It seems Kelly's comments on buying players has spawned many reactions. I liked what he said. Obviously, he was commenting on Damonic Williams. All nonsense aside, he was basically saying you can't just pay marginally talented guys tons of money in the transfer portal without screwing up your locker room. I'd take Kelly over Venables any day.

Sorry, anyone from L$U, even if relatively new to the scene, can STFU about buying players.

Kelly is talking about the landscape as it now stands, not what happened twenty years ago. If you think LSU couldn't have "bought" Williams, you're sadly mistaken. He made the right call. See what happens when LSU plays the criminal interlopers.

In the old days they would have bought Williams....in the landscape of NIL LSU cannot keep up. If it wasn't for Marucci for baseball they'd be screwed there too. 

LSU is crying crocodile tears!

In the old days they would have dropped 50K for a 5 star.  I agree with Kelly on this one.  He and Sark are in agreement.  That kid wasn't worth the money.
