LSU Just Got Its THIRD 5⭐️ — Lane Kiffin Did in Months What Took 6 Years at Ole Miss Jan 28, 2026

Show notes

LSU’s recruiting momentum keeps snowballing.

LSU wide receiver signee Corey Barber has been upgraded to a five-star prospect by Rivals, giving Lane Kiffin three five-star signees before ever coaching a game at LSU. That’s a stark contrast to Kiffin’s six seasons at Ole Miss, where he signed just one five-star recruit—and it helps explain why the move to Baton Rouge made sense.

We’re joined by Shea Dixon of On3 to break down Barber’s rise, what the final Rivals 2026 rankings reveal about LSU’s class, and how the Tigers are separating themselves nationally on the recruiting trail.

Plus, LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier speaks from the Senior Bowl, finally addressing the injury that derailed his 2025 season and how he’s preparing for the next phase of his career.

In this episode:

Corey Barber’s five-star upgrade

Lane Kiffin’s early recruiting dominance at LSU

Shea Dixon’s analysis of the final Rivals rankings

Garrett Nussmeier opens up about his 2025 injury

Why LSU’s Five-Star RB Said NO to the Portal—and YES to Lane Kiffin Jan 27, 2026

Show notes

LSU running back Harlem Berry joins us for an exclusive 1-on-1 and explains why he chose to return to LSU instead of entering the transfer portal.

The former five-star breaks down his confidence in Lane Kiffin’s offense, why Frank Wilson leaving LSU for Ole Miss didn’t factor into his decision, and what he’s focused on improving as he prepares for his sophomore season.

We also discuss three new assistants joining LSU’s staff, why the LSU administration is fully bought in on Kiffin, and what that level of support means for the program moving forward.

And in a moment LSU fans will enjoy, former Ole Miss quarterback Luke Altmyer praises Lane Kiffin’s role in Ole Miss’ success—a comment that hits very differently depending on which side of the rivalry you’re on.

Charlie Weis Jr. Turns Down Eagles OC Job — What This Means for LSU & Kiffin Jan 26, 2026

Show notes

LSU offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. continues to draw serious NFL attention — but for the second time this cycle, he’s choosing to stay in Baton Rouge. After speaking with the Philadelphia Eagles about their offensive coordinator opening, Weis once again declined an NFL opportunity, following similar interest from the New York Giants earlier this offseason.

What does that say about Weis’ long-term career ambitions? Is he positioning himself for a future head coaching role, and how important is his decision for LSU as Lane Kiffin continues to build stability within the program?

Plus, a major roster development: No. 1 transfer offensive tackle Jordan Seaton is expected in Baton Rouge this week, will enroll for the spring semester, and participate in spring practice. We break down why Seaton’s early arrival matters and what it means for LSU’s offensive line and 2026 outlook.

LSU Spent BIG on the Portal… Is This a One-Year Superteam or a Dynasty? Jan 25, 2026

Show notes

LSU just built the most aggressive transfer portal class college football has ever seen — and it’s ushering in a new era under Lane Kiffin.

The Tigers went all-in for 2026, stacking elite talent through the portal and investing massive resources to win immediately. But was this just a one-year spending spree, or something much more calculated?

In this episode, we break down how Lane Kiffin intentionally constructed LSU’s portal class with long-term sustainability in mind, prioritizing impact players with multiple years of eligibility instead of short-term rentals. We explain how LSU can compete at the highest level now without mortgaging the future.

We also dive into the rapidly evolving NIL and revenue-sharing landscape, including potential rule changes that could fundamentally alter how student-athletes are compensated — and why LSU may already be positioned ahead of the curve as college football enters its next phase.

If you want to understand how LSU is trying to dominate both on the field and in the boardroom, this episode is for you.

Inside the episode:

Why LSU’s transfer class is historically significant

The long-term strategy behind targeting multi-year transfers

Is LSU building a dynasty or a one-season superteam?

How NIL and revenue-sharing changes could reshape college football

What Lane Kiffin’s blueprint means for LSU’s future

Subscribe, rate, and review — and buckle up for the Lane Kiffin era.

HISTORIC: LSU Lands No. 1 OT Jordan Seaton to Cap Greatest Portal Class Ever Jan 24, 2026

Show notes

LSU has officially landed the No. 1 offensive tackle in the transfer portal.

Jordan Seaton committed to LSU, beating out Oregon, Miami, and Mississippi State, and in doing so put the finishing touch on the most impressive transfer portal class in college football history.

In this episode, we break it all down:

How LSU pulled off the Jordan Seaton commitment

Why LSU beat national powers for the top tackle in the portal

The role of NIL, revenue sharing, relationships, and roster planning

Why Seaton was the final missing piece of LSU’s portal strategy

What LSU’s offensive line looks like in 2026 with Seaton in the fold

This wasn’t just another portal win — it was a statement about how LSU is building its roster in the modern era of college football.

If you want to understand how elite programs are actually winning in the portal, this is the episode for you.

LSU’s $40 MILLION Roster?! How the Tigers Bought the No. 1 Transfer Class Jan 23, 2026

Show notes

LSU has landed the No. 1 transfer portal class in college football, and the rumors are already swirling — including claims that the Tigers’ roster could cost more than $40 million.

So how can LSU afford it?

In this episode, we break down the money in the simplest, most straightforward way possible. We explain how LSU is using revenue sharing alongside true third-party NIL deals to build what may be the greatest transfer portal class of this era — and why most fans completely misunderstand how NIL actually works.

We discuss:

Where the $40 million number comes from

Revenue share vs. NIL — and why the difference matters

How LSU gained a massive edge in the transfer portal

Why this model is the future of college football roster building

By the end of this episode, you’ll understand NIL better than most fans — and be able to shut down bad takes the next time the topic comes up.

SEC SQUAD - Can LSU Follow Indiana's BLUEPRINT? Jan 22, 2026

Show notes

Can Kentucky or Vanderbilt become the SEC’s Indiana and stun college football with a national title run? Chris Gordy and a panel of Locked On hosts debate which SEC underdog could rise next, spotlighting the paths for Kentucky, Vanderbilt, Florida, Auburn, and dark horses like South Carolina and Mississippi State. The crew analyzes the impact of coaching hires like Pete Golding and John Sumrall, the transfer portal’s influence, and why quarterback evaluation—highlighting names like Trinidad Chambers, Deuce Knight, and Lenora Sellers—defines championship potential. The conversation also unpacks top SEC portal additions, including Cam Coleman and Jaheim Otis, examines flawed transfer rankings, and reacts to On3Sports’ way-too-early Top 25. Can Texas, Georgia, or Lane Kiffin’s LSU live up to preseason hype? With offensive lines, star quarterbacks, and coaching strategy in the spotlight, the SEC landscape looks more unpredictable than ever.

LSU Steals Ole Miss Sack Leader — Is Jordan Seaton Still in Play? Jan 22, 2026

Show notes

LSU strikes again in the transfer portal, landing Ole Miss EDGE Princewill Umanmielen, the Rebels’ leading sack artist and a much-needed answer to a pass rush that struggled mightily in 2025. We break down Umanmielen’s immediate impact, how he fits in the front seven, and why this addition could change the ceiling of LSU’s defense right away.

Plus, the Jordan Seaton saga isn’t over. The elite offensive tackle left Baton Rouge without signing and remains uncommitted — so where does LSU actually stand, and what’s the latest intel on his recruitment?

And if LSU is finally done at 41 transfer portal additions, we take a step back and give a quick overview of the No. 1 portal class in the nation, how it was built, and what it says about the direction of the program under Lane Kiffin.

Loaded show with breaking news, analysis, and what comes next for LSU football.

Lane Kiffin Flies to Atlanta for One Last Shot at No. 1 OT Jordan Seaton Jan 21, 2026

Show notes

No. 1 transfer offensive tackle Jordan Seaton left LSU without signing — but that didn’t end the chase.

Lane Kiffin made a late-night Hail Mary, flying to Atlanta for one more face-to-face meeting as LSU tries to land the top offensive lineman in the transfer portal. We break down what really happened during Seaton’s visit, why the Atlanta trip matters, and how realistic LSU’s chances still are.

Plus, I detail my conversation with Jeff Landry about Lane Kiffin, Jordan Seaton, and Seaton’s uncle visiting the Governor’s Mansion — and why the Governor could deserve an assist if LSU ultimately closes the deal.

We also answer a key question facing LSU fans:

With the spring enrollment deadline now passed, can Jordan Seaton or Ole Miss EDGE Princewill Umanmielen still enroll at LSU this spring?

We have the actual answer, what LSU’s remaining options are, and how the final days of the portal cycle could still reshape the Tigers’ roster.

Lane Kiffin Takes Jordan Seaton to the Governor’s Mansion?! LSU ALL IN Jan 20, 2026

Show notes

LSU’s pursuit of the No. 1 offensive tackle in the transfer portal, Jordan Seaton, took a dramatic turn late Monday — and the recruitment may not be over after all.

After Seaton canceled his scheduled dinner at Supper Club, the prevailing belief was that he was headed to Oregon. However, a source confirmed Seaton was still inside LSU Football Operations at 4:30 PM, and social media clues from both Seaton and Lane Kiffin suggest LSU made a major late push — possibly including a visit to the Governor’s Mansion to meet Gov. Jeff Landry.

We break down what this all means, what LSU is trying to accomplish, and whether this unprecedented push can close the deal.

We also discuss why Tuesday is the make-or-break day for LSU in its pursuit of Ole Miss EDGE Princewill Umanmielen, including the key obstacles that still remain and what must happen for LSU to land him.

Plus, hear exclusive excerpts from my one-on-one conversation with LSU wide receiver transfer Jackson Harris, including his thoughts on Lane Kiffin, the culture inside the program, and the quarterback room LSU has assembled.

It’s another wild chapter in an already chaotic transfer portal cycle for LSU.
