Spring Practice w/ Jacques Doucet | LSU Basketball Bringing Back Will Wade? | LSU Baseball Ten Run Rules Louisiana Tech

E

LSU sports news for March 25, 2026, is headlined by the start of spring football practice under a new head coach, intensifying rumors of a high-profile basketball coaching return, and a dominant midweek baseball victory. LSU Football Spring Practice LSU officially kicked off its 2026 spring football practice on Tuesday, March 24, under new head coach. Jacques Doucet of WAFB-TV reported on the start of this pivotal period, which features a new offensive system, new quarterbacks, and a rebuilt offensive line. LSU Basketball Coaching Rumors Speculation regarding the return of Will Wade as head basketball coach has reached a "different level" as of March 25, 2026. Current Status: While Matt McMahon remains the head coach, reports indicate LSU is "on the verge" of hiring Wade away from NC State. Potential Hurdles: Bringing Wade back would reportedly require LSU to navigate approximately $15.3 million in combined buyouts for McMahon and Wade's current NC State contract. Wade's Public Stance: Despite the growing noise, Wade publicly maintained his commitment to NC State as recently as March 12, though sources now suggest the job is his if he wants it. LSU Baseball vs. Louisiana Tech LSU defeated Louisiana Tech 15-5 on Tuesday night at Alex Box Stadium, ending the game early in the eighth inning due to the 10-run rule. Key Performer: First baseman Zach Yorke broke a month-long slump by hitting two home runs, including a three-run blast in the eighth. Game Flow: After falling behind 2-0 in the first inning, the Tigers responded with 14 hits, their highest total in over a month. Next Up: The Tigers (17-9) will begin a three-game SEC series against Kentucky this Friday. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Has One Player Benefitted More From The NFL Draft Season Than A Healthy Garrett Nussmeier? | LSU Women's Basketball & The Rematch With Duke In The Sweet 16 | LSU Baseball. Are You Panicking?

E

Garrett Nussmeier has arguably seen the most significant rise in draft stock this season. After a 4,000-yard season in 2024 and overcoming an abdominal injury in 2025, his performance at the 2026 Senior Bowl—where he was named Offensive MVP—and the NFL Combine has catapulted him into the conversation as a top quarterback prospect. LSU Women's Basketball: Sweet 16 Rematch vs. Duke The No. 2 seed LSU Tigers will face No. 3 seed Duke in the Sweet 16 on Friday, March 27, 2026, at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento. This is a high-stakes rematch of their December meeting, which LSU won 93-77 despite an early 14-0 deficit LSU's Edge: The Tigers enter with a record-setting offense, having scored 100+ points 16 times this season. They dominate the boards and possess veteran leadership from Flau'jae Johnson and MiLaysia Fulwiley. Duke's Threat: The Blue Devils have gone 21-2 since their loss to LSU, recently winning the ACC Tournament. They are led by First Team All-ACC forward Toby Fournier and are known for their execution in "crunch time". Coach's Perspective: Kim Mulkey noted the difficulty of beating a team twice, stating both squads have improved significantly since December. LSU Baseball: Is it Time to Panic? The "panic meter" is officially climbing for LSU Baseball as they sit at 16-9 overall and 2-4 in SEC play. Recent Struggles: The Tigers have lost two straight SEC series (Vanderbilt and Oklahoma) and suffered a surprising non-conference series loss to Sacramento State. Performance Gaps: While individual stars like Casan Evans (15 strikeouts in a recent start) and Derek Curiel (.333 average) have flashed brilliance, the team has repeatedly fallen to "weaker" competition. The Verdict: While 16-9 is a rough patch for the defending 2025 National Champions, there is still time to right the ship before the heart of the conference schedule.

Can the return of Chris Stanfield gets LSU back on track? Brian Kelly & Derek Carr Are Insufferable

E

LSU Baseball: Chris Stanfield's Return Senior outfielder Chris Stanfield is nearing a return from a hand injury suffered on February 14 against Milwaukee. Status: Head coach Jay Johnson indicated Stanfield swung the bat "full go" on March 9 and could return in a limited capacity as early as the March 10 game against Creighton. Impact: Johnson described the offense as "vanilla" without him, noting that his return provides a true leadoff hitter and elite defense. Full Recovery: A complete return to the starting lineup is expected within 7 to 10 days, potentially in time for the SEC opener against Vanderbilt. LSU Football: Brian Kelly's Recent Comments Former head coach Brian Kelly made headlines this week following his first public interview since being fired in October 2025. "Running his mouth": During a SiriusXM interview on March 6, Kelly claimed LSU officials allegedly accused him of playing "350 rounds of golf" and drinking in his office during buyout negotiations to fire him for cause. NIL Claims: Kelly revealed that LSU's current roster under new coach Lane Kiffin is costing the program over $40 million in NIL and revenue-sharing. Regrets: He admitted a mistake in not staying "close enough" to the offense and defense during his tenure Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

LSU Baseball has lost 4 of their last 5 | LSU WBB Loses Top Assistant & to SC | LSU Men's Basketball: Will Change Finally Come?

E

LSU sports are hitting a rough patch, from a losing streak on the diamond to high-profile departures and losses on the court, all while former football coach Brian Kelly makes waves with his recent comments. LSU Baseball's Slump The reigning national champion Tigers have indeed struggled recently, dropping four of their last five games. Recent Losses: The skid includes a midweek loss to McNeese State (7-6) and a home series loss to Sacramento State, where they dropped two out of three games. Current Record: Despite the recent slide, LSU remains 12–5 (0–0 SEC) as they prepare for the start of conference play. Coaching Outlook: Head coach Jay Johnson has taken responsibility for the "rough opening" against mid-major programs but maintains that the aggressive early scheduling will benefit the team long-term. LSU Women’s Basketball (WBB) Updates The Lady Tigers suffered a double blow this past weekend with a postseason loss and the departure of a key staff member. Loss to South Carolina: LSU fell 83–77 to No. 3 South Carolina in the SEC Tournament semifinals on March 7, 2026. Despite a 24-point performance from MiLaysia Fulwiley against her former team, the Tigers couldn't overcome the Gamecocks' late surge. Assistant Coach Departure: Top assistant Gary Redus II is reportedly leaving Kim Mulkey’s staff to become the next head coach at Rutgers. Redus has been a vital recruiter for the program, helping secure No. 1 ranked classes in 2023 and 2025. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Jay Johnson Is Trying To Find LSU Baseball's Most Optimal Lineup As The Tigers Go Down Fighting In Second Midweek Loss Of The Year

E

#LSU #LSUFootball #LSUBaseball #NoahTingle #LloydCourtney #TingleCo LSU Baseball (11-2) is currently navigating its first major "funk" of the 2026 season. Following an embarrassing 13-10 loss to Northeastern on Monday, March 2, the Tigers have now dropped two games in a week, including a midweek loss to McNeese State. Despite a late-game rally where the Tigers scored eight runs in the final three innings, the defensive and pitching collapses early in the game proved insurmountable. Key Issues Against Northeastern The loss was marked by a complete breakdown in the early innings, as Northeastern built a 10-0 lead by the third inning. Pitching Struggles: Starter Cooper Williams (0-1) and reliever Zac Cowan struggled significantly, combined allowing eight hits and five earned runs in just 2.2 innings. Defensive Miscues: The Tigers committed 4 errors and several other unrecorded mental mistakes that fueled Northeastern's early scoring. Offensive Slump: While the final score looked competitive due to a late surge, the starting lineup was just 4-for-21 (.190) without an extra-base hit for much of the game. Over the previous three games, the team hit a dismal .165 overall and .083 with runners in scoring position. Current Standing and Outlook Despite the recent struggles, LSU remains one of the top teams in the nation, though they have recently ceded the No. 1 spot in several polls.

OH MY GOD IS LSU TAMPERING?! (Like EVERY OTHER Team In College Football) With The Possible Addition Of Quarterback Damond Williams? The Slow Burn Of Lane Kiffin In The Portal For LSU Football Making Subtle Waves With Jacques Doucet

E

The LSU football team, now led by head coach Lane Kiffin, is actively pursuing top transfer quarterbacks to rebuild its roster, with Demond Williams Jr. and Sam Leavitt emerging as key targets. This search has highlighted ongoing concerns across college football about rampant transfer portal "tampering," which many coaches and observers believe is widespread and difficult to enforce under current rules. LSU Quarterback Search LSU is in urgent need of a starting quarterback after Garrett Nussmeier exhausted his eligibility and both Michael Van Buren and Colin Hurley entered the transfer portal. Demond Williams Jr. Washington QB Williams is considered a high-priority target. He was previously committed to Kiffin's staff at Ole Miss. His recent decision to enter the portal is causing legal controversy, as Washington claims he signed a binding revenue-share contract they intend to enforce. Sam Leavitt The Arizona State transfer visited LSU, where he was seen with Coach Kiffin at a basketball game. However, he is also exploring options and is expected to visit Tennessee. Transfer Portal "Tampering" The consensus among coaches and the broader college football community is that tampering is rampant and "out of hand". NCAA Rules: NCAA rules explicitly prohibit contact with a student-athlete from another institution until they have officially entered the transfer portal. Enforcement Issues: Despite being a Level II violation, many believe the rules are nearly impossible to enforce effectively, partly due to agents acting as intermediaries and recent court rulings that challenge the NCAA's authority to restrict player movement and communication. Controversy: High-profile situations like Demond Williams' potential move, despite a signed contract, are fueling discussions about the lack of control and the increasingly business-like nature of college sports, where players can be swayed by substantial NIL offers and better opportunities.

Did Ole Miss Make A Mistake By Letting The LSU Staff Recruit The Ole Miss Roster During Their College Football Playoff Run? Fan Duel Presents The Tingle & Co Parlay!

E

Portal QB Updates ahead of Jan. 2 | CFP Preview The situation regarding alleged tampering between LSU-bound staff and Ole Miss players is a major storyline, particularly with the transfer portal opening January 2, 2026. LSU needs a new quarterback via the portal, and the College Football Playoff is in its quarterfinal stage. LSU Staff and Ole Miss Tampering Allegations There are significant tensions and allegations of tampering as six LSU-bound assistant coaches are currently coaching Ole Miss in the College Football Playoff. Conflict of Interest: The situation creates an unprecedented dynamic where coaches preparing to work for LSU are also working with their current Ole Miss players, leading to concerns about under-the-table deals and recruiting. Preventative Measures: Ole Miss staff members not going to LSU are reportedly sitting in on individual meetings to "make sure there's no tampering," and some school officials have joked about needing the FBI to bug phones. Key Players Mentioned: Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss and running back Kewan Lacy are specific players whose potential transfer to LSU is a major topic of discussion in media reports. Kiffin's Comments: New LSU head coach Lane Kiffin has publicly avoided direct comments about specific Ole Miss players but has generally discussed the need to use the portal effectively. Transfer Portal QB Updates (Ahead of Jan. 2) The transfer portal officially opens on January 2, 2026, for FBS and FCS players, which is a critical date for LSU to rebuild its roster, especially at quarterback. LSU Needs: The Tigers have a depleted QB room, with only two QBs currently on the roster, creating an urgent need for Kiffin to secure a transfer quarterback. Trinidad Chambliss: The Ole Miss starting QB is seeking an NCAA waiver for a fifth year of eligibility. If granted, he is a prime target for LSU, which would reunite him with Kiffin and his former offensive staff. Current Roster Movement: LSU has already seen QB Colin Hurley and several other players, including promising offensive linemen and wide receivers, announce their intention to enter the portal when the window opens. Strategy: Kiffin's plan is to leverage the transfer portal heavily, aiming to mirror his success at Ole Miss where he consistently brought in top-four transfer classes. College Football Playoff Preview The 2025-26 College Football Playoff first round concluded, and the quarterfinals are currently underway. First Round Results: No. 9 Alabama 34, No. 8 Oklahoma 24 No. 10 Miami (Fla.) 10, No. 7 Texas A&M 3 No. 6 Ole Miss 41, No. 11 Tulane 10 No. 5 Oregon 51, No. 12 James Madison 34 Quarterfinal Matchups: No. 2 Ohio State vs. No. 10 Miami (Cotton Bowl on Dec. 31) No. 3 Ole Miss vs. No. 4 Georgia (Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1) No. 1 Indiana vs. No. 9 Alabama (Rose Bowl on Jan. 1) No. 5 Oregon vs. No. ... (Matchup not specified in sources for Dec 31) Ole Miss plays Georgia in the Sugar Bowl quarterfinal on Thursday, January 1, 2026, at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN, a game heavily overshadowed by the Kiffin drama.
