Solid addition. Lots of question marks due to lack of playing time, but that's the same as bringing in a high school recruit. Required by Raymond twice, so I'd like to think he sees something in him.
People fail to realize he inherited a depleted roster. He's been trying to fill gaps the last three years. The QB and lack of run blocking is a huge issue. The defense lacks depth and a below average safeties. The team is a decent QB from being a 1 loss team. Those critical of him should look at Florida St.
As much as I'd like to see him at LSU, if the the rumors are true that's a substantial amount. There are no guarantees he will make it to the NFL. If he is truly as talented as he appears, then he would get drafted from any school he plays at.
It's NIL. It's not being paid by the university. It's absolutely no difference than endorsements of professional athletes. When the Supreme Court ruled amateur athletes could be paid of NIL, the market sets that. If Nike is willing to pay a college athlete 50 million, then it is what it is.
While I'm not a huge Kelly fan, fans are unrealistic. Look at Florida St. Kelly has put together solid recruiting classes. Nuss is not the answer, but what other option does he have? Sark has Texas money. Bama and Georgia both have an extremely talented roster. The SEC is loaded with quality teams. The defense has several average players and the QB is average. If LSU closes with the class it currently has verbals from, it will be a step in the right direction.

I’m in a keeper. Kept Bijan. I will be 4th pick with Hall and Taylor still left. WR left Lamb and Wilson. I’d love to get Hall, but don’t think he will be there.
Was in Pittsburgh for a conference. Sat behind the Pirates dugout. He had a great game. Busted his arse at first base trying to beat the runner.

Not one single true national contender has average quarterback play and no running game. Daniels is a below average passer. I think he probably looks great in practice against our secondary.
I can't disagree that it was his first game at a new position. The issue was that he seemed totally lost. Prior he was playing off instinct. He appeared to be overthinking during the game. That should improve as the season goes on.

I would go with it seemed the whole team quit including the coaches.

The question is why did he stay in after multiple drops? It's not like they lack backups at that position.

The team had several glaring issues. Daniels does bring a threat of the run, but he is so limited in downfield passing that the defense doesn't respect it. I'm not sure I saw a throw with any receiver in stride. It was all comebacks to the ball. Multiple times I saw receivers telling him to put air under the ball. If Daniels the best we have, then next year will not meet expectations either.

Drive the price up. Makes it more sweet when they still suck.
Went to Pittsburg a few months ago. I don't blame him.
They are closely related currently. NIL can't be controlled because it's not within the power of the NCAA. It's a contract between a company and an individual. Same as pros and their endorsements. Programs have to adapt. One issue that can be corrected is the transfer portal. That needs addressed.
It's the first year for the coach. The previous coach left the team in a poor position. They seem well coached, but lack true scorers. Allow this coach a few years to recruit players for his system. Purple glasses fooled people into thinking this team would be anything other than what we are seeing.
Never! It's simple supply and demand. There will always be a market for the elite players. Why go where there is multiple strings attached, when someone else is willing to give you the same or more with no strings. It's a bidding war with some deep pockets. This has been happening forever. It's just in the open now. Opening it up with NIL only made it worse because now the people that didn't want to risk negative publicity from the behind the scenes crap are now all in.
