I don't think anyone has any issues with what he said. I think most fans agree with it. However, when all we've heard is #NILSU for the last 2 years, it comes off a bit hypocritical... Therefore, yeah, we're going to pile on...
He didn't say they wouldn't pay players through NIL deals, in fact he said the opposite:
quote:
“If you’re just looking to get paid, then you’re looking in the wrong place,” Kelly said. “If you like all the things we do here … and having an opportunity for NIL, you should be a Tiger.
“But if you just want to get paid, this is not the place for you.”

OK, I admit, it doesn't really matter that Brian Kelly said those things about not taking a shot at trying to get players that only want to get paid, because it doesn't matter it it hurts his recruiting ability or not. He's just not a championship coach, so it doesn't matter if he gets those players or not.
But consider this, by average recruit ranking, LSU was 13th in the country for the 2024 class (for the high school recruiting rankings). In the overall transfer rankings, LSU was 42nd ... FORTY-TWO. That's probably not going to win a national championship, even with a pretty good coach, which LSU does not have. That's not going to win an SEC championship. If the SEC still had divisions, that wouldn't even win a divisional title.
Eleven SEC schools are in the top 25 of the 2024 transfer rankings, compared to LSU at 42. Three SEC schools are ahead in the high school overall 2024 rankings- GA, AL TX. LSU is at 7. Then OU is at 8, AU 10, FL 13, TN 14, but all these schools performed FAR BETTER in transfer recruiting. LSU is at point right now where it's literally in the middle of the pack of recruiting in the SEC.
