What we just saw is why you can’t suck in recruiting.

It why it’s a big deal Dominick McKinley is going to a rival

It’s why it’s a big deal Wardell Mack is going to a rival

It’s why it’s a big deal we have zero elite dline recruits

This staff lacks elite recruiters and until that is fixed we are going to continue to get embarrassed.

Don’t worry, everyone will come downvote you to say it’s okay and we don’t need them.

We will fill those spots with 3 stars and transfers who couldn’t play at their previous schools

But but but, 2* Justin Jefferson and 3* Clyde Edwards-Helaire

I’m not a stargazer, but Elite recruits matter.

Have been downvoted for months about it. BK is an average recruiter and so it his staff. This will be a failed experiment in a couple years

Especially for a state that produces elite recruits at such a high clip. Wanting to run a program with all high character players who are lesser athletes who all graduate is fine but those teams will always end up falling short. Perennial 2-4 loss teams.

The truth is to be championship caliber Kelly is gonna to have to roll the dice on some elite recruits with questionable character & do the best to self police within the program with the staff & leaders on the teams.

The transfer portal worked better for FSU then for LSU. Congratulations to FSU for playing with heart and achieving a great win for their program. Coach Kelly should now respect you guys a little more after the butt kicking you guys put on my fighting tigers. I will always love my team and expect greatness in the long run for the LSU football team. The FSU will to win tonight was simply too much to overcome. LSU must continue to recruit the best in-state players and dip into the transfer portal for helping the team. I wish year two had started better but I really had too high expectations for coach Kelly and his staff especially after LSU won two National championships in other sports.
Geaux fighting tigers.

Definitely need more difference makers. Whether it’s HS or Portal, FSU had way more dudes who impacted the game than we did.

I couldn’t believe the amount of transfers starting/playing a lot on defense. I mean what happened to anyone we recruited to play in the secondary? Laterrance Welch cannot be worse than these corners we’ve got out there

I said I was worried about his graduate first motto when he was hired.

All anyone does on this board is repeat alignment and portal.

"Jelly is so great for not spending nil money"

"He will just fix it in the portal"

Well you saw tonight what his portal guys got you.

While Florida state landed elite players out the portal like coleman, verse, and cypress, lsu went bargain shopping.

I saw a depth chart last night of our starters and contributors on defense. Full of 2*, Division 2, and Sunbelt players. I can understand a few, but this is LSU coming off of a SEC championship game appearance. FSU beat us in every recruiting battle this past offseason, the DT, Cypress at CB, a TE, and Kelly said he didn’t need Coleman.

Yeah it was pathetic. BK only gets top 10 classes because he relies too heavily on filling starter sports with mediocre talent in the portal. His staff can’t recruit or coach. The players we do target in the portal, we don’t even land.

BK’s inability to recruit and assemble a roster has been baffling. This is not a talented football team

Yes. LSU and more specifically, Brian Kelly sucks at recruiting. The narrative that it’s difficult to recruit at ND was a myth, obviously. He just doesn’t give a frick about it. Nor do Denbrock or House.

We’ve got 3 coaches that look like they give a shite about recruiting at a high level. Wilson, Davis, and Steeples. And all of them consistently frickING WHIFF on recruits.

Fla State has not been ranked nearly as highly as LSU in recruiting over the past 5 years
