BK needs to realize to be elite that we must bid up players now. Back to back seasons with 9 regular season wins is fantastic after 2020 and 2021. However, if we’re taking that next step, we can’t keep trying to get one year rent a player in the portal. We’ll need impact freshman. Really need to pull in a few 5 stars before signing day somehow someway

I think it’s funny you think the coaching staff doesn’t know this.

It’s odd how we apparently have the $3+ million needed to secure Underwood, but can’t spend a few hundred thousand to lock up an elite CB or DT.

I like his strategy and the path we are on. Offense developed sooner than than a defense that had some unlucky bounces; dline coach to brain aneurism, starting senior safety to. Brain tumor, potential starting corner in jk j to season ending injury before season starts, and two misses on corner transfers. If the man chooses to stay away from kids chasing nil, I’ll stand behind that based on what he’s done so far

I don’t see how people can be concerned about if we have money when we’re the favorites to land the number 1 player in the country in 25. That isn’t cheap I’m sure.

We have the money, Kelly is just picky about where he uses it. That’s not really a bad thing, as annoying as it can be for fans.

Aggie money running tight as they just ponied up 75 million for a coach to sit on their arse. We’re paying BK 100 million for 10 years. If you think we don’t have money, I have news for you….

Plus what’s stopping bk from using his own contract money to buy players. Just “donate” a portion to TAF and boom…god knows Matt house’s salary should’ve been taken anyway and given to Colin Simmons

Yes, A&M proves every year you can’t win without buying the best players….

Bama and UGA prove it works. It shouldn’t be a free for all but for some guys you have to bend the parameters.

How much money do you donate?

People love to spend other people’s money.

I don't mean this is a snotty way but I rather doubt the people saying how much NIL money matters and needs to be spent have been putting their money where their internet mouth already has been.

I agree...college football has changed. If you wanna be elite you're gonna have to pay money to get the elite guys. Simple as that...Georgia spends the most money on recruiting and they are on the verge of a 3 peat

I wouldn’t give a fricking nickel to NIL. I disagree with the entire concept on principle. But I also don’t complain about it, or bitch about other people not donating.

Maybe because it's not a money thing. Maybe it's because HS recruits are tuning in each week and saying "yeah, I don't think that staff knows how to build me into the best that I can be". And they'd be right.

fire House immediatly and start making the necessary changes.
