But they aren’t recruiting well out of state either. Just doesn’t make sense as to why Kelly isn’t doing better on the recruiting trail this year.


Maybe we are finding out what Bill Polian did at LSU…

Kelly was never an elite recruiter, LSU was never going to recruit like they did under Miles or O

Kelley is not known to be an amazing recruiter he is known for developing a team of good players …. LSU will have enough athletes to compete obviously .

Why do you start stupid threads with no basis?

OP is well known for his sad takes.

I guess the positive is that he does try really hard.

He'll hit top ten with regularity. Top five occasionally. He's not known as an elite recruiter.



I am very happy with Kelly, but if there is a legitimate gripe to be had, it may be this one. It is only year 2 and while it is indeed a down year in Louisiana, I would like to see us be top 5 annually. Time will tell.

I think folks are still upset about how he popped off to that poor reporter girl who was coming from a doctor's appointment a couple of minutes late to one of his pressers. That wasn't a very good first impression for a new coach. It gave everyone the opinion that he has a bad attitude and not a very personable personality. Maybe that's filtered down to the players as well. No one wants to play for an insensitive arse-hole. I wouldn't...

It's not surprising. In the long term, schools in poor states like Louisiana will struggle in the NIL era.

Recruits get money from
A$M before transferring to LSU to win.

I believe we are still about 6-8 under the 85 roster limit with a lot of seniors leaving




Limits are off this year and next. Teams can take as many as they wish as long as they stay at or under the 85 limit. This is where LSU can make up a lot of lost ground.

Look at what he has done at Notre Dame. Zero championship at Notre Dame and will end up doing the same thing at LSU.
