I dont care if the kid wants money and gets paid

My question is, do we think this kid is worth over twice as much as Cam Newton?


Efficiency is key to a solid roster

Yep. As was mentioned, these OTOP guys have been right on their sourcing a few times in the past (not that it means they're right here). But let's say its true... if Gilbert was asking for 400K when he's a little bit damaged goods, how'd he end up at LSU as a prized recruit in the first place?


I think UGA and LSU fans should be content to leave well enough alone on that topic.

The first half of that was about how Alabama flourished in a scenario where it was very hard to cheat this past recruiting cycle.

Ah. Forgive me. I thought you were being coy and now I see that you are just stupid. My mistake.

Wouldn't that likely mean he went to LSU for a lot of money? I guess we already knew that.

I think there is a lot to suggest with how this past year’s recruiting cycle went that the assertion of cheating from the also-ran program fans might just be projection.

Hard to cheat when all contact is being done on something that can be recorded. No chance to construe ways for bagmen to “bump” into guys. Can’t show the recruits a “good time” around campus after the game.

Are you under the impression that LSU didn't pay for him the first time

LSU fans are taking this harder than I would have expected, and I expected it would go badly.

This thread is a much better experience when you view it through the lens of LSU literally just firing an assistant on. The. Spot once it's compliance department found out about his shenanigans

LOL I got downvoted into oblivion for suggesting he was asking around LSU for just $100k

Stop comparing UGA to Alabama. They are not the same. Only UGA fans would even use them in the same breath.

I don't. Who says LSU paid him? If there is proof, and idk why anyone would make a claim like this without solid proof, then bust his arse.

Holy mother of God , are you saying teams like lsu ,or just lsu even,pay players and georgia doesnt?

Im here to tell you. If lsu is paying players,or if any other team is ,then kirby is.

So that would mean that people like burton, that flipped to georgia from lsu , did this even though lsu would pay ,and georgia wouldnt?

Come on dude thats just silly..theres not a coach pulling players over other good teams and not paying for that said player. No matter who it is.

Tldr for top ten ype programs, its either everybody pays ,or nobody does. Its just not possible that only lsu pays. Coaches are maniac competitors they arent given anyone else an advantage by doing it the " right way"
