MSU offered him more scholarship money.
Talking to several kids that have gone and will go out of state, this keeps getting mentioned. Surely whatever LSU offers plus TOPS has to be the same as these other schools.

Some guy who seemed to be a relative claimed that LSU offered 14k over 4 years in addition to Tops and MSU offered 125K over 4 years.
If those numbers are legit, that's essentially a full ride at MSU and enough to cover the fees that TOPS fails to cover, but not much for living expenses.
Now whether those numbers are legit, who knows? I wouldn't think MSU would offer that much to a guy straight from high school of his caliber (very good, but not elite), but it's possible. Maybe they did just to say they stole one from LSU.

It's not even close, LSU basically offers the minimum (1/4 of a scholarship) to instate kids and hopes they have always dreamed of playing at LSU and in some cases the baseball players have to take out a loan even though he has a scholarship. When it's less a financial strain on families to go to other programs it can become a very easy decision. CPM acts like TOPS is a scholarship he is "giving" them. As long as that continues LSU will lose kids like Kale Breaux and Nick Lee to other schools.
