I've seen it mentioned (rumor mill) that it takes $10,000 cash just to get the big dogs to even step foot on campus. In other words, regardless of where the prospect ends up, it' $10grand just for a coach to get a sit-down.
I’ve read the exact same
it is disingenuous to take Kelly’s words here and twist them
He clearly states LSU has NIL opportunities. What he is not willing to do is get into a bidding war for a portal player that is purely approaching his visit from a monetary standpoint.

If you don't want it to be just about money, you have to sell the player on something else.
Failing to do so is more about the coach than the player. Blaming the player for taking more money isn't a winning strategy going forward for getting players in the future. It's an excuse for fans who are annoyed you failed to land players.
It's not the players job to come to your schools when you offer less. It's your job to convince the player to take less to come to your school.

It's about overall value, not just the money. Every program has things to offer, and money is part of it.
If some kid wants to go to App St and give up all the other value for a large paycheck, then it's probably a good thing if that kid goes to App St. It acts as a filter for the kind of guy you likely don't want.
However, when you are talking about recruiting against programs like Oklahoma, then the value outside the money is not that different. At that point, you just got outbid.

Fine and dandy. Now what's Kelly going to do about defensive lineman this season? I understand he didn't get that position filled in the first window and he's drawing NIL lines in the sand about the spring opportunities. It's being reported that you guys started 2 walk-on d-linemen during spring ball and that doesn't sound like much of a working plan in the SEC. Unless you want more of what you got last year.
Your new DC might be wondering why he left Mizzou at this point.
