Politics equals: I was told one thing in recruitment, I got there and wasn’t as good, so things changed.
Best are gonna play.
True.
But I can see how 17, 18, 19 year olds sometimes feel "betrayed" after going through the recruiting process. For 2, 3, (maybe more) years you have numerous coaches, from numerous schools, constantly telling you how great you are and how great you are going to be on their team. They see you as a starter. They see you as All-Conference. They see you as an All-American!!! They won't dare say a single thing negative about you.
Then the player signs. And all of the arse-kissing, goofy dancing, dumb photos, etc go away. The coaches break you down and expect you to perform. The guy who a few months earlier told you that you were going to be a force on his team is now telling you that you're not good enough to see the field....all while he is kissing the arse of the next big HS recruit at your position.
As mature adults we know the recruiting sales pitch is full of a TON of disingenuous fluff. So we don't go into something expecting simply to be given the reins to run the show. But that knowledge comes with experience.
LSU was desperate for DBs over the last two years. So I don't think he can truly say he didn't get his shot. But I can see why a kid might think (even if somewhat irrational) he was lied to by the coaches..

I could agree with this before NIL but these guys want to get paid like adults -( most get paid more than half the people in this country make in a year) They need to put on their big boy pants now
