Kelly says no to 2 DLs that were out shopping for a big payday. I thought the SEC rant would respect that we aren’t going to buy transfers.

Instead it’s a mocking fest.

I just don’t understand this place anymore.

You get no respect after buying last year's and this year's baseball teams.

And I'm sure if you could you would buy all the 5* football players.

I respect it. But not sure it's the formula for success in the NIL era. I hate what college football has become.

I think it’ll pay off in the long run.

2 of our 9 starters are transfers this year, 1 being a complete liability on defense. I challenge you to find a team with less.

Last year was more of the same. Skenes and White were big transfer contributors.

Brian Kelly is taking a stand and making a statement. I just hope he takes it further and fields a team of nothing but walk-ons. Now that would be noble and brave.

Harsin didn't want to play the NLI game either. I'd be pissed if I were an LSU fan.

Is this his Les Miles’ “thick chest “ moment?

Really? Since when?

NIL discipline is going to be a key part of team chemistry in the locker room, if that matters.

No way Texas was going to pay Damonic Williams what he wanted w/ 4 seniors, including 2 transfers, already on the roster. He was never going to be more than a rotational player.

Harsin didn’t want to coddle a bunch of freaking agents and parents with their hands out. He didn’t want to even court the ego’s that come with the 5*’s, he wasn’t about to even try to play their game.

He thought he could come in, establish a solid work ethic and create accountability to build a competitive team. He failed to understand recruiting is a must at the SEC level and an unproven coach has to wade through a ton of shite talking, hand shaking and molly-coddling boosters to get the money in place to pay the talent.

I firmly believe we'll buy all the players that we can afford under whatever budget that may be.

Kelly is recruiting high school talent well, Harsin wasn't

Kelly may be selling something different, but rest assured the LSU NIL Collective knows how shite gets done these days.

Reality : LSU just signed the #13 overall player in 5* DL Dominick McKinley and will not be buying players like the two who just transferred to OU and Miami.

Gump fan : “Brian Kelly says he can’t recruit the defensive line!!!”

McKinley might be great. But to depend on a true freshman on DL in the SEC isn’t a good look.

Yep. He's our coach but he's not fooling many of us.
