re: Wilson Alexander has a good article up on the Advocate website about LSU's collective

The problem isn’t do we have enough money. We do for the right players. We struck out on DT but I don’t want to throw high 6 figures at an average at best player because we got in a bidding war. You spend that money keeping quality players on the team and signing high end HS players that you can build a program around.

We don’t want to be like the Yankees and Gay & M, who throw big paydays out and then can’t make the playoffs.
