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.

Seems like a great kid, but being the best receiver Acadiana ever had is not necessarily high praise. That is not a knock, it is good to be the best athlete at any position your high school ever produced. But Acadiana has run a veer offense since Bill Dotson started coaching there, that was 1975 or 1976 I believe. I am not sure what they ran under Cavalier, the previous coach who went on to be the principal at Acadiana. They haven't produced many notable receivers because receivers in a veer tend to be more like old-school receivers who had to block almost as well as they could catch and mostly got short passes.

Looking forward to that changing with Babineaux, though.
