He said they paid a 2nd round guy $1 million and has stayed. We offered a 2 rd round guy (mason smith) $500,000 and he left. We offered 1/2 of what they offered if all this is true.
Also, a current dl recruit has been offered $850,000 so you can imagine what Stewart from st. Aug is gonna get offered but BL says we don’t “buy” players.
Not saying either approach is right or wrong.

This has been so overblown. In context, he was simply saying we don't want to have a situation where we take guys that don't really want to be at LSU but we paid them so much to come that they couldn't turn it down.
Now if you wanna be at LSU for all the things LSU has to offer and the NIL is just part of that appeal, great. But we've seen what happens when adversity hits, which it always will, and a guy is only at a school because they dropped the biggest bag. They become locker room cancers and hit the portal quickly anyway.

Why would a 2nd round guy stay in college for a million dollars?
He’d make 3-4 times that in the nfl

Masson Smith’s signing bonus alone was 3 million, why the frick would he have stayed in college for 500k

quote:if he was considered a first or 2nd round guy, he didn't stay for the money. He stayed to win a championship and/ or graduate. You can't be dumb enough to think a guy that's about to get at the minimum, 6.3 mill, at the max, 9.9 mill in the 2nd freaking round, would stay for just a "measly" million dollars. I'm not even going to talk about a first rounder staying for a million
