re: Imagine that! Yahoo calling out LSU & Kelly for saying he won’t buy players..

BK should've kept that in-house. He gained absolutely nothing from making that statement. It doesn't matter how much you try to twist it, it wasn't a good move to volunteer that statement publicly. It created an unnecessary overreaction from the media and gave other schools ammo to negatively recruit against LSU.

If you don't want to "buy" players (in his words), that's fine... make your NIL offer that you feel is reasonable, and if they decline, move on to the next kid.

We wouldn't be in this position if it wasn't for poor defensive roster/coaching staff management.

Fix it... but don't try to create an excuse/narrative to use later.
