re: From BK’s interview yesterday, sounds like we’re not pursuing anymore DT transfers

Just to clarify, we’re mad that we didn’t pay a middling DT 2-3 times what we’re paying 1st rounder Will Campbell for one freaking season of play?

---

If you ask Draco and LSUTIGER8181 yes we should have emptied the war chest for two average DL with no better stats than Guillory and said frick you Perk, Campbell, Nuss, and Jones who are studs

I was commenting on #2 of your previous post.
Why is everyone here so defensive?

Huntington is a guy they are targeting actively.

Still after CJ West too, according to Shea. He's fair game until he enrolls.

When did I say that? We could have gotten other DTs for far less. Including one who visited, Blidi

Wow what a dumb fricking take. Bet you feel real dumb after LSU is in the top 4 of the GVSU guy and offered another DT from SFA.

Oops.

In that case, you might be right.

Incorrect. I’ve simply said that we should hold our HC to his word when he says we will utilize the transfer portal to get DT help then recognize they’ve failed time after time. What are we now 0-6?

---

We aren’t 0-6 and he will utilize the portal and sign DT’s. The highest ranked DT had 3-4 TACKLES against top 25 teams last year. Yet you and your baws want to pay him 1.5 million because you consider it a loss in your mind if we don’t get #1. Ill ban bet you whatever DT’s we sign has equal or better stats then the guy you’re so mad about that we didn’t sign.

I know CBK views the positions of QB, WR etc. like high paying NIL positions,

I know all coaches view QB like a high paying NIL position. And I've never seen any proof that he views WR similarly, but the NFL has certainly started to value them more. You can see that by how many were taken in the 1st round a couple of weeks ago. With all the 7 on 7 tournaments and QB camps, QBs and WRs are much more developed coming out of both high school and college. Still, I haven't seen or heard anything to suggest that BK values WR over other positions relative to NIL.

but the hard core truth is teams win championships with dominating linemen

If you can't see how much Kelly values OL, then you're just too stupid to continue talking to. I think he may even value it over QB. And Will Campbell is the highest NIL earner on the team, btw. I'd be surprised if Emory Jones isn't right behind him.

Trying to make noise with average linemen is fools gold.

Your metaphor makes no sense. Like literal sense. But more stupid, is that you're making the exact opposite point you're trying to. Y'all are bitching because Kelly decided not to give a bunch of "gold" to average lineman. He deemed it a "foolish" use of resources. I still think we offered Barrow what Campbell is getting, but he wanted twice that much. Giving him that would have been foolish.

Never make decisions that will have long-term consequences based on emotion or out of desperation.

How is it so hard to believe that a transfer from Kent fricking State might be a push compared to a guy on LSU's roster? If we was willing to come here for free or a little bit of money, fine. He's not worth dropping a ton of money on.

---

Exactly. It's a bidding war for a handful of average to decent guys. Win said war, and now you have to worry about ruining the culture, which can happen QUICKLY(see A&M).
