wilson is the best at wrapping his arms around a complex topic and making it readable for everyone. If you have any interest in LSU football, you absolutely must read this story. There is also other LSU sports stuff to talking about, of course. We've got Koki Riley's five takeaways from LSU's close-but-not-quite baseball series loss over the weekend at Texas A&M, and he's got the details on the Tigers' final midweek game of the season Tuesday against Grambling. Finally, I've got an update on the top 10-ranked LSU women's golf team and where it stands after the first round of its NCAA regional at Ohio State. That's all for now, folks. Enjoy your sports Tuesday, everyone. Scott Rabalais |
