re: The criticism of Brian Kelly is interesting

He echoed many of the same sentiments that are posted on this board daily, he stated that LSU is not interested in players who are simply looking for a fat paycheck.

quote:
"We were in the market in recruiting in the transfer portal, looking for defensive linemen," Kelly said, according to WAFB's 9 Jacques Doucet. "It hasn't fared very well, quite frankly. Because we're selling something a little differently and that is: We want to recruit, we want to engage, build relationships, develop, retain, and have success.
"We're not in the market of buying players. And unfortunately, right now, that's what some guys are looking for. They want to be bought."

quote:
if you're just looking to get paid, you're looking in the wrong place," Kelly said.


The board blasts him for having the same opinions they do.

I think you grossly misunderstand the opinion of the board. The opinion of the board is that NIL and the transfer portal are ruining college sports. They have no problem with their school engaging in the practice as needed.

Kelly saying that was a stupid thing to do and will hurt his recruiting efforts. He may have said it because LSU actually has a limited NIL budget and can't afford anyone else right now.
