Could this, coupled with LSU's abysmal showing on field, cost Kelly his job?
I hope not. I could see LSU hiring Sumerall. He is already killing it in the same state.
Some entity needs to fix pay for play. 10 mil for a qb recruit is insane. The whole pay for play needs to stop.
Think this was what they were after...After this cringy recruiting video of Kelly....I'd not be able to play for an old man doing stupid kid stuff like this
I'm actually okay with it.
10 million for a QB means not so much left over for everyone else who will inevitably hit the portal. That's how the playing field evens out.
I think what we're seeing in SEC will become a lot more common. People are all excited/upset/worried about so many teams being right there in the hunt and a couple may get left out.
That's the direct result of talent spreading out.
Instead of 2 maybe 3 teams being the clear cream of the crop because they can just attract and hoard all the talent solely on history/tradition/pomp and circumstance, now that there's come money involved it actually makes things fairer and more competitive.
Two programs in every conference can make the big dog pitch. That's why we essentially saw the same teams in the 4 team playoffs and upper tier NY6 bowls.
Those programs dominated basically the entire history of CFB because of their depth. Kids would go sit around and hold a clipboard and play special teams for 2,3,4 years. Kids with starter and even superstar potential who could do something at other places.
That isn't the case anymore. UGA, OSU, Bama, Michigan, Texas, Oklahoma, Penn State, etc...role players, backups, are going elsewhere.
That cuts the gap two ways. One, like I said, overall depth from the side of the big dog. Two, programs a tier or even two down from big dogs are getting guys who can play.
In a word...yes. 4 losses already for a team that was supposed to be in the hunt for the CFP. Obviously internal strife judging from the players and Kelly yelling at each other last week. Now, losing the #1 QB HS prosect. Bayou Bengal fans are NOT happy.
Kelley will probably be taking a big check into retirement very soon.QB Underwood, No. 1 recruit for '25, flips to U-M

Go Big Blue!
I don't even care about the price tag. Its the pay to play that bothers me. This was one of only a couple prohibited uses of nil but here we are.
My lovely wife, the LSU fan in my household, is pretty unhappy with Kelly and wants him gone. I saw the QB flip to Michigan on my X feed last night and mentioned it to her, and she already knew about it. She's very far from being an insider at LSU, but she keeps up with developments on X and FaceBook, and she tells me the LSU fanbase pretty much wants him gone. Last week's loss to the Gators probably sealed his fate.
Bryce Underwood is from Michigan, so it's not all too surprising that he flipped to Michigan. I wonder how much NIL money he has been promised between the two schools?
Yeah and let’s be honest….if you’re on that position, you’re choosing LSU even if the Kentucky job is offered.
If it is offered. Sumrall won’t be their top target. Maybe not even make their list
I don't think he was ever a fan favorite, now with the way their season has gone and now this, and likely going to lose a couple more that are going to follow him they want him gone. Michigan is going after every top commit right now, 2 weeks before signing day they are throwing offers left and right .
What should be a concern is the top money guy funding this flip runs an online betting service, is college athletics comfortable with a betting service having college athletes on their payroll?
