You can’t sustain high level success that way. LSU in state HS recruiting is elite and that is what Saban realized here.

I’m sure Saban has given Lane the roadmap for success

Yep. With the way things are you can flesh out a cheap base of great players from Louisiana then go big on the NIL for the feature pieces. He's going to be crafting teams that not many can get anywhere near. He'll have a top lineup of QB's and recievers and running backs and depth at all levels of the defense because this is going to be THE hot roster to be on. He's going to make sure it's viral and self feeding.

Exactly and you know that eventually NIL and transfer portal will hopefully become more restricted. Thus, high school recruiting will be more important. Where else to better recruit than that best high school football state in America!?

It already is starting next year. Every NIL deal over $600 will have to be approved by a clearinghouse headed by Deloit. NIL deals will only be approved based on the value of the contract to the provider. OM is cooked

That’s cute that you think that’s an Ole Miss thing and not just the way that Lane Kiffin likes to do things. If you think you are hiring somebody who wants to bust it recruiting high schoolers then you are in for a real surprise.
