Moneyball vs the Yankees

I think there are two schools of thought in this NIL/Portal world in which we live.
1) There is the Yankees approach of throwing money at whoever is considered the top players available (Texas Tech, Miami, and LSU this past season)
and
2) the money ball approach of building the best overall roster with the funds available (Indiana, Ole Miss in the last cycle)
It appears LSU is taking more of a moneyball approach this year to rebuild the entire roster including depth due to the dire state of the offensive roster.

The Dodgers use moneyball better than the As ever did and also spend more than the Yankees.
That's the actual model.

You do both. I think that's the key.

Maybe so. He is just saying they are taking a carefully planned approach because we have more starting roster holes than most, which means we have to spread money around more.
And I agree. Like he said, look at Indiana. Look at ole miss last year.
I am tired of coaches relying on media or trying to win the preseason Twitter awards instead of just doing their own homework ala Cignetti.

Thank you. Worded much better than I did to express my thoughts.

Too early to tell
And way too early to tell the quality of our portal and recruiting classes. Best evaluation will be in October thru January 2027(hopefully). Brian Kelly and LSU were the portal kings until about game 5 this year. While Lane Kiffin and little brother Ole Miss took some FCS QB no one had ever heard of before October.

Indiana has no NIL moneyball issues.
