LSU PORTAL NEWS | Why you need to re-think roster construction in NIL & transfer portal era

It's a Mailbag Wednesday! 

On today's edition of Locked On LSU we address your transfer portal-related questions and address the philosophical question facing every single college football coach across America: is recruiting and developing better for the strength of a program rather than building through the transfer portal? Which path is best for Brian Kelly in year three and beyond? The spring transfer portal window is open until April 30th. While LSU looks to add to the defensive tackle room, several players formerly on LSU's roster has entered the portal and many of those players are in their first couple of years at LSU. Will that hurt the Tigers in the long run? Does it matter in an age of college football in which coaches can't afford many losing seasons?

Plus, we break down the LSU gymnastics national championship. Which Tiger team is next to bring home the hardware?
