re: “Lance Heard evaluating his role at LSU” per Kelly

A Player doesn’t start immediately and has predatory coaches back-channeling them to transfer.

Not saying it is the case here, but coaches say player representatives reach out to schools as well. Uncle Ronnie says he speaks for Jimmy and Jimmy wants 5,000 to get him to campus for a visit when he enters the portal after the season.

Sooo, he wants to play … so he doesn’t play.

Nice

Renegotiating his NIL. If these kids want to get paid like adults, they should be held accountable like adults. Make them sign a contract.

And make them pay part are all of their “free scholarship” depending upon how much of that crap nil money they get. It’s a two way street, boys& girls, so buckle up and enjoy the ride and you’d better hope that the no good irs doesn’t start digging into your nil funds.

This is what's going on with Lance Heard IMO. Other schools have notice the embarrassment of riches LSU has in their offensive line. Another school(probably SEC school because they have watched a ton of tape because of film review when preparing to play LSU) has offered him a lot of money and guaranteed starting spot because tackle is going to be a position of need for said school next year. Its a good sales pitch because obviously there at two all american tackles in front of him for a least next year.

This is a problem for all parties involved because LSU going to have to decide to pay him. But if they do, it doesnt stop there. Whatever the number is, LSU is going to have to pay the other two starting tackles on the team that or more. This is all of sudden becoming very expensive. Lance Heard is basically deciding how much he loves LSU and believes in the process of just waiting your turn and being a high draft pick one day.

Hopefully everyone can come to agreement and Lance stays.

Because it's not LSU or Kelly paying the players, frick it man...

let it play out...

I am done hearing about guys getting stupid kinds of money for riding the bench or never playing a down...

get out here in teh real world and pay taxes...raise a family who has to pay all kind of dough to put our sons and daughter through school and if we're lucky enough to have an extra 2 grand to come to a game, well lucky us!

the kids are out of control...

Say what you want about coach Kelly getting 10 million, he's got 35 years of working hard to get that kind of pay

we're talking about people who are not old enough to vote holding coaches out to dry "pay me or I walk"

if that was me, I'd say son, do what you need to do... you accepted a scholarship and you're getting money that millions before you didn't, and they made CFB great...and here you are with your hand out...I am the head coach not a bank,

you can't beat out Will Campbell, because he's great! - so he's the guy until injured or leaves for the NFL...

Pretty soon highschool freshman will be collecting Checks. Should we start focusing on Jr High for pure football?

Or Will Campbell has got a year on you and hes going to the NFL after next year and then the spot is yours. Or with another

I wouldn't lie to a kid that way, no way in hell anyone is taking WC's spot.

Even if Kelly's comments explain the situation, why would you not travel and play with your teammates?

Some of yall don’t realize it’s not always the athlete himself. Sure he’s an adult, but mom still has a lot of say so. Not saying that’s absolutely the case here, but can we not bash the kid until we know all the details. I know Lance loves being at LSU and this is not about being guaranteed a certain position.

If he develops over the offseason and comes into fall better than Will, he absolutely should take over that spot.

Play the best.
