re: ***GUNNER KIEL (pronounced keel) (#1 QB recruit in nation) COMMITS TO LSU***

ND definitely has the edge on education, but I think once he visited LSU he realized he could get a quality education here as well. That combined with the game environment is what brought him back to campus.

Obviously LSU has the advantage in quality of the football program. He would likely be the front runner to start in 2 years when Mett leaves, and we will be NC contenders every year. With the talent we currently, having a QB like Keil would bring LSU to amazing heights...and Keil has likely realized that. Obviously ND's future is not so certain.

The only area ND really has an advantage in is location. South Bend is about 6 hours away from Colombus. Baton Rouge is 10 or 11. However, I dont think traveling would be a problem for his parents financially.
