The LSU Football team took a massive blow out of nowhere on Thursday Night as LSU lost the commitment of the Nation's top overall recruit Bryce Underwood. The news hurts even more as LSU loses Underwood just under two weeks from National Signing Day leaving LSU with little time to figure out their next plan.
On Thursday Night, LSU fans took to twitter to express their emotions over the loss of Bryce Underwood and the State of LSU's Program.
Producer, Podcaster, and Baton Rouge Native Van Lathan asked where Todd Graves is as LSU's NIL pitch clearly fell short.
WHERE IS THE CHICKEN FINGER BILLIONAIRE

One fan kept receipts pulling a video of Bryce Underwood speaking on what commitment means to him.

Another fan mentions how LSU went from having the Nations top quarterback Bryce Underwood, the Nation's top running back in Harlem Berry, and top wide receiver Dakorien Moore. The Tigers now only hold a commitment from Harlem Berry.
Yall remember when we had Dakorien Moore and Bryce Underwood committed? Me too 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

One fan declared that LSU Offensive Coordinator and Quarterbacks Coach Joe Sloan now belongs with the Guangdong Tigers.
Joe Sloan, you are now a guangdong tiger.

The only people that may be more upset than LSU Football fans are Ohio State fans as their biggest rival now has a top quarterback commit. Barstool's Ohio's Tate posted a reaction hate watching Bryce Underwood's film.

The Tigers will be perfectly fine with or without Underwood
While losing Bryce Underwood to the Wolverines certainly helps, the Tigers will be perfectly fine going forward. The Tigers will now need to get Garrett Nussmeier back at quarterback to serve as the starter while LSU figures out the depth in the room. Going forward, LSU now needs to figure out their emergency plan if Nussmeier leaves for the NFL as there isn't a ton of experience in that room.
