LSU Football head coach, Brian Kelly said they are not interested in buying players after two top defensive players committed to other schools. Kelly made the comments to WAFB-TV in Baton Rouge. TigerRag Editor, Todd Horne, says Damonic Williams and Simeon Barrow ended up getting more lucrative NIL deals at other schools..
Cut 3 (11) “…defensive tackels.”
Williams committed to Oklahoma after two seasons at TCU. Barrow is headed to Miami after three seasons at Michigan State.
Kelly has said signing defensive tackles from the transfer portal is a priority this offseason, but so far they’ve missed out on big names. Kelly told WAFB-TV that they are not going to buy players, they have something else to sell…
When asked about what defensive tackle Damonic Williams out of TCU’s intentions were behind entering the transfer portal, Horne said it looks like its about one thing…money.
Cut 5 (10) “…demanded 7 figures.”

Since the 2020 hurricane season a Lake Charles shelter for domestic and sexual violence victims hasn’t been able to house residents. Executive director of Oasis A Safe Haven, Kathy Manuel (pronounced manual) says on Monday they’ll reopen their doors to a completely renovated shelter.
Manuel says survivors were either housed in hotels or placed in shelters elsewhere, which presented a security risk.
Often victims are hesitant to seek shelter if they’ll be housed in another city. Manuel hopes now they’ll take that bold step towards recovery and seek shelter in their renovated facility.
The shelter was gutted after the storms and now it has new floors, walls, and a new security system.
