The only 3 that would surprise me are 1) what you mentioned...Woodland more than Pickett. And the other two surprises would be S Green the DT and Strey the OT being the 6th and 7th highest paid players. Those guys aren't even supposed to be starters here.

I'm NOT vouching for those numbers but they are running quite the con if not accurate. There are numbers down to a single dollar AND they should be darn close because they match up pretty darn well with the rumors/gossip, and I believe Kiffin himself has confirmed LSU spent over $40 million in NIL this season. So pooh pooh it all you want...it is God damn close IMO IF not 100% accurate.

His seat is not even warm yet. HOWEVER, if he has another crappy season like this hideous display, it will be bunson burner time. IF what one poster gave a couple of weeks ago is his accurate SEC record, it ain't that great...a DECENT amount above .500. What makes him look like Casey Stengel is his 6-1 Omaha record. But he was a line drive away last year against Florida from not even going further in the CWS if not for an amazing catch by Pearson I believe in left field.

The pay chart is contained in an article where Lane Kiffin says that NIL has made discipline a lot easier. Since obviously players are professional now, they will be treated like professionals...don't follow rules or miss meetings, guess what...you will be fined. :cheers: Anyway, here is the starting player by player pay chart which personally I believe because it looks very reasonable and matches a lot of the rumors/gossip.

LSU football starters NIL pay

Probably need to watch {admittedly} highlights before commenting. 1) he had a great block in one sequence, stole the ball in a couple more, etc 2) he can create his own shot which LSU has had trouble with for years 3) many of his 3's are well behind the line (NBA 3's). I'm not sure using a football metaphor of "spiking the ball" without even watching the long video of him serves you well. And this guy wasn't on the LSU team last season. One of the worst arguments EVER made is trying to compare one guy against players that LSU had last season...100% irrelevant!

This isn't sour grapes because I have said this for years about these "crystal ball" guys...they don't know shite. I especially say that about Wiltfong because if he was right about Colin Simmons for months and months he would be starting his 3rd year for LSU football. Did he ultimately get CS correct to Texas...yeah, at the relatively last minute. I believe he flips more than any guy I have seen on his predictions. Maybe the players flip a lot also before signing...assuming that is true, then his or anyone's predictions 7 months out are worthless. Even commitments are worthless at this point.

Reliford has done nothing when he was healthy to say he would have been the best lineman. Goodman is too small for the NFL

I think you meant Gooden but we'll call that a typo. :lol: But you are flat out wrong on Reliford. Don't believe my opinion? How about Lane Kiffin? He specifically said during an after practice media session what a great loss that was when he got hurt in spring practice this year. I'll take my opinion and Lane Kiffin's over yours with all due respect.

Blame Kelly for a lot of things but your post was grossly exaggerated as to the worth of Perkins for example. And I don't remember anyone ever saying Anderson was a 1st or 2nd round guy.

The time I quoted was correct but it was technically at the LSU pro day, not the combine. But yeah, 4.55 is flat out slow for a WRer. And his vertical leap of 28.5" isn't anything to write home about either. Guillory for example had a vertical leap of 27.5". :lol:

Gooden was the best player on the defensive line last year

That isn't saying much. I do disagree some anyway. Reliford WOULD have been the best player on the DL but he can't stay on the field. 2 years at LSU and injured the vast majority of the time.

I agree with everything you said about Nussmeier...bad (AND slow) decision making...won't run past the LOS...deep ball inaccuracy...might have reached his ceiling.

Doubt it is an attitude issue as someone else suggested. I would throw in the issue with his spine as others have mentioned. Two guys that won't be nominated for the "Honest Abe" award are Brian Kelly and Nussmeier. They LIED big time all season when they said Nussmeier had no medical issue.
