Damn that ended up being a lot more longwinded than I wanted. Meant to be my two cents, wound up being two dollars. Inflation is a B.

It hurts to say this, but the LSU roster both in terms of top of the roster impact players is below, or at best comprable to every team on that list.
In terms of overall depth of P5 level talent, we might be close to a few on the list, but are at the bottom.
The good news is the rules around both transfers and allowing signings past the prior 25 "cap" to the overall scholarsip limit should expidite improving the talent level.
Will be a "young" team, but by year 3, if the staff does their job, the talent will be there.
Now what does irk me is the penalties, the miscues, and the poor execution of fundamental skills and concepts. Part of this can be chalked up to a team with a lot of new parts inexperienced as a group... but it needs to get better between now and a$T$m. It is one of those foundational culture aspects that we are supposed to be establishing.
Also I will say that out of that list:
Fisher's 2021 extension makes it almost impossible for a team to sign him away, or for Aggy to fire him.
Tucker's name coming up for jobs was mostly about negotiating an extension. I dont think he seriously entertained leaving.
Riley wants nothing to do with the SEC. Zero.
Stoops was possible, but I there was no splash there. It would have been a "meh" hire.
Napier was possible, was a hot name, and displays the charteristics of a successful coach. He is also unproven as a bigtime coach and could easily flame out if not immedieatly successful. His hire would have probably been met with equal parts excitement and outrage.
Kiffin splash hire, big name, big personality... controversy though. Given the already public shitstorm around athletics in general, and the under the radar stuff that has emerged since, I dont think a guy seen as a loose cannon was going to be the hire. He exudes "underdog" coach to me anyway.
I also liked Matt Campbell and even with Iowa State clearly down this year I like what he is building. That said his insistence on valuing the development of successful young men over win at all costs mentality, and building a program on that foundation as being more important than championships... he would be booed off campus at his first post-loss press conference.
Dave Aranda... I will admit my dream was having Aranda as HC/DC. Him bringing his old friend (the deservedly humbled)Tom Hermann as OC, with Joe Brady as passing game coordinator(and assorted honorifics to add some shine to the job title). Alas, I dont know if his thin HC resume kept him from being our first choice, or if something in his time here soured him on LSU... or if he just really likes Waco. Either way his name being out there just served to get him a lucrative extension.
Kelly has all the traits needed to be a NC coach at LSU. He will need to adapt, he may eventually need to replace Denbrock, but at the very least he needs to get a fresh voice in the room. He has said before that he and Denbrock work together on the O and adapt and change it as needed... well IMO they have worked closely for so long that their line of thinking is unlikely to diverge enough to come up with novel solutions... so they need a talented offensive mind, with enough confidence to challenge their POV and inject new concepts or at least differing strategies into the conversation.

You do know that the most recent nationally reported statistics on incidents/100k population had Baton Rouge and New Orleans neck and neck on murder/manslaughter, robbery, and assault right?
BR blew NOLA out out of the water (in a bad way) on property crime.
Of course St Louis had a murder rate greater than the sum of both...

re: NIL and Contracts
Posted by crzycjunx76 on 5/20/22 at 1:29 am to MakeLSUgoodAgain
There could be some contract language to make it harder to leave.
Could offer a one time payment up front, but it is earned in equal installments over 4 years.
For the player to earn each installment they have to show for regular public appearances or to shoot commercials at pre-arranged times and places. Contract obligations that would be hard or impossible to achieve if living far from the site in question. If the player leaves after their second season, they would owe half the origional payment back, as they would not have earned it yet.
Obviously not going to stop someone from going to the draft as a day 1 or 2 pick... but could reduce some of the early transfers.

re: Can non scholarship athletes get an NIL deal

NIL really has nothing to do with the NCAA. It was a court decision. Basically the athletes own the rights to their name image and likeness and could profit from deals using those and the NCAA could not prohibit it.

Post season is not as impactful for guys that see pros in their future.
If they see playing time, coaching that will develop the skills to get them drafted, and gameplanning ability to make them shine for scouts... then they will stay. If they think the system will not fit them, the staff will not develop them, or they will fail to see the court enough, then they will go where they think they cam get what is best for them.

I think it is more talent evaluation than recruiting at this point. You need some charismia, to sell your vision to the player, but in the world of NIL EVERYONE can recruit like Wade.
So what becomes important? I would say the top skill for a staff is player development. Showing that players you recruited improved in the areas they needed to to get drafted higher than expected when they signed with you.
I would then put the ability to gameplan and the ability to evaluate talent as the next two most important skills.
Obviously you still have to cover all the "coaching bases" on the staff. In game mgmt, roster mgmt, etc. Still need to make inroads with HS staffs in your core recruiting base(Region/AAU)... but I would say player development, talent evaluation, and gameplanning would be top 3.
Of course I neglected one thing that may be bigger than all of the others. Setting culture. The culture has to be absolute, set from above and so pervasive that even eith heavy roster turnover it persists. Players are going to come and go, in a world with the free transfers, GLeague, and a literal world of alternate paid leagues... players with the talent to play pro are not often going to be around long. NIL may keep a few around longer than they might have before, but outside of some role players who accept pro basketball is not in their future, these kids will do what is best to advance their future.
There is also the matter of facilities, the PMac is a part of this, but I think a bigger part is training facilities. Pro teams have been working with motion capture tech for some time, giving a digital breakdown of players movements and positioning for evaluation and correction of bad habbits. "Shooting Rooms" have started popping up, where a players shooting kenetics are evaluated in real time and corrective actions are relayed.
If you want to pull talent and maybe even keep them past a season, you have to show them that the coaching and resources to improve their game are at least close to what they would have in the G-League.

re: Woke Pro Bowl Put Me to Sleep
Posted by crzycjunx76 on 2/7/22 at 12:54 pm to Tenntig
First of all, the ProBowl has sucked for as long as I can remember. These guys barely practice together, dont have much time for playbook/scheme, and no one wants to get hurt in a truly meaningless game. For some of the players heading to free agency in particular it is a risk.
Like another poster said the skills comp is more compelling.
The NFL still holds it every year because... money.
Just name an All-Pro team, have a skills comp, and be done with it.
As yo the "End Racism" banners, im trying to decipher what could be so offensive to your sensibilities about ending racism. Maybe the fact that recent reports suggest that Goodell and the league only pay lip service to the battle against racism, and are just sweep it under the rug on their own orginizations/league unless they are exposed and have to make an example.
If the hypocracy of the banners is the issue, im with you.

This is why you are wrong.
NIL deals are contracts.
How about these terms on a 1mil deal:
-Exclusive rights to players NIL for 4 years
-1mil paid up front, earned in 4 250k/yr installments
-Player must be available at studio at a specific location and times (in say some college town somewhere), to earn the installments. At the end of 4 years any unearned installments must be paid back.
Now if the player wants to transfer after just one year he owes 750k back 3 years later and his NIL rights are still held so he cannot sign another contract.

That has always been the case, i mean many will get degrees... but the universities and NCAA raked in billions and, at least officially, the players just got a discount coupon to the company store.
Hell, if the athletic dept could pay directly, they could give every LSU scolarship football player a 500k annual check and still pull a profit in the sport.

Prediction, after the 4th at the soonest, before the 13th at the latest.
Our bowl is the 4th
The CFP ends on the 10th
The NFL regular season ends on the 9th
and the current dead period in recruiting ends on the 13th.
I have no stress or concern over CBKs timeline or silence on this matter.
If we pass the 13th without coordinators introduced I will stress.

re: Should college football reinstate the “one-season sit” rule for transfers?
Posted by crzycjunx76 on 12/15/21 at 1:53 pm to 0x15E
How about something conditional.
If you transfer before your third season at a program you have to sit a year. After that you dont have to sit, but can only do it once.
Outside of that I would include exceptions, and these would apply even if someone had previously transfered.
No sitting between divisions FCS, JUCO, etc.
No sitting for graduate transfers.
No sitting if leaving a program during the year that they lose/fire/retire the Head coach.
No sitting if transfering in the year a program gets a bowl ban or other major sanctions.
Also with NIL, I think eligibility needs to be revisited.
First NIL or something like it had to happen.
Anyway, with the MLB draft, if a player does not get picked high enough or does not get an offer they like they can return to college.
I am not sure what the barriers would be in Football(and basketball), but having the same ability to return and imorove their stock would be good IMO.
