Are you paying attention? Kelly can sign a full class of incoming 5* freshman, but they will abandon ship for the highest bidder next year. It’s the new reality, so play the game or get left in the dust.


All players don't go to the highest bidder.

In fact, a lot of them don't. There is still something to traditional recruiting, you better offer a competitive NIL package too though.

Now see... he was specifically talking 5* and you turned it into "all players." That is the only way your "a lot of them don't" has a chance of being true. Vague challenge is vague.

The problem was and is that Brian Kelly didn't send out a qualifier on what he meant. That seems to be your job. The National News Cycle picked his comments up in a flash and now Kelly might have a PR problem. At the least, he will be explaining this to future portal candidates.

Kelly may not be Dabo with the way he pushed himself into a NIL/Transfer corner but he can't say he's not bidding at LSU when he's bidding at LSU.
