He was probably looking for the best NIL deal he could get. However, he is not a proven commodity against SEC competition so either way it would have been a gamble. I trust our coaching staff to do what they need to do to make us competitive at that position

Two things can be true at once:
He is not very good. You can watch highlight after highlight of him getting washed off the line at TCU. Low motor as well. Him being on the team doesn’t make us turn into a NC roster.
We also have a desperate need to talent at DT. It’s arguably the second most important position on the field and we are going to seriously struggle next year because of where we are. Unfortunately, there aren’t too many 1-3 rd draft picks at DT in the portal right now.

So if someone like Donovan Edwards entered the portal we shouldn't go after him?
Bind trust. Nice.

I don't know what the NIL bag situation is but I would rather Kelly instruct Bayou Traditions to lean heavily on the DTs from the high school ranks. There are some really good ones in the pipeline that we lead on and if NIL resources are tight I can see placing higher priority on those recruits rather than transfers. I'm not saying to not go after potential DT transfers, because I know we need to up that position, we just can't overpay and potentially miss out on the high school DTs leaning toward LSU with much higher ceilings because we threw too big of a bag at a transfer DT.

We will see him on November 30th. Assuming he even plays.

This is a great example of how important NIL is. LSU has a huge need, almost guaranteeing a starting spot on a potential playoff team. LSU has a great DL coach with a great track record.
In the past, we pull this guy 9/10 times. However, NIL is all that matters these days.
Coaching hiring is going to start to look more like the NFL where it’s all about on-field coaching. Does it even matter if coaches can recruit any more?

Great thread title. Thanks. Keep up the good work.

As opposed to whom? Jalen Lee and our third-string center? Counting on Williams to play DT at an SEC starter-quality level would've been a gamble but our other options aren't?
