You Are What The Market Says You Are Worth

Period. Not what a coach or fan base thinks you are worth. Why is a small apartment in NYC so expensive and that same place in BR cheap? Market. Until we are willing to come to grips with that and pay what the market dictates we will not get players

Curious what Overton and Nolan got from their respective schools in the first window.
That would be interesting.

Thanks for the Econ 101 lesson, Professor. Except ~20 college football teams bidding on football players isn’t the “open market” and there’s strategy and other recruiting classes involved. This is auction pricing buddy, terrible analogy

Some fans can’t see the forest for the trees. Too lost in the weeds to make rational decisions

Some of us hold CBK at his word that we’d be competing for championships by year three. Ed O and Miles won one in year 3.

You don’t follow recruiting huh

I can’t help but laugh at the ill informed idiots that wanted to bring in a guy to be the highest paid player on the team that completely sucked when he played tough competition. That would have played well in the locker room for sure. You idiots can’t even keep the ice cream machine at MaDonalds up and running.

You keep saying this dumb shite. You go “hold” BK accountable.

This isn’t an open market

Except say you bring in this player for a hypothetical 2 mil and let's just say hypothetically Perkins makes 750,000. What happens when a player like Perkins refuses to play until he is paid his new market worth. Which if you are going to pay a 3 star dt 2 million. What would you pay Harold Perkins? Also before you say not playing hurts his draft stock, Perkins wouldn't have to play this year and still would be a high pick. OK so then you pay Perkins and whoever else makes a fuss, now you have less money to pay the next recruiting class which if you have been paying attention has the potential to be the best ever. It's stupid but this is the NIL era and rules need to be put in place ASAP. There is a reason TX and LSU are out because they are not desperate and building for continued success and future runs. Ou Miama etc are trying to make splashes to stay relevant. Way more to it than just market value.

What don't you understand about the situation? If they pay a scrub $1m, 84 other people will enter the portal in 8 months all requesting the same payout.

Not my job. Our AD will and should though

Then go after more realistic options instead of continually striking out. We could have gotten the Blidi guy for a fraction of what those two were wanting

I think you're being a little harsh here especially considering that an auction Market is pretty much the epitome of free market.

When did they start offering championships in the portal? That’s much easier than competing. Let’s just start buyin em thru the portal

Do you think maybe they came into a better situation?
Posted on 5/4/24 at 10:14 am to KyrieElaison
The market always dictates. When I'm selling a stock, someone is buying it, and we both feel good about our deals...

Definitely but there was no transfer portals in their eras. Their teams got progressively better over those three years too

Williams was asking for an amount that exceeded what most of our coaching staff makes in a year. He already had a very generous offer and tried to get even more. Not worth it. Build via hs players

Markets fluctuate with variables. Supply and demand. 4 months ago the supply of players was higher. Now it’s not and demand is higher. But that doesn’t mean OVERPAYING because of limited supply is a good investment. When you start overpaying for average players you run the risk of significantly raising the market value of real dudes. The dudes who are the difference makers. You also raise the market for your other average players.
If you want to argue LSU should have taken steps to avoid putting themselves in an adverse situation, I’m with you. But throwing good money after bad isn’t the way to fix it.
