re: The criticism of Brian Kelly is interesting

LSU is playing the game along with everyone else. What they are not doing is agreeing to pay a random DT in the spring portal 3x more money than their All-American LT who's projected to be a Top 5 draft pick next year. Once you do that the flood gates open and everyone else on the roster is looking for more money. If they don't get it, they transfer.

I added to my post on edit and it is pretty much exactly what you said.

I think the thing it makes you, as a coach, most focused on is making sure you almost never get in a "we have to grab a premium portal player at this spot or else we can't compete" position. Because there isn't a good answer, there.
