recruit flip from UL to LSU

[JamesTheJeweler]

Do we really think there was a chance that this recruit would come to UL if LSU really wanted him? While I don't like the system I understand it and can live with it. We won't ever compete with the big programs on recruits consistently, the system isn't designed for that to happen.

I don't think anyone is surprised by this. At least I hope they aren't. It's just hurts because it's more salt in an already gaping wound.

just leaving this here.
Winning matters.
Environments matter.
Crowd size matters

Just the beginning folks...

Truth.

Really...105,000 vs 20000 on a good night... life long dream to play at LSU, and you two think it's an NIL issue...just f'ing brilliant...

Back that up with facts?

More to come

G5 type schools recruiting budgets are gonna go through the roof, while the P5 budgets go down.

All they have to do is harvest our crop. And we will forever be spending money to play catch-up.

Don't be surprised if the P5's move to up the scholarship limit.

This happens every year, this is nothing new. We are going to lose commitments to programs that have more NIL money, or that have a higher profile. Is important to win, and go to bowl games? You bet!

We do in softball.

Bruh, it's softball. Who cares?

All the folks that sold out the grandstand last year with season tickets.

I mean in a general sense, on a national scale. It's girls playing baseball. In reality, it doesn't move a needle or raise an eyebrow. Nobody cares.

Actually,no.

NIL has only been around, what, 2 years?

Combine that with the ability to transfer out and play the next year? You have the perfect storm for P5s raiding g5 rosters.

Both of these are new circumstances in college athletics.

I realize this young man was still only a recruit and could change his mind at any time.

My point is that this is gonna make recruiting easier and cheaper for P5s and more difficult and expensive for G5s.

I don't think anyone thinks that winning isn't a necessary component.

But I don't agree with the idea that the playing field, which was already uneven, is still the same.

Yes the field of play has changed with NIL and all that, but the game hasn't. There has always been a level of talent available to G5s no matter what.

What we have to do is be better than all of the other G5s in our region to remain a SBC contender each year.

The number of schollys hasn't changed. The P5s can't play them all. As long as we take care of our business, we will be OK.
