See what you want to see. I never said NIL$ was the only reason, but it was apparently a/the major reason. I mention the NIL re Angel Reese every time I post about her because it was a very relevant factor and probably the relevant factor in her choice. You are welcome to think otherwise. And calling others clowns because of what you think happened... Look in the mirror.
As far as Kim being a great coach, find me where I have ever said she couldn't coach or recruit. I think she is a great coach and history has proved that. What I have said is that in her last years here she was having a harder time getting the recruits she wanted and had to lean more on the portal. Anyone can see that the Kim when she left here is not the Kim that is now at LSU. She is clearly rejuvenated. I was a big Kim supporter even through the BU men national championship days and beyond until she was preparing to leave. I lost all respect for Kim when she tried to bury our program on the way out. Ask the mods if you want verification.
In the meantime, bury your head in the sand if you choose to believe that high NIL dollars for top players aren't a major and often the major consideration for a recruit choosing a school. Why do you think Baylor football has recruited so few 5 star football players even when the relationships are already there for a number of them? Why do you think Mikayla Williams shut her recruiting down without taking any other visits? She is the first #1 player in the country to ever do so. Yes she had a previously longterm good relationship with CKM and Baylor/LSU but she was planning other trips until she got her NIL offer and shut it down. NIL matters and is a major factor. That's why every major college program is trying to bolster our NIL support including us. But keep telling your self otherwise. You'll sleep better.
