Heart is Greater than Cash

I put this in another topic but felt it deserves its own thread. When the game/season is on the line the player with the heart will rise above the one playing for the cash. NIL may lure talent but it will also motivate selfishness. Heart is selfless. We are getting the players who want to wear the purple and gold. That’s who we want. GEAUX TIGERS!!!

I agree, heart can be just as good as ability. Just look how lsu improved when a lot of starters went out. Anyone with a chip on their shoulder works harder. You have to find the guys who are great and want to continuously improve.

Cash will win you 10 numb championships in 20 years.
Heart may win you 1 historical championship in 100 years.

You can have heart.. and wait for it.. get paid accordingly.
Stop acting like NIL is some evil force. Iowa State has a ton of heart. They’re never winning a damn championship EVER
It’s almost 2022. This isn’t fricking Hoosiers. You need the most talented players to win

Agreed but that seems to be a dying breed

You have obviously never seen the movie blue chip.

Morally yes. But these kids arent thinking about that when you're offering them more money than they and their families have seen.

That’s why Bama is getting their shite kicked in?

There are some things that more money, fame, and national recognition won’t buy, just like some things are worse than dying. Everyone is free to do what they want but for a kid who grows up a big LSU fan to go to Bama seems sacrilegious. Would be like going to join the Chinese army for me.

I think the usual formulation is whether motivation or talent is more important.
College athletics is a different animal, but in general I think the conventional wisdom is motivation is greater than talent, but motivated talent is the best of all.

If heart is all that matters then just hold a tryout and pick the team. The guys willing to show up to the tryout love LSU the most and the ones that try the hardest have the most heart.
Lsu fans with a mid-major mindset is cringe. Even after all of LSUs success people can't break the battered syndrome.

Hmm, then why do the best recruiting teams win year in and year out?
What was the last national championship team that didn't average a top 10 recruiting class over that 5 year period leading into the natty?
I'll have to deep dive into that when I have time. Got to work on setting up a graduation party for my son, got his degree from LSU yesterday!

Agreed. Those kids playing for San Diego St, Tulsa, and New Mexico St are the real winners here.

Just cuz these kids are taking money doesn’t mean they have heart…they’re just making sound financial decisions

Ever hear the phrase, good guys FINISH LAST...
YOUR POST, always a bridesmaid, never a bride...
TAF will come up w it's own foundation, meanwhile people will overpay for endorsement money early on, and that's reality, until there's firm ground...
sort of like buying a car you want and PURPOSELY OVERPAYING FOR IT, when in reality, the best money is spent on a USED CAR W LOW MILEAGE....
Now think of the 5 STAR ATHLETES, people are OVER$$$$ing it, w NIL OPTIONS...
Perhaps the stronger focus for NIL is on the 4 star athletes (not as much money needs to be spent) and you can steer in more athletes with more money to spread....
But for now, it's the wild wild west

Cash is going to be the name of the game going forward.

OP, this is naive, olden days talk. Here you have agents involved in the negotiations, and they get higher commissions with higher NIL fees. How much does their "heart" have to do with anything, especially when dealing with today's mommas & daddies? Now, according to talk radio,LSU has never lost a La. kid to the portal, but that's a whole different matter & the portal is still wide open, till Feb. signing day at least.
