Did we learn anything about where we stand with D. McKinley this past weekend?

With all of the excitement over Simmons & Durham, etc., I hadn't heard any status update on McKinley. Anyone know how it went?

Word from experts is LSU put themselves in position and are in much better position than before. Staff made a connection with family and even offered his younger brother. No where near a closed deal but have positioned to close the deal with an official saved for the season.

I think we gave him something to think about and offering his brother was a smart thing. They want to play together and his lil bro will turn out to be a solid player. So there’s a chance you’d end up offering him even if Dominick goes elsewhere. Having DL coach issues doesn’t help but when you have a guy like Jancek hanging around on staff he seems like a very overqualified DL coach. I don’t think it’ll be what keeps him from coming. I’d be more worried about the bag.

We could get three Acadiana guys these next three years.

Dominick McKinley: top player in state 2024
Russell Babineaux: Acadiana’s head coach said in an interview he could be the best WR Acadiana’s ever had. Will be a top 100 guy in 2025.
Darryus McKinley: DE that’s already 6’3 255 going into sophomore year and runs track. Could very well be the top player in LA for 2026.

Things seem to be going in a positive direction. Texas is considered the biggest threat. Offer to his brother was calculated and meant alot to him and his family. Kelly has personally gotten involved in this recruitment.

If he picked today I don’t think it would be LSU but LSU is definitely pushing the all the right buttons down the stretch. Definitely in a much better position after him visiting the bash.

Oklahoma also thinks they are in a good spot with him. Some think a decision comes soon. Don’t think him and family enjoy the recruiting process as much.

That quote is a little disconcerting.

Just saw on twitter he is looking to make a decision before his senior season starts. Which I believe is just a couple weeks away.
