Wins and losses are not a factor in recruitments like this.

LSU can take back that money. Kelly can use those funds find 3 players in college. He developed those players for 2 yrs.

I doubt there’s a significant difference in the money being offered, or he would have flipped already

Let him go to vols and run those dumb as routes ….not conducive to nfl


Vols better pay him well, cause their qbs/receivers aren’t fairing well in the league

Getting cut

Man we got a natty to win this year who gives a shite about a WR flipping in this era of college football. Of all places LSU will be just fine at WR. Anyone getting mad over this is just looking to get mad about something. I’m more pissed about losing on Darius Gray. It’s all about the trenches.

For a WR not to choose LSU to get a couple extra million in college is dumb.

Look at what Jamar and Jets got in their second contract, and then see what Malik and BTJ did last year, as well as the longevity of other receivers who didn't produce near as much as them.

Kids (and parents) need to start looking at the long term instead of the short term.

Doesn’t work like that in an instant gratification world unfortunately. Doesn’t matter about the long term, just about right here right now


(I completely agree with you)

When you consider the fact that 95% of these recruits come from families that are right at or barely above the poverty line, it probably makes sense why they want to pick the school that offers the most money.

But at what point, as a parent, do you let you kid decide where they want to go? The kid will likely be getting very close to if not ove 7 figures.... right? How much does a family need to live comfortably.

So LSU puts WR in the NFL every year yet momma gonna ask for some more money because she is greedy and doesn’t see that WR at LSU likely means more NFLSU money

After talking to a couple sources regarding the recruitment, it’s Tennessee that has the momentum heading into fall,” Wiltfong said. “Sources around Baton Rouge have felt good about the recent dialogue with Keys and keeping him in the fold. Sources around Knoxville have always felt good about flipping the No. 1 ranked pass catcher in the land. My intel favors the latter.”



Well ok then.

Literally every 5 star recruit ends up in a bidding war. Especially WRs. Seems like the majority of WRs are all about who pays the most.

Nah. Keys isn’t the guy you do that for. QB, LT, the DL, and then the rest of the OL are your premium positions outside of generational talent exceptions, and Keys isn’t that. There’s a higher volume of impact players at the skill positions.

Bus Cook???

Brett Favre's old agent?

This guy is an ancient dinosaur.

The mom sounds like a real genius. Apple doesn't fall far.

Good Riddance
