It’s wild how many guys use us for better offers.

I know I really only follow LSU and this may happen elsewhere but it seems outrageous how many times it happens to us.

New rules won’t stop anything. They can’t say that some millionaire can’t pay a kid $2 mill to shoot one commercial. The anti trust lawsuits that the NCAA folded to killed the sport. It’s now pro ball. At least the NFL has a salary cap.

Yea they’ll continue to “produce talent” too. Thats not saying much when you can just buy the best players.

I’m not even sure who to be mad at in this deal. Can’t blame the kids for taking money. Can’t blame fans for saying I won’t pay hard earned money for this shite.

The system needs to change or it’ll really just be a less talented version of the nfl with no rules around contracts or free agency

That’s more in the spirit of NIL than the current situation

I thought that he was going to make the collective work like he did with Ole Piss?

What's funny to me is that run that Florida is on after deciding to not fire Napier and the roll that they're on.

Only thing left for BK is to not lie to us about hitting the portal. If

Nope.

Texas has produced ONE defensive back higher than 5th round the past 10 years. He went 3rd round.

Texas doesn't fricking compare. This kid is stupid.

This is one of the reason why I don't do edits any more. A commitment before signing day is just a leverage technique to get more money

You're going to get massacred, but for what it's worth, you're completely right. These have simply not been classes that can reasonably win national championships. Tennessee gets away with it because they run a gimmick offense that teams see 0 to 1 times a year, and even then Georgia has pretty clearly shown what happens there if your defense is simply better than the guys in front of them vs that offense. I'm not entirely sure on who Tennessee and Florida have their eyes on, but they're close enough to us after the two sure thing flips that LSU can easily be the bottom half of the conference this year.

Brian Kelly needs to do something. This current approach of recruiting like the 8th best team (but really the class is equal to everyone's from ~6 to ~15) and then getting jack shite in the portal will never work. Justin Jeffersons don't grow on trees. Either do whatever it takes to actually hold onto 5 stars, or completely change the strategy, recruit lousiana, recruit the trenches, and use the portal for everything else. I'd prefer recruiting, it sure seems to work better from what we've seen so far, but bottom line is if the last 3 classes are the new norm, then South Carolina's year this year is going to be the future "good year" for LSU. You can't be middle of conference talented and expect to not lose 3+ conference games.

I’ve learned that the more downvotes you get from the masses the more truth is in your post.

It’s like taking bad tasting medicine.

Kade is from Texas and just used LSU as leverage for a big payday from UT. Better get used to the new game.

I mean we can also blame this on the coaches. They essentially did it first. Coaches have been switching schools for crazy money while the new school fronts the buyout from the old school. I feel bad for us as fans with the players lack of commitment, but honestly frick the coaches for starting this whole mess.

To be fair, Shea is just relaying information that he's getting from Emily which the coaching staff is told by the players. It's just 2nd and 3rd hand info

Blame the coaches ??? I thought when BK let Corey go when he first took
the job all you IDIOTS criticized him.Now that CR is back you blame BK
and CR from losing a commitment.Which is it hypocrites,you can`t have it both ways.Nobody but BK and his assistants knows what their plans are
and if they had anything to do with this decommit.Maybe they have an
experienced player they are getting ready to pay at his position for the same
money,we don`t know.BK isn`t as stupid as soime of you think.
