Who ever said LSU will be depending on a true freshman?

OP said “Kelly says things not going well on defensive line recruiting” because he’s a dumb frick that swears he’s not worried about LSU.

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.

Saban bought players when it wasn’t allowed. Now that they allow it, he quit.

No one’s buying what Blake Baker and his sidekick are selling ?

I’m shocked. Stunned even.

Brian Kelly said their defensive line recruiting did not go like they had hoped. If you are upset about that, you need to take it up with Kelly, not the OP.

Paying Walter Nolen makes sense.
Paying Damonic Williams more than Nolen is just silly. That’s the problem with schools who don’t know how to play the portal game.

That's about all these pathetic SEC Rant Virgin Geek Trolls know how to do. It's really pitiful.

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 a great deal of autonomy.

This is a lie. That TCU DT who went to OU made it crystal clear he was leaving TCU to get more NIL money. His handler publicly said so. He wouldn't have visited Baton Rouge without a nice offer on the table.

LSU may not be buying players but that is only because they are trying to buy players and are failing.

I just don’t understand this place anymore.

It's a mocking fest among the children and the haters and ... haters gonna hate.

I suspect that many of us respect BK's position on the matter and more are hoping that all coaches will take s similar stance and help to end the disingenuously mercenary behavior by the teenage kids, their agents and families.

It's outta control.

It’s gonna be funny when all these teams continue to lose despite doling out record amounts of money

Do teams keep paying to lose games or will that money dry up?

He not saying he won’t offer NIL. He’s saying that he’s not paying for transfers who are just shopping for the highest bidder.

Bo Davis may be the #1 developer of DL talent in all of college football.. but for some reason, he hasn't been a great recruiter.. I don't quite understand the why behind that.. but that is the reality..

Of course, that may change going forward..

Dom McKinley is going to be a good one.. and I believe he would be at Texas right now if Davis was still here..

Is a Sister fricking tide fan talking down to someone for buying a player?!? You inbreds practically invented the practice and have been doing it for the better party of the last two decades.

Are you out of your freaking mind?

This is a line of scrimmage league.

The best players want to be paid.

Plain and simple. Anyone here, especially if you are coming from a poor family like most these kids are would want the same.

Your dline under BK will be soft as shite as long as he's there. He just confirmed that to you publicly with zero shane and had the audacity to try to spin it as a positive.

Yeah good ole BK who kid a killed just wants to keep it so wholesome right? How dumb do you have to be to be okay with that?

LSU fans....cringe.

I don’t agree with that. You need to be able to buy players. Take a look at A&M and Miami. Their performance on the field has been mediocre lately and they’ve been able to buy several highly ranked recruits that they frankly have no business getting. If they weren’t offering the biggest bag, a lot of those recruits would’ve give those schools the time of day since they’ve been mediocre. But they’ve realized that in order to compete, they need to outbid everyone else.

Heck, we saw some of that with Oklahoma during BV’s first season. They had a losing record and they got a phenomenal recruiting class. They had no business getting a lot of those kids, but they knew they had to buy them to compete.

If you don’t go all in with NIL, you’re making a mistake. Michigan doesn’t really pay HS recruits, but they were fortunate to have an elite talent evaluator in Harbaugh who hit on a lot of 3* and low 4* recruits who other schools wouldn’t go overboard with NIL over. They had some top guys flip because they wanted to get paid. I suspect they’ll fall off a bit. Another school in a similar position is ND, who doesn’t really pay HS recruits either and have had several elite recruits flip because they want NIL. Clemson is being hurt as well because Dabo doesn’t believe in buying players that hit the portal.
