Kelly's Recruiting Pitch Not Resonating?
Posted on 6/14/22 at 10:13 pm

First and foremost I love "Graduate Champions". I don't believe the most recent coaching staff's focused on the benefits of an LSU diploma. I believe preparing them with skillsets will benefit them if the NFL does not come calling.
HOWEVER, I wonder how well kids now respond to this idea. Recruiting has now minimized to a basic pay to play (with NIL), and the focus is the fastest trajectory to the NFL.
Assuming most of these kids do not care about a diploma, is this hurting recruiting?
(PS. Its a great possibility that we are all being reactionary...its June)

Parents are apart of the recruiting process. You sell a family.

Honestly if they’re going off fastest trajectory to the NFL they would be flocking to LSU. Former LSU players has made the most money off of NFL contracts than any other College Football team.

Maybe the fast track is to the money (why recruits initially went to NFL pipeline universities)

It's 99% money. We recently bought out tens of millions of dollars in coaches.

It's not going great so far. LSU has zero top 100 recruits committed and no top Louisiana players committed.
As you said, it is only June and July could see a flurry of commits.
If we get through July and the elite recruits are still not jumping aboard, then it will be time to hit the panic button.

People that will always end up poor chase the quick and easy money. Nothing wrong with recruiting smart players. Probably would take some time but if you build a culture of young men that think decades ahead you won't always need the most athletic.

You think a coach’s recruiting pitch even matters anymore?
I’d bet that the only pitch elite recruits listen to is the one that gives the most “NIL” money.

The kids who just want the NIL can jump in the University Lakes.
Those are the diva groupies like Ricks that needed to go.

Lol. That won’t ever win in the sec. If the goal is to recruit the same players that were at ND, than we are royally fricked.

I think it’s just coach speak. He’s not telling them in recruiting visits the same thing he tells to the media.

Not having a top QB seriously interested is troubling. We’re running out of options…fast. The top QB recruits jump really early these days. We’ve had several come to campus and none stuck.

we’ll see if everyone is singing the same tune come September. We can either pay up and be in contention or take some weird moral high ground and be middle of the road in the SEC. Posted on 6/14/22 at 11:21 pm to Shadowlink

You do realize that "apart" means "two or more people separated by distance", right? Sounds like every 18 year old's relationship with his parents to me, in any event...

I’m just so angry and honestly shocked… I mean I knew the NCAA was inept but I never dreamed they’d do something as asinine as allowing immediate transfers and NIL all at once.
The bar was set pretty low, and yet they managed to play limbo.

OK. All you wizards worrying about LSU recruiting please listen up.
LSU has 5 commitments.
A&M has 5 commitments.
Bama has 4 commitments.
Florida has 5 commitments.
Do you think that all of these coaches are not getting their message across?
Texas Tech currently has the number 2 class in the country with 20 commitments.
OK get your Calendar out and take note that, IT’S FUKKING JUNE!!!

How many top 100 recruits are actually committed to anyone at the moment? Probably not many. And most of the ones that are are likely in the lower half of that group. We have a similar number of commits as the typically top recruiting programs. It’s early. Let things play out.

Imagine being stupid enough to believe that recruiting rankings in June (when Northwestern, Texas Tech and Cincinnati are all in the top 5 and Alabama isn’t in the top 30) actually matter.
