That’s a no joke!!! He did wonders for those two! They looked extremely better after Coach Hankton worked with them!

So if we offer $100,000 and they offer $250,000 a year - that’s not much more? We already show a low NIL average vs the top teams and Kelly already said he ain’t paying. Oregon and Texas are throwing massive money around. Massive.

Yup 3 star WRs from Destrehan never work out. Also, Francis is super good.

Name the last time we lost a coach or player to another school where we didn’t say that we were glad to see them go.

Top 3 teams of Georgia, Texas and Oregon, out spend us by a lot. We lost a few to Texas, who simply out bid us. It is what it is. Ffrench, Lockett and Phillips were lost to them. We are ranked 11th by On3 in NIL team rankings. Kelly came out and said he ain’t buying players last year and yesterday he said it was about the most money. Try again bud.

Bigger concern is he didn't coach anybody up besides Anderson who is a slot WR. Sampson, Daniels, Watkins etc didn't grow/excel.
His Wrs couldn't create early separation, only had one speed guy Hilton who made 2 catches all year in the last game. Very underwhelming on field and no big recruits.
BK will have mininum 2 or 3 new coaches...TE, OC and possible WR?

He’s got to pull in a number 1 receiver from the portal.
Also damning that no young guy stepped up this year - either talent evaluation isn’t good or he’s not coaching them up.

Earlier this year after the second portal window, he said they will not get into bidding wars. They have their price and that’s it.

Ok let’s. Other than Anderson who improved this year? What young recruit stepped up? There was clearly an opening begging for anyone to step up.

Dumb take. We got outbid. The kids love Hankton, but he can't control their NIL offers from other schools.

The man developed Nabers, BTJ, and Aaron Anderson. Kylin Billiot is next up. Kyren Lacy was a nobody. In his 2nd year here he had 550 yards and 7 TDs. In his 3rd year here he could have 1000 yards and 10 TDs with the bowl game.
In his first 2 full recruiting classes, he brought in 3 top 100 overall receivers. Name 10 schools that did better over a 2 year span?
I really dislike the cesspool of stupidity we have here. Man is literally losing recruits solely off of money that he has no control over.

Hankton slander can't be tolerated.
Be critical of the recruiting haul...sure, but Lacy is a fringe 3rd round guy bc of Hankton. Anderson and Daniels and Thomas all did well with what was given to them. To say that our WRs aren't being coached up is wild. Hilton was hurt. Sampson just didn't get balls thrown his way when he was on the field.
We had a 50+ catch / 500 yd TE too, so look at those WR numbers again, and you'll see plenty production.

You're not coaching up a true freshman from a track athlete in a few months you tard.
Daniels is a 5th year player who been hurt at least a 3rd of the damn season. Daniels' not producing to the transfer status has absolutely nothing to do with Hankton. Take that up with Nuss and Sloan.
Anderson is also far from just a slot receiver. Man has been used all over. You don't even know what the frick you are talking about.
Yeah Hankton is the reason why Hilton, who was hurt 75% of the year, couldn't get in a rhythm with Nuss. It's like yall completely forget chemistry is a thing with a QB and WR. Nuss overthrew a mega shite ton of passes that players had their man beat on. Hilton not timing jumps right isn't a coaching thing.

I’ll definitely give him Thomas. Thomas improved across all areas. Nabers looked like a future star before hankton even got to lsu. I’m sure hankton helped but it’s hard to point to Hankton and say it was because of him.
I would argue Lacy has barely improved since he got here. He’s the same player just more targets cause there is no Thomas or Nabers anymore. He didn’t take a step to being a number 1 receiver this year. He still drops some easy catches. Still disappears too often. Everything he did this year was the same he showed two years ago. Flashes, an exciting play here or there. A drop.
Anderson improved this year.
I’m not saying fire Hankton or that he’s not a good coach, but there are questions to be asked between recruiting and development.

That’s a lot of word salad to prove my point.
LSU pays. You can’t finish in the top 10 if you don’t.
You can’t sign the amount of blue chips LSU signed if you don’t.
The top 2 decommits went to teams who finished lower than LSU in recruiting.
The NIL numbers at On3 are completely made up estimates not based on any facts.
Do other schools have more NIL to spend? Of course. But LSU is in the game.

Was there? I look at a guy like CJ Daniels, who had a really nice year, and think he is leaving looking for more opportunities. I think we threw the ball the most times ever this year, or at least one of the most, so there were lots of opportunities.
Point is, I didn’t see at any point this year WR depth being a problem. We have guys that would thrive if they don’t have 5 people in front of them.
