It seems we’re still getting beat out by the big money schools. They can throw cash at whatever, we can’t


This is such a tired take that it's almost comical it is still being repeated. LSU is not hurting for money. They just spent a ton of it getting the coaches they want. They also flipped several guys from the aggies who were one of the biggest spenders around. You think they decided to come play for a discount?

Look at the upcoming recruiting class, you think any of those guys decided to ignore the dump trucks full of cash and come play for the love of the game at LSU? Not getting into a bidding war over players obviously playing both sides is far different than not wanting to spend money.

I think what he meant was we arent just throwing money everywhere like some schools do.

Dezz Ricks was simply a case of a guy we were interested in but he wanted a much bigger bag than we were willing to pay and told him not interested. We can pay for some guys, but we arent going to overpay for someone if that makes sense. We are not going out there especially and competing with the absurdly high offers going around like someone Caleb Downs would get.
