He clearly states LSU has NIL opportunities. What he is not willing to do is get into a bidding war for a portal player that is purely approaching his visit from a monetary standpoint.


If you don't want it to be just about money, you have to sell the player on something else.

Failing to do so is more about the coach than the player. Blaming the player for taking more money isn't a winning strategy going forward for getting players in the future. It's an excuse for fans who are annoyed you failed to land players.

It's not the players job to come to your schools when you offer less. It's your job to convince the player to take less to come to your school.

When the player and his grifter of a handler only care about money, and ask you for more than any player on the roster or coach on staff (other than Kelly) is making in a given year, there's not much else you can do other than to tell them to kindly frick off.

If I didn't know better I'd swear BK is trying to bring expectations down at LSU. In the past, LSU fans wouldn't be trying to prop a coach up who hasn't won a natty. Rather, they would be pissed that they are not attracting much needed portal DL who are going to conference rivals.

One of the dumbest things I’ve read on this board

Plenty of portal players currently are strictly looking for a payday. Period, end of discussion. They may see this as their version of the NFL, even.

Do you even remotely follow recruiting?
