re: Kelly says things not going well on defensive line recruiting

We can find common ground that UGA/LSU are not trying to "set the market" for players. But I promise you that both schools will when they feel pressed. Both schools will when the supply and demand economics dictate it.

I don't disagree with you, I don't think schools like Georgia and LSU are going to significantly outbid everyone else simply to get a player to sign with them.

They aren't going to try to get in a bidding war with a school like Ole Miss because quite frankly, they have more to offer than a school like Ole Miss.

Now if a kid is getting a $700k offer from Ole Miss and Georgia is only offering $500k, will they make it a little more competitive?

Probably. That's a little different than simply trying to pay the kid to pick your school though.

Giving the kid fair market value isn't the same as money whipping him to sign with you. Brian Kelly is just saying he isn't interested in the latter.
