Brent Smith's son is transferring from LSU. Played in 2 games as a true FR last fall. Will sit out this fall and then have 3 years to play 3, unless he can get a 6th year. Looks like a good pickup by Moorhead.

Awesome pick-up. He should have been at MSU all along. We will need linemen in the worst way come fall 2020.

Correct, but when dealing with the Mullen regime, there were just certain prospects out there that were just not willing to play for John Hevesy. Scott Lashley should be at MSU right now as well.

I think this is much more recent than that. He didn't enter the transfer portal until June 21 (that sounds like something out of Star Trek, they need to come up with a better name for it).

Yeah man, Moorhead is doing all the things I wished Mullen would have done. If he can ever figure out the on-field part, I think he will most definitely get us to the next level.

Big if.

If he’s half as good as his old man was it’s a great pick up.

At first I thought you were talking about the OL from Memphis that we thought we would get back in the 2018 class (actually signed with Arkansas, not Tennessee, but Tennessee was a big player for him). If that had been true, we would have essentially made that 2018 class pretty elite.

He's the one that stiff armed Ole Miss at the last second, they had severe case

of redass over it. Since then they have been calling him a bust so I fully expect him to land in Oxford.

Nice... welcome home. Hated it when he committed to LSU to begin with. Hope we get to see him on the field over the next few years.

Portal just refers to an online interface, in this particular case the one players use to initiate their transfer with the NCAA. People gradually started using it to talk anything transfers because they think it makes them sound like they know what they're talking about.

He might not be the last LSU freshman transfer we get. Rumor is Raydar Jones isn’t happy and if he decides to transfer, MSU would be the likely landing spot.

Would be huge, especially with Dantzler likely going pro.

This new transfer thing might be the great equalizer we've always needed. It neutralizes those late season flips.

I got to know Bent and his wife when I was in school, great people.

If he is like his Dad he will be a great addition not only as a player but a good person. I was hoping he would sign with us right away... Better late than never.

Yet, people keep picking LSU to finish high. Yaw-Yaw is a great recruiter, but not-so-great coach and they still don't have a proven QB.

And yet he's 25-9 (15-7) at LSU. I'm beginning to think he may have learned from the fiasco in Oxford and be a better coach than we give him credit for. Or at least good enough to win with the great athletes he's never had much problem recruiting. And since when has LSU ever had a proven QB.

Yeah he's not as terrible as people make him out to be. Who knows what would have happened if he hadn't gone for it on 4th down? He probably would have gotten to coach Jevan Snead in 2008 and who knows what they would have done.

I see him like Dabo. He needs to hire good coordinators and then get out of their way. Be the face of the program and focus on the recruiting. I'm not sure he's 100% accepted all that, but he can be as good as Miles for sure.

Some folks just love to **** all over Ogre and say he's a recruiter but not a good coach. Well, he was a better coach in 2018 than Joe Moorhead was. Hope that trend reverses big time in 2019.
