NIL and LSU

Our defense has more 5 stars than the offense. And yet…

Yes, start with 100,000 of LSU die hard fans donating $100/year. That would buy more than 20 bluechip players each year.

This has been said a bunch but I’ll reiterate it. We have money. Sometimes it’s about money and coaching relationships. Aggies, texas, and other staffs are raiding our state because Frank, Davis, and Hankton can’t do it all. Some other guys gotta start carrying weight. Those staffs are light years better than ours when it comes to recruiting.

The defensive coaches simply aren’t good recruiters. If Jamar Cain was here I’d bet we get McKinley. We currently don’t have a DL coach.

Steeples and Cooks are dogshit coaches and recruiters. Steeples has
no business as a high level D1 DB coach. Cooks was an awful hire from the start. OU secondary was awful and he was a terrible recruiter there.

Trust me there’s lots of proud Louisiana guys who care about LSU that are in the building or close to the program. You think they want to keep losing these battles? One thing some of you just can’t grasp. We don’t have the money to compete with those schools. We just don’t. I know it sucks to believe but it’s true. NIL is slowly drowning us.

Absolutely bullshite and false. We had two guys trying to one-up each other to the tune of $8K+ on fricking jello shots.

We have money and we have people ready to spend it. We also have a coach that has made it known he prefers to not get into bidding wars. The entire recruiting mindset need to change immediately and I believe it will.

Sure. We're not broke. But we don't have the money that Texas, aTm and UGA has available - across the board. For whatever, coaches, facilities AND NIL recruiting.

You don't have to believe that for it to be true. For every Jim Bernard or Todd Graves that LSU has, Texas (Austin) has 5 or 6 Bud Brighams, Michael Dells, Rex Tillersons, John Hankes spilling out everywhere. If a public university could be called a billionaire's school, UT is it.

Texas does not have "unlimited" funds for NIL. Christ. These dudes ain't cutting million dollar checks to 18yr olds. LSU will finish in the top 10 in every recruiting cycle form here on out. That's the baseline. Kelly starts going below 10 and you can say there's a problem.

As a season ticket holder id gladly donate 100 dollars a season to NIL. Just know that i expect a great product on the field and not the piss poor effort and terrible coaching i witnessed on saturday.

This is true. But do you think that all of that money is being thrown at 18 yo unproven talent in football? I find it hard to believe that these players are getting the money being mentioned on this board. And if they are, then I find it hard to believe a place with the resources, pedigree and rabid fanbase like LSU would simply fold on competing on player after player.

It seems much more likely that this staff just missed on some high profile kids in Louisiana last year and this year. Misses that wouldn’t have been so severe without the post 2019 dumpster fire that LSU football became.

Agree! Pay these players you want.. you are targeting them for one reason only and that is to win!

If you have to pay an absurd amount of money and you are winning and filling the stadium, it pays for itself and then some!

Winning cures all pain
