I think it’s BS

Florida doesn’t have more to spend than LEU, so if he goes there then Sumrall just beat Lane

If he goes to Texas I’ll believe the money was the difference

The Fong has spoken. I like him to LSU in the end. Very Chase like. If my failing memory serves, JC "committed" to Kentucky(?), then decommitted, then committed to FL, just to decommit and commit to the good guys. Drama -- yes, were finances involved - im certain, worked out for all involved in the end - absolutely.

Except for the other school/s involved, didnt work out so well for them lol.

CLK came to LSU to recruit HS talent and not have to rely on the portal. That being said he's been extremely shrewd those far at getting who he wants with what he has to offer, and then getting the most out of those players.

This doesn’t disprove the point. If you want to take advantage of the LSU community then you can. If you want to make decisions to ruin your life then you can do that as well.

And if you want to go out of state to play and come back & be successful after football, it’s easy to do that too.

Maybe. It’s probably far easier to be successful in the state relying on your LSU contacts, though.

I have always had a hard time with the Louisiana kid waiting till the last minute to commit. It just seems like a no-brainer for the kid to be all in for Lsu. We have the right coach. We have the right scheme and I am glad that if true, we have topped out on our offer. Roy will be successful no matter where he goes but outside of football if he continues to live in Louisiana, he would be much better off choosing Lsu. Not to mention it’s easier on his mother and Ken folks to come to Baton Rouge. So if he chooses Texas or Florida, so be it. I wish him success, but I think he would be making a mistake not choosing Lsu.

We’re talking life changing money. He’s negotiating to do what’s best for his family.

Yes it is. He has all the physical traits, the intangibles, and the mentality. Plus he has the tape to back it up.


He will not be the best receiver in the country the day he steps on campus.

Don’t be dumb.

He will be a top 10 receiver in the country by the time the first game comes around. Book it.

Anyone one team can overpay on a single player if they want to make a "splash"

He won't be the best WR on the team next year, Corey Barber will, but he'll have a good chance at making an impact.

I like Corey barber a lot, and Philly, Jabari Mack will also be very good I think.

But I truly believe Easton Royal is generational. Like Jamar chase territory.

There are so many good WR’s out there, that this doesn’t bother me. Breaking the bank on one WR position makes no sense to me. We’ll have a bunch of great receivers to choose from. Elite QB, DT and Edge rushers are a a lot harder to find imo.I know WR is paid near the top in NIL, but we’ve had so many great WR’s at LSU that were only 3 or 4 stars. Let him go make more money. That’s apparently all he’s after anyway.

Moscona heard that a guy who is friends with another guy who has s maid who overheard another guy say that he thought…….
Consider the sources!!!
Our last bid will be just before early signing day and not before. The last bid is the best bid.
And we have 9 figures in our football NIL budget.

Made up.

If they want to run a salary allocation model like the NfL like they say they do, then you pay the WR.

They all want more money. He just so happens to be one of the best players to ever come out of Louisiana, so his number is rightfully higher. It kind of sucks that adults vilify him for this because he is a great kid.

He is.

We need find a way for this board to treat him like they did Harlem Berry
