Let’s sign 7 mediocre, at best, WRs in the portal again. Hope they have at least a couple with glue fingers that can get open too.

LSU didn't pay for proven portal WR Coleman and I don't see them paying that amount for unproven Royal. Use that money on OL and DL maybe a great edge rusher.

I want Royal, I think he's a beast, but you have to run college football programs like NFL teams now. You blow your salary cap on a WR and leave holes throughout the roster, you aren't going to succeed.
this cannot be argued

Turns out that not paying players absurd numbers is a good way to keep prices from escalating.

We need OL. Teams that overpay WR don’t win it all. You can look at NFL history and see that.

OL. DL. QB. Pay for those. Those change games.

The best lineman in cfb don’t go into the portal because the schools they’re at do everything they can to retain them.


We’re to a point where any player with any value would be an idiot not to hit the portal every year and get his max contract . It’s ridiculous but that’s what makes the most sense in the current circus we have.most of these guys max earning potential is in college now whether they realize it or not.

Lsu should be paying only guys ready to play immediately except for rare exceptions.

I hope he goes far away....not worth the financial risk for a player who has never seen a college field.

Let him go, no way you pay 1.6 million for a HC player. Spend that money on a Edge rusher and OLinemen in the portal.

I don’t think Kiffin’s track record is bad, but you came to lsu to land the best, not to put together a budget room of players every year.



Identifying, signing, and developing a WR into a first round pick is a HUGE example of extreme success.

I'm not sure how you could expect more than that.
