Back in the old days the environment yesterday would have scored some commitments. Now it is how much are you gonna pay me. Sad state of affairs.

Hence the heavy push for the save sports act yesterday on the gameday broadcast. Salary cap, sort of

And a legal framework to reestablish eligibility rules.

I’m in 106 just a few steps from where all the recruits and their families sit. A group of student workers hold up signs that say recruit seating or something like that. Anyway, it was horribly unorganized. You had well over 100 people trying to come up the stairs from the field to rows 40-50 section 105
No one knew which row to sit in and no one told them where to go.
Several of the families that made it to the top of the stairs first sat down in the 3 or 4 seats on the aisles and started playing with their phones, completely ignoring the fact that people needed to get by them. Basically Refusing to stand and let the other recruits pass.
10 minutes later the game started and they still were not all seated
If I was a recruit it would turn me off to stand in a line that wasn’t moving for 10-15 minutes.
Someone up top needed to take charge and direct people where to sit but you can’t really expect that from a bunch of student workers holding signs
I’ve had my season tickets there for 4 years and this was by far the most unorganized I’ve seen it

Some of these dumb kids take the money to go elsewhere over a school that is a known NFL pipeline. With that being said, the atmosphere last night was unreal. Made me feel 19 years old for a bit. I think the recruits got the show of their lives, got to meet Justin Jefferson (highly paid in the NFL) and concerning the NIL, LSU can spend with the best of them.

For the bag chasers and their families….Pennywise and a pound foolish.

It still can sway a commitment, It is now just a smaller piece of the puzzle.

That's part of it. It really has been for some time on bigger commits; it just makes negotiating the final number easier now, with it being legal and open.

Still kinda the wild west, though.

For a number of reasons, including this one.

What doesn't have anything to do with money is that there were 17 NFL teams there, scouts & GM's.
