ok BIG scott, where is the NIL to an important piece moving forward? Chest is a Mcnugget recruit. Chest isn't a transfer, he came here from HS so he wanted to be at LSU. If you cant keep this guy, get rid of the coach and yourself

Time to flex this new NIL money. Keeping g great players should be first priority. It’s hard to replace continuity. That being said, they have to have the want and be team players to some degree. NIL has changed that entire concept for the worse.
