LSU Tigers head coach Lane Kiffin has reconstructed the roster in Baton Rouge this offseason with over 40 newcomers added via the NCAA Transfer Portal.

In what has blossomed into one of the top Transfer Portal hauls of all-time, the LSU coaching staff has dominated the free agent market with both quality and quantity heaading to campus this offseason.

Kiffin's diverse in his recruiting strategy. He isn't afraid to dip into "lower conferences" in order to find a hidden gem, but he also has the ability to swing for the fences and land players from the Southeastern Conference, Big Ten, etc.

Across his first Transfer Portal class in the Bayou State, Kiffin's haul exemplifies just that, but there's also a focus on adding experienced pieces with double-digit SEC transfers heading to town.

LSU Tigers On SI dove into the haul position-by-position with a look into where each newcomers is coming from after inking 41 signees to this point in the portal.
