BOR meeting sparks speculation
LSU’s seen eight players enter the NCAA Transfer Portal, which runs through July 2.
This season was a roller coaster for the staff as the Tigers clawed their way into postseason play just a year removed from winning a National Championship.
“We held the trophy last year and I’m equally proud of my team and our program today as I was that day,” Johnson said after the season-ending loss to North Carolina. “Where we were in the middle of SEC play to right now is one of the most gratifying coaching years of my entire life. To come out of that the way we came out of that, nobody does that, and to take these guys [to the end].”
