Brian Kelly’s high school recruiting is picking up nicely; transfer recruiting is abysmal

Jalen Lee, Duce Chestnut, Denver Harris, etc. have all been major disappointments. It looks like we are going to swing and miss on every DT in the portal this year despite that being a desperate need and the cupboard being totally bare. Florida State gets Keon Coleman, Jared Verse, Braden Fiske, Fentrell Cypress, and we get scrubs.

What needs to change in order for us to be more successful transfer-wise? Is it totally a money problem or a coaching problem?

Is it abysmal or is he not willing to pay absurd amounts for a 1 off?

You are forgetting getting the best player of the portal era Jayden Daniels.

It’s so weird to get beat out by OU and Miami. What is this the late 1980s?!?

People with your line of thinking are so short sided.

“Oh no! We are going to miss on the DT’s. LSU is unwilling to pay. BK is dumb, etc”

Do you ever step back and think that LSU isn’t shelling out money for mediocre DT’s this year because we are saving it for our banner HS class next year?

What was the name of that kid that won the heisman. I can’t remember if he committed out of high school or was he a transfer.

I don't think we are 1-2 DTs away from being a contender. Kelly was out front saying he did not want to build the team through the portal and it's insane to pay what the apparent price is for 2 DTs that before the portal no one heard of.

Maybe we would have made the playoffs with them. Maybe we do anyway, but we still don't have the talent or depth on D to get to the NC unless we have a miraculous improvement on D which is unlikely. Keep the 25' class together, develop the players we have and add some more key pieces and Kelly has the foundation for a championship run.

What dumb and close minded thoughts. Because we didn't get the DT out the portal, just negate all the other portal wins right?

Also, unlike Miami and Oklahoma, we are looking at trying to land #1 classes back to back, and that requires SERIOUS dough. We can probably cough up 500-600k for an okay at best DT, but when you're talking 800-900, even a mil for a DT when we're trying to land top 10 overall players at the same time, you must be crazy.

Also, we will have to go the UGA route. Recruit high school heavy so when you go into the portal, you're topping off the tank, not in dire straits. Give it two years. IMO, the true next championship run will be in 2025. The hope is to make the playoffs this year. And hell, we never know, McKinley could turn out to be a freshman phenom. Not likely, but got damn it's better than what yall are doing.
