For my entire adult life Ive always said I prefer college over nfl football by a long shot because the college players play for love of the game for their team or to try to make a better life for themselves in the nfl ....they always seemed like they played harder with more heart ......those days are dwindling very rapidly
Or bring back the sitting out a year. The argument before was that you make a kid sit out and lose any leverage. NOW they are getting paid to sit out. Should be fine.
Matt, I wanted to thank you for all your objective broadcasts ! You are one heck of a LSU Tiger ! I might be from Los Angeles, but I am now a Tiger fan ! Btw I do believe Coach Kelly will take the Tigers to CF Finals ! Nuss made the right decision ! I pray blessings for his life.
@bradleyfusilier415 i had to come back and edit my shit cause I didn't take the low hanging fruit. My brother in Christ, where am I criticizing coaching? My comment is on Matt's statement/title that LSU is crushing it. Yo shit makes even less sense when I actually thought about it.
I think the point to his comment of building through the highschool ranks is keeping the crème of the crop yearly, so keep the better players and the ones not starting will walk and unfortunately some will walk to the highest bidder just for more money , but I still think in state crème of the crop is where they will try to always be , and they have to be consistent participants in the transfer portal
If you lose 15 players a year to the transfer portal after four years you've lost two full classes. So you have to replace two classes over four years through the portal. Whether you like the new reality or not to stay competitive you have to go into the portal with enough money to buy a team. You can talk all you want about having enough money but if you have a finite budget you don't have enough money. Texas paid for Phillips, got all the other guys they wanted, and finished with a higher rated class than LSU. That's the competition. If Texas can pay and you can't - however you choose to justify it - you don't have enough money. If the same thing happens in the portal, and in recruiting going forward, the Tigers will be in big trouble. So I hope Matt has good info. But we're all "from" Missouri - show me.
This is the reason why Saban retired. Now we have a college sports lottery I can can hear the flush. This has really destroyed the college game.A Kelly is going no where soon so get over that cause he’s dealing with same shit that all coaches are dealing with hate for the same reasons.
The concept that you’re explaining how many guys have left in one recruiting class is the reason why Deion Sanders is saying that he would only recruit 10 solid high school guys and the other 15 to make up the 25 would be portal guys I think from what you’re saying, I believe like as Deion city did his math and the numbers work out
Not only are the players that could not start going to transfer. But any player that has a good year is going to leave so that other teams will get into a bidding war for them
Not trying to be ugly buy am I the only one who thinks Campbell has been a little over hyped I feel like hes sort of one demintional very good in pass pro but meh in run blocking and not to mention very false start prone for a 3 year starter who is touted as the best offensive lineman in the country ....dont get me wrong I know hes good and Nuss is definitely going to miss him next year but for people to say hes the best ever to come through LSU seems a bit much to me????
But he shows up ready for a fist fight.... Hell I agree all preseason we were spoonfed how much of a unit that room was as a whole. Overhyped. However Will's stats are impressive as hell.
I was wondering is there a way Gale Benson and the Saints could help the Tigers with money because the Saints could use the Tigers as a pipeline and try drafting Tigers for a change,I’m sure there’s a reason they can’t or wouldn’t but just curious
@ yea casual fan for 50 years goofy,fan longer than you’ve been alive,it was simply a statement because of course I know Saints haven’t been drafting Tigers and I think it’s stupid because they might not draft them but they damn sure sign them when they’re available
@ 🤣🤣 so now who’s showing their casual fan card,Henderson who helped them win a Super Bowl was drafted from LSU in 04,TBob Hebert went to LSU,Dalton Hilliard went to LSU but I’m guessing you’re too young and casual to know who they are,Eric Martin drafted in 85,Will Clapp drafted in 18,I can name more but geez I’m such a casual fan 😂
For every year that LSU does not make the playoffs we will continue to lose players, however, if we continue to make the playoffs, we will always gain players and keep them as well. Players want to be on great teams.
The portal is obscene. Needs limits. Scone rationalizes saying students should be able to transfer schools whenever they want. College football players are no longer students. They are employees. Any freshman/soph who transfer sits out 1 year (unless HC fired), juniors/seniors can transfer freely. That alone will get some hold on this idiocy.
Depends on if they uphold their end of the contract. If they attend signings or advertisements gigs... Most of the money is tied up in payment installments. No kid is getting "free" money.
NIL makes football teams not really associated with colleges" main purpose which is education and research. I think this is crazy. LSU should just sell or lease its athletic facilities to some NIL support group and let them have a football team. I wouldn't even let the use the LSU name and tradition. I know this is anathma to most, but I think LSU, and many other schools should drop football. I think a lot of other schools should do the same. Alternatively, these schools should form a league of their own undewhich which sponsor football the old way and do not participate in NIL. In the NIL era, most colleges will have to cobble together a new team every year.
In that case, if you have these players and teams no longer associated with Universities, the NFL could just buy that "league" in two seconds flat and have themselves a legit NFL minor league and make an even crazier amount of money than they already do.
How do you think any other sport outside of baseball is funded? Money from football... Sheesh it sounds like you're lobbying against the players getting paid.
It's very disappointing that the only way you get good players is to pay them. They don't necessarily want to be at LSU unless LSU can pay them enough to be there. I understand that some of the student athletes need extra money while in college, but they should still get the big money if they go pro. Just my opinion.
You people that wanted to pay college kids big money this is what you have! An adolescent NFL! They have taken the heart out of the game! Giving an unproven kid 12 million is ridiculous!
I think PJ should stay because I believe he can beat Ashton Stamps out. The kid from Florida if they land him that's cool but, he's coming off injury. PJ is a dawg. I think he'll take a huge leap this offseason. Hopefully, he can start against Baylor if Zy opts out.
I can understand the purpose of the portal and NIL, but I genuinely hate the current state of both. So much of what I loved about college ball is just gone. Commitments and signing day don't mean anything anymore
You can no longer build with recruiting classes. They portal away for $ or b/c the coach didn’t show me enough love. Unlimited portal will kill college football. The current structure will kill off the fan base and that will make the money dry up.
@@JohnVega-e3u Well they could have gone to the portal, if there's any program that's proven that in spades, it's LSU. And they could have offered a guaranteed starting spot at a premiere program, and probably could have outspent anyone at least for a QB, even though it probably would have been less than what Nuss got. So all would not have been lost. And they still could, for a young QB to compete with Hurley for next season.
All the players that were not able to start on LSU roster are leaving. Now you are going to sign other players that could not start on their team. They have RUINED college football 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
poor but good athletes will chase the money and not wait to be developed so they can play for LSU. Many of these athletes do not live for nor appreciate the future. It is their nature to take the money and run.
I don’t like this new version of college football. Too much incentive to just leave after 1 season. There needs to be a cap and a penalty for transferring. And these dudes who jump in the portal every year, something needs to be done this system just isn’t right
THIS IS INSANITY. Is no one with clout going to call for a regulatory agency to rope in this madness? This is now semipro mercenary football that has nothing to do with college education. West coast Cal is playing in the ATLANTIC Coast Conference people! LOL. Kelly is a pragmatist who’s going to make the best of it, but he should not have to. Am I the only one in shock at this situation watching a runaway train?
These kids are seeking more money in the transport portal probably if the school isn’t going to give them more they transfer , to me. It’s a shit show.
For my entire adult life Ive always said I prefer college over nfl football by a long shot because the college players play for love of the game for their team or to try to make a better life for themselves in the nfl ....they always seemed like they played harder with more heart ......those days are dwindling very rapidly

They need a cap on how much a player can get. Also need to allow only 1 transfer.
Once LSU and BK adjust to new era of college football recruiting they will be a force to reckoned with watch buy the roster each year
Brian Kelly sounds like a real CEO.
That’s what he is - an administrator

They have the money because they’re using the rev share that’s coming to close deals.
Could LSU build a great roster every year. Things are changing. I hope next year will be fantastic for my LSU Tigers 🐅 Let's Geaux
I assume LSU should have more money after the portsl departures and draftees. Those commitments are broken and money is freed up
The only thing Brian Kelly is crushing is LSU’s spirit and will to live
Make us a sammich, princess
Matt,you should get some type of breakfast entity,This new makes me hawngry
Who we signed? What we crushed
Brian should use some of his salary for these recruits and put his ass on a bonus plan if he wins one
