Give me 3 and 4 star players that love the game and the school over money hungry ones.

Real shite. Its not like LSU is offering them nothing. We're talking the difference between 800k and 1 mil.

That's penny pinching at that level of income. frick that. Its not about getting mom a good house because she raised you at that point. Its just about making more money.

Guys like Burrow who come in here and wear a special jersey for the school and the fanbase are the ones you want.

Ole Miss is the BEST example.

I fricking love BKs approach honestly. This team beat Ole Miss, a team full of some of the best money can buy.

Offer what you can, and if they use you as leverage, dump them. More time spent on a kid that was raised with better values.

Seriously, the team LSU is building will be better suited to weather the storm of whatever limitations are put on this NIL shitshow. We aren't playing into it.

I'm not gonna claim to know more about football than the coaches paid to do it. The whole damn team was a mess when BK got here. If you didn't see the improvement from last year to this year I don't know what to tell you.

Use the portal , sure. But don't waste valuable time in a bidding war.

Statistically proven 5* and 4* are inportant

These are stats from an era where a hard commit meant something and you had to earn the money.

A hungry 5* 10 years ago looking to get to the big leagues is not the same as a 5* with guaranteed millions.

ETA: guaranteed millions before they even play a down.

Nah, BK is making the right call.

If that’s your approach, then you’re really going to hate the guys we bring in from the portal. We aren’t going after LA kids that couldn’t sniff a powerhouse offer out of HS anymore.

Like I said, use the portal . Just don't waste time in a bidding war.

If one of these 5 stars gets injured they have absolutely no incentive to get healthy and work hard for it. Just opt out. Why not? You've got your millions in the bank already.

You think if Underwood has a season ending injury that he won't just opt out and sit on his 10 mil? Think about it.

We need hungry guys. Like Nuss.

Not normally. There are usually ramifications to the deal and “millions” is a stretch.

well to start, it was more than $10mil but it was over 4 years. If he were to get hurt and opt out, he wouldn’t get anywhere near that.

These NIL deals are not signing bonuses. The majority are stretched over years and are paid out in installments. Some exceptions sure, but I don’t anticipate the Underwood situation becoming the norm.

Without some sort of limitation or cap it will absolutely become the norm.

That’s a sound strategy if you never want to compete for a championship again.

A 25% raise is a pretty significant increase.

give me a stud QB even with an average defense and you see LSU fare much better than they did this year.

Same thing last year.


They are pretty damn close
