Mannie Netherly - LSU transfer?

I’d keep an eye on this kid. Was a 4 star out of Crosby who signed with LSU in 2017. Was a QB in high school, played WR as a freshman and then was moved to DB last season. Didn’t make the depth chart this week and announced he was transferring today. Has a redshirt year so he’ll have two years remaining after this season.

Sister just transferred from FIU to play for Coach Hughey and the women’s basketball team. Dad has been very pro-UH ever since the move.

Saw that he hit the portal. I don’t want to knee jerk react every time a kid from the regional P5s goes into the portal, so I’m glad to see your background on this kid. We need all the DB depth we can get!

Oh, and just noticed a few of the UH coaches started following him today as well.

I don’t want to get ahead of myself but the way the staff has been recruiting lately I’ll Be pretty surprised if we don’t land him.

Hahaha so true. You have other UH sites that charge, but here at Coogfans, it’s free UH content for days. This is why this is my favorite UH sports site hands down. Go Coogs.

Seems like it should be a slam dunk if we pursue him.
Would be another great addition to our already elite scout team secondary.

FWIW we follow Paris on the pawdcast account and she tweeted this, responding/quote tweeting her brother Mannie.

I don’t speak fluent “gen Z” but I think this means there’s at least a decent chance he ends up here.

That coach and staff have done a great job there.
UK lost a ton. This year will be a good measuring stick to see where the program stands.

His former LSU DB teammate is headed to UK.

I think it’s a done deal with us. From the moment his sister transferred here and retweeted Moore and someone else who said “I want to move to houston”

I’m cautiously optimistic about a player who didn’t make the depth chart and had to change positions.

Appears to me he wasn’t a good athletic fit for LSU, but perhaps he will be for us.

I was thinking the same thing, then I remembered how well LSU has recruited DBs over the years. There may just be a log jam of talent there.

Can he play on Sunday? Will he be eligible vs OU?
