    McMillan was a dual-threat prospect out of Cedar Hill, Texas, and he committed to LSU in 2015 while Cam Cameron was the offensive coordinator.

    "You build system connections throughout your whole year of high school (in the recruitment process), and then you get to the (university) and you see a new face," McMillan said. "That connection is gone. You see a school you honestly didn't commit to. That system, you didn't come for that system. - - LSU Graduate, QB Justin McMillan


    "I think if a kid's going to play in another conference, it's fair," Orgeron said. "I'd hate to see one of our guys go to our (SEC) opponents. I don't think it's in the spirit of the sport." - - Orgeron, in the spirit of Stupid


    If this seems familiar..

    He only blocked transfer to an SEC school or LSU opponent over the next 2 years. Why let a guy who just told you,"I didn't commit to you" go someplace where he might beat you? Remember Rick Clausen? Dude left LSU and played one decent half of a football game for the rest of his career. Oh yeah, and it was for Tennessee to beat LSU.

    I don't think he can block it for 2 years unless there is a retroactive aspect to the new rule. As of October 15th, coaches can't block transfers at all. Players will simply have to inform the school of their intent to transfer, the school has to enter their name in to a database, and then ANY coach may contact that player.

    With that in mind, it's sort of a bitch move to block now, knowing that in 2 months he can't. It's either "about the kids" or it isn't.

    Wasn't even thinking about the rule change. OK, good point.

    AAAAHHHHH he knows our offense and our basic offensive scheme it's that simple. That is why the rule was put in. If it has changed so be it.

    They way I read the article, the SEC passed a rule saying they can transfer but the NCAA rule takes precedent and that is the one they have to abide by.

    Just this past season we saw Baker Mayfield relaying signals.
