Message: [QUOTE="CbusCuse, post: 5389937, member: 507"] I'm not just addressing this to you kcsu, but I keep seeing many people on this board and even other SU articles seeming to state that almost assuredly that Rickie Collins would have been next in line to start at LSU if Garrett Nussmeier hadn't returned in 2025. But I really question if that is true. Rickie has passing stats from 3 games in 2024, all before November. AJ Swann has passing stats from 2 games in 2024, all in November. Back when we picked Rickie up, I believe I had read that it was apparent AJ Swann had moved ahead of Rickie at LSU. Swann was a transfer from Vanderbilt that already had 12 starts under his belt there, 6 as a true freshman and 6 as a sophomore. I wonder if Rickie was really QB2 or if that was just to use him in the reserve capacity to preserve a year of Swann's eligibility. Later in the season with just a handful of games left, it seems Swan took over as QB2. Going into the 2024 season the competition for QB2 was close and fans were unsure who was going to win it to start the season. And apparently from some articles i read, the true freshman Colin Hurley was also starting to press those 2 for the back-up role late in fall camp as well.

I'm just trying to add some info regarding his situation before coming to SU. [/QUOTE]
