Agree with everything he said... Just doesn't seem smart to some to say it. You have to attract certain mentalities and attitudes to win. Looks like he's just weeding out undesirable mindsets

His comments are being taken out of context, as usual by this board.

He's simply saying they don't want guys who are just about money:

"We were in the market in recruiting in the transfer portal, looking for defensive linemen," Kelly said, according to WAFB's 9 Jacques Doucet. "It hasn't fared very well, quite frankly. Because we're selling something a little differently and that is: We want to recruit, we want to engage, build relationships, develop, retain, and have success.
"We're not in the market of buying players. And unfortunately, right now, that's what some guys are looking for. They want to be bought."

"If you're just looking to get paid, you're looking in the wrong place," Kelly said.

"Money first" guys never work, look at A&M's "best class ever."
