Wolverines Launch Bold Bid for Louisiana’s Speed Demon
Four-star Pflugerville (Tex.) Weiss wide receiver Tre Moore has rocketed up recruiting boards after a sophomore season with 38 catches, 562 yards, and six touchdowns. While he’s verbally committed to Texas, LSU is still in the mix—and he’ll visit Baton Rouge on April 1. Michigan is next on his itinerary, thanks to top-notch facilities and offensive guru Lane Kiffin’s “football nerd” reputation. Offers also came from Miami, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, and NC State-bound coaching plans are swirling as Moore evaluates the best landing spot.
In case you missed the memo, college recruiting is basically NASCAR: same cars, different sponsors, and fans cheering you on through pit stops. Tre Moore’s promise to Texas lasts until someone waves a shinier helmet, and the Wolverines just unleashed their grand touring package. Lane Kiffin’s text game and free tailgate snacks could be the real game-changer—because nothing seals a commitment like an all-you-can-eat buffet and a side of “we really need you.”
Inside LSU’s Stealth Campaign to Re-Recruit Will Wade
Sources report LSU is inching toward a reunion with former coach Will Wade by installing McNeese State AD Heath Schroyer as a senior administrator. Schroyer and LSU President Wade Rousse both worked with Wade back in the day, making him the key to unlocking Wade’s return. Wade, now at NC State, insists his job is safe, but LSU’s quietly lining up the buyout and planting buzz that McMahon’s seat is increasingly hot.
Imagine a clandestine high-school reunion where everyone whispers about how great it’d be if “David” came back—and promptly hires the friend most likely to deliver the invite. LSU’s orchestrating the ultimate stealth mission: planting Schroyer as a Trojan horse to smuggle Wade past the bouncer. It’s less “all-in” and more “all-in on plausible deniability,” because nothing says love like a sidekick deployment.
Tigers Chase Nation’s Top Catcher to Tempt Him From Texas
Easton Royal, the No. 1 wide receiver in the 2027 cycle, has cemented his reputation with 53 catches, 1,151 yards, and 17 touchdowns as a junior at Brother Martin in New Orleans. Despite a verbal pledge to Texas, LSU kept talking—earning two upcoming visits—and Lane Kiffin’s weekly motivational texts. Royal acknowledges his commitment but admits his friends and family are rallying for a Baton Rouge flip before he makes a final call this offseason.
Recruitment 101: find the kid at home, show him a bigger scoreboard, and remind him of fourth-down heroics. LSU’s turning flip-trials into an Olympic sport—complete with home-cooked jambalaya and gentle emotional manipulation from Coach Kiffin. Because why settle for “I’m committed” when you can hear “I’m still thinking about Jambalaya Friday” in every post-visit tweet?
Baton Rouge Taps Schroyer to Prelude Wade’s Grand Homecoming
LSU is reportedly targeting McNeese State athletic director Heath Schroyer for a senior administrator role focused on men’s basketball. Schroyer, who helped bring Wade to McNeese, has guided the Cowboys to a 53-9 record over two seasons. With Schroyer’s hire, LSU President Wade Rousse hopes to rekindle the chemistry that once turned the Tigers into Sweet 16 contenders under Wade’s leadership.
LSU’s solution to a coaching dilemma: import the guy who once hired the man they want, because that’s way more subtle than just putting up a “Wade for Hire” billboard. Think of Schroyer as the decoy seagull leading the Gull Air Force right past the SEC’s empty nest. It’s corporate recruitment at its finest—bring in the middleman, then watch the original act swing back for an encore.
Price Tag for Reunion: Gauging LSU’s Wade Buyout Bonanza
To poach Will Wade, LSU would need to cover Matt McMahon’s estimated $8 million buyout and North Carolina State’s $5 million fee for Wade—dropping to $3 million after April 1. With McMahon’s future murky and the NCAA Transfer Portal opening on April 7, LSU’s brass is crunching numbers and timing announcements to rebuild the roster and coaching staff in one strategic swoop.
Because who needs new gym equipment when you can blow eight figures on coaching breadcrumbs? LSU’s playbook this spring: pay everyone off until somebody usable shows up. It’s the financial equivalent of hiring a skywriter to say “We really, really want that guy.” After all, nothing says commitment quite like an invoice bigger than most schools’ athletic budgets.
