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.

2.2 million, I know the round numbers were a mistake

1.25 is overpaying him. He was rated out as in the 30s last year for defensive line college coaches. Football scoop hyped him up because they are bed with sports agents.

. Then he should have recruited better. But let’s look and see if that’s reality(LSU Dline depth chart has 4 of the 6 as upperclassmen transfers)

And shockingly, they all had NIL deals before going to LSU and all got paid via NIL at LSU.

So save the sanctimonious bullshite. LSU would pay if they could, they couldn’t so the didn’t and running crying about “We OfFeR sOmEtHiNg DiFfReNt At LsU” is disingenuous.
