Van Buren to LSU

[greenbean.sixpack]

MVB will not beat out Nussmeier.

I doubt they expect him to.

 

[Barkman Turner Overdrive]

But he is getting life changing money. Imagine finishing college with several million dollars to start off.

He will burn through that money quicker than a fast Cosby. He will leave college broke AF with no degree.

 

[Barkman Turner Overdrive]

And oh yea, 17 that guy! I hope we don’t have to listen to the MVB fan boyz over the next few years like we’ve had to hear about our former QBs. He left us.

 

[85Bears]

I doubt they expect him to.

Probably their starter after Nuss leaves. I think he’s a good signing except LSU would be better with a true duel threat, unless they get a great run game going.

 

[MSUDOG24]

I wonder how many will actually have a degree ?

Happened to be looking at the pictures of graduation on the HailState website this morning and it was nice to see a number of players. Between that and the graduate patches I see, there are at least several.
Wouldn't argue that there are also those "not here to play school".

 

[onewoof]

Wish him the best. He's still got a ways to go to learn the basic ABC's of being a QB.

It’s WAY too early to be projecting 2026 starters. LSU will probably take another transfer QB next year. And 50-50 Van Buren leaves for another school.

 

[Barkman Turner Overdrive]

Wish him the best.

I don’t. He plays for a conference rival.

Smart to get an SEC starter, with a lot of potential, as a backup

 

[Dawgg]

Is Krom listening to our offers ?

By Krom, that is a solid nerdy reference.

 

[thatsbaseball]

i bet he drags his boy Craver along with him

But I bet they both come back when we commemorate the "24" team **

 

[was21]

These days you can't stockpile decent players. Probly should have stood pat with what we had. Similar to the WR room. Go ahead and sign a bunch. Then the best will leave for more money and the others will leave for playing time. See Coleman/Creed. Then what ya got ??

Program and player development is over. Fielding a team from year to another year is not over. It's what is. A general manager may help kind of like a college major in pipeline supply. Maybe one reason why who the corch is and who the defensive coordinator is don't really matter.

 

[DAWGSANDSAINTS]

Boy I hope Lebby made the right call.

I have no faith that he did.

 

[tbaydog]

In a game like that against such an inferior opponent, the QB has to but the team on his back and will them to victory - especially at home. No matter how bad our D played, Shapen put up 17 points on them. Had our D held them to 21, we'd still lost. SloMo put 21 on them.

 

[DAWGSANDSAINTS]

MVB can thank Shapen for getting hurt so they he could get some PT. Otherwise MVB is probably still on the roster and we don’t even know much about him.

Nah, in their mind they are a Heisman finalist sitting in NY and they’re looking for a payday!

 

[DAWGSANDSAINTS]

You assume he, and all of these other players, will finish college with all this money. Not many 18-19 year olds have that level of maturity to plan ahead. I'm betting 97% of them leave college with almost none of that money.

But uncle Joe and aunt Tamica will be the gatekeepers of the money

 

[The Cooterpoot]

Considering we haven't signed a better replacement yet, I'd wait on a lot of opinions until we do

 

[patdog]

You have to not just look at the player but what he would cost. With our NIL budget & a lot of glaring weaknesses still to be addressed, $1M+ for Van Buren is just too much.

 

[RocketDawg]

Yeah, I can agree with that. Our D sucked all season.

If I recall correctly, we were down 14-0 to Massachusetts just a few minutes into the game. Things got better after that, but it sort of looked like another Maine for a while, to me. We could have been 1-11 this year.

 

[RocketDawg]

A small, inaccurate passer who doesn’t run very well. Go ahead.

And doesn't protect the ball while he's running.

 

[HotMop]

Nah, Toledo is better than Tulsa. Not that it matters or anything.

We need to schedule Tulsa then.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Nah, in their mind they are a Heisman finalist sitting in NY and they’re looking for a payday!

The reality is they are strippers at Club Expose and they see a bus load of drunken tourists just walk in.

 

[onewoof]

I don’t. He plays for a conference rival.

By best I mean he gets paid to do nothing. I think that's the best he can hope for, save his money and get a degree

 

[Ranchdawg]

Noodle Arm 2 fumble everytime he was tackled.

 

[golferdog]

Mistake, he won't play there.

 

[onewoof]

Mistake, he won't play there.

not when LSU is constantly looking for the #1 5 star QB and offering him well into 7 figures (as well as the #1 5 star WR)
