Is it purely NIL related? Is BK now going to rely on the portal?

Most of the season, BK preached about building through HS recruits. Now it seems to be falling apart. Sure, high school rankings aren’t everything and not every recruit works out, but what gives? Does BK simply not believe in paying kids and now he won’t end up with his guys after all?

The last few weeks from a recruiting standpoint have been shaky. Losing multiple 5-star recruits. People jumping in the portal after BK publicly announcing to the media player would be returning

It will be very worrisome if BK fails to excel in the transfer portal in b2b seasons

Technically, he said all indications pointed to him returning.

No one ever fully knows what a player is going to do though, if we'd all keep that in mind, we'd have a more enjoyable experience.

This is how it usually goes with lsu recruiting .

Hopefully they have some flips of their own. I usually don't count on it.

I'd rather be like ol miss and do the portal route. You pay the same amount of money for a player, but at least he has the college experience

exactly - entering the portal means just that - can't blame kids for shopping around - would be stupid not to.

Most of the season, BK preached about building through HS recruits.


He’s already said they will be very aggressive in the portal. They wanted to initially build the roster with HS recruits & now they can “afford” to pay to fill in the gaps.
quote:

“We'll be very aggressive," Kelly said.

"I think everyone that follows us knows that we weren't very aggressive in the transfer portal. We put together a defensive line using minimal resources. We have really put ourselves in a position, and I'll use this term loosely, to stay well under 'the cap' so that we could be quite aggressive this year. We will be very aggressive in that area, as well as bring in 16 mid-year players." "We think that the program, in terms of the culture and the standards, are such that we can do that now. Where we can bring in 16 freshmen and maybe one, if not the largest transfer portal classes as well."

If moscona’s numbers are correct and we offered the dude 800k per year and still got outbid, we’re living in a clown world

I have many complaints about BK but some of this shite is just the product of the current landscape

Players entering the portal don’t state their destination, so how do you know where they’re flipping to?

Talking about high school recruits.

A few have flipped away from lsu. None have flipped in.
