i guess having the opportunity to be coached by one of the best Dline coaches doesn’t mean jack shite to the DTs in the portal

It's a nice perk, but it's not like being coached by Bo Davis is the only path to the NFL or CFB playoff.

Just send him a check. Nothing else seems to matter today.

Still waiting on a DT signing? What's changed? NOTHING


So when one does you're gonna ... what, come back and apologize for cluttering up the boards with all your pissing and moaning ? Doubtful.

The only advice I can give is to try not to be a little bitch in the first place.

Make no mistake. BK is setting NIL policy regardless of who is in control of the purse. It's his team and if he doesn't want a player being paid then that is that.




I'm not sure what this has to do with my post. The person I was replying to said that LSU can surely afford the big NIL payments for these portal DTs, because LSU football generates tens of millions of dollars each year. I pointed out that those millions are totally separate from the pool of money we spend on NIL.

Of course BK is in charge of deciding how the money is spent. But that doesn't mean we can use athletic department money to make NIL payments.

Did you pay attention to the NFL Draft that just took place? DT was weakest I can ever remember in my lifetime. You would think any DT draft eligible this year would have declared. But they didn't. Because they are not that good.
These guys are all looking for the biggest payday they can get for one year because they know the money isn't coming anytime soon from NFL. It's smart on their part and I'm sure their agents are leading them.

Not going to post specific premium info (and I'm not even an On3 member but a friend as work is) but Shea just posted some really positive news(*). I'm OK being concerned for nothing.

(*) Caveat, it's vague enough that he can rely on the old "recruiting is fluid" out if it goes the other way).

"LSU put themselves in a really good position but X school made a really strong late push to keep him in-state"

"LSU felt good about X making it to campus until the final hours"

"LSU did everything they could but came up just short"

I think we get at least one of the DT's we're after.

Lemme guess, the kid had a PHENOMENAL time on his visit and the staff is feeling really good about it.

What kid is leaving a visit after having his arse kissed and saying "I mean, it was just ok."?

I did detect some sarcasm in your post i don't think the downvotes did. Look do i think Kelly can coach? yes. Do I finally think he has the right coaches in place?yes. Do i think he has shite the bed on recruiting DT's and getting them in the transfer portal this year? HELL YES. To the downvoters. Show me the DT's

Not ever player in the portal is a take based on positional need. See our defensive back room from last year for example. Theres not a ton of players in the portal that are game changers or any better than what you got this go round. Some of these are team chemistry killers. You can’t pay a kid double the guy beside him that’s been here 4 years and just as talented without causing a ton of internal issues.
