Ricks is unproven talent like Harris was. BK isn’t over paying. Ricks had a price and like Heard did. LSU didn’t think he was worth said price given what else we’ve gotten and what more may come. It wasn’t that they didn’t want him, they didn’t think it was worth it.

Harris was at least playing at an elite level as a freshman, Ricks rode the bench after reclassifying.

Harris was a mid-season All American as a true freshman before his antics got him suspended. Ricks barely saw the field his freshman year. NIL for Harris was far more justified at the time of their respective transfers and I don’t even know if Harris got any.

With our scholarship numbers, we’re only taking guys that are all but guaranteed to start or contribute significantly in their first year on campus.

Ricks not evening cracking the 2-deep as a 5 star does not scream immediate contributor. Not saying he won’t pan out but we’ve got a lot of Louisiana talent coming over the next 3 years and we’ll need to manage our numbers accordingly.
