re: Coach Kelly says they aren’t going to buy players.

[quote]Don’t think there were many game changers then either. Maybe Nolen but he was only going to Ole Miss, he’s from that area.[/quote]
Nolen was the only “game changer” that I can remember but you could’ve gotten some solid players at a decent price compared to what was being asked for in th...

Relying on the portal. You’ve seen the price tags portal players are asking for. You’ve got to get them out of high school, retain them and develop them. It’s a much cheaper and more sustainable path. ...

[quote]We need quality over quantity and I didn’t see a ton of quality these cycles.[/quote]
Should’ve been more active in the winter portal but we didn’t have the coaching staff in place yet.
We could have gotten Walter Nolen for less money than Williams was asking for. ...

And they should but those guys won’t hit the portal very often. You’ll get the guys wanting to jump from the G5 to the big boys and you’ll get some stars from bad teams who are cha...

[quote]Currently players have all the power and can hold schools hostage for more money.[/quote]
The schools don’t have to pay it. The boosters don’t even HAVE to pay it.
They are choosing to pay it. For now. That well will eventually dry and common sense will become a little more common....

[quote]You guys are acting like we didn't try to buy Williams or Barrow, the offers from LSU's side were there and by all accounts competitive until they weren't enough.[/quote]
Texas balked at the amount of money Williams was asking for.
I never once said Williams shouldn’t get paid. But y...

[quote]He needs to get with the times[/quote]
Ok so let’s say we pay Damonic Williams 1.5 for average defensive line play for one season.
That’s more than either of our Offensive Coordinators make btw but let’s say we do it.
We can afford an extra 1.5 this year no problem.
But what ...

Like A&M?
How well did that work out?...

[quote]I'd honestly like to see how well these high priced transfer players actually produce, and how long they actually stick around.[/quote]
Well Williams wanted 1.5mil to be an average SEC defensive lineman for one year. That’s absolutely absurd. ...

You’ve got to remember. Yeskie was coaching against those guys everyday last year. He has the blueprint.

[quote]Guidry K’s 14 batters per 9 & has one of the lowest BA agsinst on the team. If not the lowest out of anyone that pitches regularly[/quote]
He’s also a one trick pony and his trick isn’t the fastball. That rightfully leads people to be nervous. ...
