Lane Kiffin and the LSU Tigers are cruising in the NCAA Transfer Portal this month with the program surpassing 20 additions after a strong weekend in Baton Rouge.

Once Kiffin arrived in the Bayou State, there was a primary focus on hitting the free agent market with force as the program's new shot-caller prepared to unleash a treasure chest full of roster cash.

“[LSU AD Verge Ausberry] and his team had a really, really good plan,” Kiffin said on Dec. 1. “Even talking to some donors that are part of that plan here to see exactly, how does that work? There’s a great plan here.

"There’s a great plan here of how we can come together with what we bring and with what players around the country want to play for us and our systems, and then have that support to do that, so that they want to play for us and they get taken care of financially.

“Obviously, nowadays, it’s the world of college football and it’s important and it’s critical to them. It’s important to them. This was the best setup. That definitely played a factor into it. I don’t care what your systems are. Without good players, they don’t work.”
