They said no to LSU because LSU doesn’t have the funds to get top guys nor the staff to coach up guys in their price range. They blew too much on gymnastics, and women’s basketball. It’s a budgeting issue with a coaching issue for funsies.

If LSU was standing on principle and not seeing big (relative to sport/game) NIL deals then sure, fight the hood fight. But 2 million to get Daniels from ASU? Nabers got half a million, etc. makes Kelly a hypocrite. When they had money they spent it.

This is dumb on so many levels.

First you say they don't have the staff, Bo Davis is recognized as an elite DL coach in CFB.

Then you say Jayden Daniels got $2 million, not even true.

Then you talk about Nabers, a Tiger who got paid. Kelly has said several times that he'd rather pay proven players on the team vs random transfers looking for a bag, which is how it should be.
