Brian Jelly has done wonders for LSU. 9 win seasons are exactly what y’all need.

Alignment is occurring on the LSU campus and in the football program.

The 39 scholarship players has been proven to be not true.

What Brian Kelly did with LSU's roster situation is essentially the model any major program with a coaching change should follow. DeBoer is going to have to get in the portal like a dumpster diving raccoon any time it is open.

Kelly eventually got his traditional recruiting leveled out with an exceptional class this cycle. However, he was definitely prioritizing "this year" roster management focus in the portal in his first two years.

It's a very similar hire in terms of resume.

Which is hilarious because a lot of Alabama fans constantly bash BK.

Notre Dame fans are about to discover what kind of coach they loss when the afterglow wears off and they're stuck with coach best friend who the locker room wanted.

No doubt.

Freeman took over a team with one loss while BK took over a team that was .500 and they have essentially the same record since.

You had 39 available for the bowl game because of injuries and opt outs. Continue the lie if you wish.

I mean we've had this discussion before, I broke down the roster for you and my numbers are backed up both the 247 team talent composite as well as the numbers of players taken in the portal and recruiting class.

There was only one player that "opted out" of the bowl and returned the next season and I believe maybe two that were injured and didn't play.

With 52 scholarship players returning, the new staff was then able to build out the roster through high school signees and transfer portal additions. With 25 new signees already inked, and seven more spots remaining to reach the 32-man signing cap, the Tigers are now up to the 77 scholarship number listed above.

39 available for the bowl game.

Maybe another 15 players that were on scholarship for the bowl game but did not participate.

14 of the bowl game participants played their last game as tigers in that bowl game.

So yes, Brian Kelly did inherit a roster with fewer than 40 players.

I thought this was going to say "Don't grind with recruits on social media"

From the article you linked hammerhead

quote:

As for the roster, the Tigers had to play the Texas Bowl earlier this month with 39 scholarship players, but the new staff has used a combination of the transfer portal, high school signees and a number of draft-eligible players returning to help build the roster numbers back up ahead of the 2022 season.

That article is just wrong.

LSU never had 85 scholarship players in 2022, and we signed 32.

He hit the 10 win mark on the heels of Orgeron decimating the program and leaving him 39 scholarship players.

If Deboer can’t get Gump U to 10 wins right after Saban, you either have to be very concerned in his ability, or you must acknowledge that Kelly is a much better coach.

This one’s gonna be tricky for yall to navigate after shitting on Kelly for two years.

You didn't break down the roster. After the link was posted you said you would go by what you were told and then you disappeared from the thread.
