Do you honestly think we're not paying players big money?


lol do you think it’s a coincidence teams are coming for our players? Texas, Michigan, FSU, Bama, etc. all know LSU is no longer the big kid on the block

Our roster and commits will get cherry picked by the elites and we will try to win with the leftovers.

You laugh but they beat LSU on the field, in recruiting, and in NIL

If Kelly is serious about winning titles he’s going to have to change course on a couple things. One of them being getting into bidding wars for elite talent.


Better adapt or get left behind

It does when you get outbid in the portal too

The transfer portal is the only thing that can offset the craziness of pay for play and keep parity in the game. That’s why BK knows he has to lean into it more.


One of the problems with falling back on the transfer portal is you can get outbid there also (see last year and before).
Sure there are problems with recruiting the high school ranks, but some of the same problems come with the portal, and some different ones as well.

Need reforms on both fronts (NIL and portal), because it’s really a combination of the two that have been the biggest problem IMO

and went 2-9 this year. Can you imagine your bitch arse response if LSU went 2-9 after blowing their wad on NIL?

Just imagine what it’s like for us older guys who have been following LSU recruiting since (in my case) Archer. I even went to the recruiting bashes during DiNardo’s tenure.
Subscribed to the national and some state recruiting magazines before the internet. They had rating systems and were the precursors to On3, Rivals, ESPN, 247, etc.
Geez, I’m old

Kelly better figure out a way to up our NIL game because he’s getting his arse handed to him on the recruiting trail.

This kid was already “committed” to Texas before and then “committed” to LSU to get Texas to throw in a new Lambo and more $$$. Then once his agent and family were satisfied with the payout he quickly went back to UT as expected.

I think Kelly does get it, but he’s having a hard time finding boosters and alumni who are willing to ante up the NIL game. The fact of the matter is that we simply don’t have as wealthy of an alumni base as some of these other schools.

With that being said, frick Texas and their trash arse program. I hope they never win a national championship ever again.

Do you not get that LSU has limited funds compared to Texas and aTm who have oil money and Lambo dealers willing to throw Un-Godly amounts of money at these families so LSU has to be more selective who they pay. Kelly can only work with the money he has. Texas and aTm have oil tycoons, Michigan has that a$$hat Portnuts and the billion dollar princess, Oregon has Nike money. We have Gordon and that’s about it.

NIL is crazy..

Revenue sharing will not solve the problems.

The SYSTEM is broken.

It's crazy that LSU is the only team that's had guys flip in the last day. Not Miami, Florida State (who we're about to get a flip from), Auburn, USC, UGA, UNC, or a plethora of other programs. I'm sure you have your ear to the ground of those programs, right? Your view definitely isn't jaded because you're an LSU fan, right?

Also, I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that the players other teams are coming for are 5 stars. It's just pure coincidence.
