Spencer Rattler enters the portal and CBS writer Barrett Sallee gives SMU a mention as a potential landing spot along with Ole Miss and South Carolina:

The Mustangs just hired Rhett Lashlee, who did great work as Miami's offensive coordinator with Tyler Van Dyke this year and D'Eriq King in 2020. Lashlee is widely regarded as one of the top up-and-coming offensive minds in the industry, and SMU could lose rising senior Tanner Mordecai to the NFL Draft after this season.

Lashlee utilizes an up-tempo attack that, at times, has benefitted from a dual-threat quarterback. Rattler isn't a weapon on the ground like King, but is more than just a willing runner and can sling it all over the field. He's a good fit for a coach and system that can maximize his skill set.

247 Sports writer Chris Hummer mentions the toads:

A bit of a curveball, but Sonny Dykes is bringing a new system to Fort Worth that Max Duggan might not be the best fit for. If Dykes is looking for an immediate upgrade at the position, he could do a lot worse than Rattler. The Horned Frogs have skill talent, a friendly offensive system and could potentially provide Rattler a path for a little on-field revenge.

Preston Stone is a good fit for Lashlee’s offense.

Preston Stone is a good fit for Lashlee’s offense.

Agreed, can he still play in the Bowl Game and not lose eligibility, if so we should plan to use him a lot more and all of our talented young guys so we can evaluate them and make sure they know they have a role here. This will be great to get a few weeks of practice in with Lashlee as the HC.

the big problem is that we don't yet have a full staff of coaches- especially the D side of the equation. LSU will probably smear us.

Does LSU have their new coaching staff yet?
