re: The criticism of Brian Kelly is interesting
Posted by Shaft Williams on 5/10/24 at 11:56 am
Saban has been criticized too over his opinions on pay for play players since he's retired. Any multimillionaire coach will be criticized for being against player compensation in any form. And, honestly, as a Capitalist, I'm on the side of the players. ...

A lot of people forget how UW was rolling under Don James and what Peterson was building there before his retirement. Peterson would've eventually won a natty. ...

[quote]When the player and his grifter of a handler only care about money, and ask you for more than any player on the roster or coach on staff (other than Kelly) is making in a given year, there's not much else you can do other than to tell them to kindly frick off.[/quote]

If I didn't know better I'd swear BK is trying to bring expectations down at LSU. In the past, LSU fans wouldn't be trying to prop a coach up who hasn't won a natty. Rather, they would be pissed that they are not attracting much needed portal DL who are going to conference rivals. ...

[quote]UGA is rarely the top bidder for players. We can probably sell the chance of winning a national title better than any other program in college football at the moment. Even so, we rarely get players other than at positions where we can sell playing time as well. In the last transfer period 8 o...

[quote] I think Richt was a championship caliber head coach, the cards just never fell his way.[/quote]
What you’re describing isn’t a championship coach. A championship coach has his players mentally tough so they execute in pressure situations and they can overachieve when they’re not as talen...

[quote]Absolutely no way.
LSU was at #7 in the 2023 Team Talent Composite, Miami was at #12, Ole Miss was at #23.
Impossible to make up that much of a difference in one offseason.
Overall 247 Composite Recruiting Rankings for 2024 (transfers and recruits):
6. Miami
9. LSU
17. Ole Miss[...

[quote]Talent, facilities, recent success[/quote]
Facilities mean little due to NIL. This is why Ole Miss pivoted and stopped putting funds to a stadium refurbishment and put the funds toward NIL. Miami at their greatest never had great facilities.
Talent. In-state recruiting is going to be t...

[quote]Versus going to Miami or somewhere because you got paid.[/quote]
You got to also remember it's more fluid than ever to become elite. Miami is already putting together top 10 high school recruiting classes. If this portal class puts them in the playoff this upcoming season it will be worth ...

LSU fans talking about their high school recruiting are not serious people. All of your high school recruits won’t pan out and some will leave. You will have roster holes that you need to fill via the portal. ...
re: Kelly says things not going well on defensive line recruiting
Posted by Shaft Williams on 5/8/24 at 12:17 am
For the life of me I thought LSU would go after Walter Nolen and Trey Amos. They didn't go after either one and they both play positions of need for them. I think BK lacks a strategy on the transfer portal when it comes to defense. He needs to hire someone to handle the portal for him and give them ...

Williams may be rotational at Texas. At LSU he’d be their best DL. Venables said he believes OU was one rotational DL away from a playoff berth. OU went and got Williams. ...

Just like Saban, it’s not just the money, it’s the having constantly reassemble your roster and not having program guys in the system 2/3 years to learn your brand of football.
