Yes please, why are we not throwing money around like UT, UGA, and OSU? Are we really lacking that much in NIL?

No longer with the team. We have depth at safety, but Downs is a top 10 pick type of talent. You do whatever you can to get him here

It seems they have money but aren’t going to throw it around unless they think it’s deserved. They set their numbers and let it play out.

Throw all the money at him

He’s worth every penny

This. He was arguably the best safety in college football as a true freshman. Instant impact guy.

Agree, Is this what we're coming to in this new era, process your least talented safety to bring in the top rated safety? Unbelievable

People are saying 1.5 million or more. Is he worth that kind of money?

I would be more interested in us investing that on an elite DT, DE or LB. I want our emphasis to be on a havoc wreaking front 7 that pressures QBs into making mistakes.

How much would you have paid Laron Landry, Tyrann, or Grant Delpit?

He’s that level of an athlete


I get what you are saying. I'd rather spread that 1.5 mil around and get a few impact players.

The lsu defense needs more than 1 elite guy. I just don't think they are close enough to go after downs.

LSU definitely does not have the NIL that those schools have, that's just reality.

But its also Philosophical. BK seems to believe in spreading it out a good bit and getting a team.

Can’t see us spending big for a Safety right now. If he was a CB or DT I could see it

Lol I remember LSU was the first or one of the first schools to actively promote NIL with the "NILSU" videos and banners in Times Square, etc. in 2020.

The only P5 school in the state but according to the rant, LSU don't have money like that or its some of you guys favorite line ... "bK IsNt gEttIng iN aNy bIddInG wArs"

It's 2024, chief. This makes YOU look like a clown, not your target.

This is the type of kid you throw the bag at. Extremely talented, no character problems, at a position of need, and will immediately make any defense better. They were calling this kid Minka Fitzpatrick part 2 before he even touched the field.

As a true freshman he led Bama in tackles (107) and solo tackles by 30 (70) and also had 2 pics and a punt return TD.


However I 100% believe he's Ohio St or UGA bound.

If your whiny, begging arse would come out of your pockets with some money, maybe we could. All your posts come off as A.I. generated. It's like you put in, "whiny bitch", "Kelly can't recruit", "where's our NIL going", and let the bot do the work.

He's from UGA. His coach went to UGA. I don't see how it's not UGA unless it's an unreal amount of money?

Wrong, he may be one of the few in the portal worth the money,
Imo the Best DB in the SEC- could be best arguably in the nation

If you’d told me at the beginning of the NIL era LSU would have 0 chance of getting players of this caliber out of the portal I would say your crazy. Especially a DB….But yea….LSU has 0 chance lol
