It actually isn't, you just don't like the way it's framed.

It's bullshite on multiple levels.

Brian Kelly was hired at the end of November, not January. All those who transferred did so after he was there. They could have stayed and played for BK, and did not. So either BK let them know he didn't want them, made no effort to keep them, or they just didn't want to play for him.

And everyone always counts the next years class. I didn't make that framing, it's the way it's done. And it's within that same framing that you are trying to claim 39 and that's why it's bullshite.

When people start claiming they were down to 55-60 scholarships every single year instead of counting their incoming classes, then I'll stop claiming it's bullshite. Until then, it's a bullshite stat that only LSU fans cite as an excuse for his underwhelming results.
