Why haven't Reed, Allen, Vinson and Fobbs committed yet?

I'll take "because it's May" for 200 Alex.

Do you like Mack Brown's style of recruiting? Fill up the 90% of the class by April and wait on the lagniappe players.

There's a reason most coaches don't do that. Commitments put targets on the back of every single one of your recruits. Just ask Pete Carrol.

I'm not saying this is the case, but it's a very likely scenario.

But for shits and giggles, I'll answer your question,

Reed - He's a superstar with weak ties to Louisiana. LSU has been shoved down his throat by his HS coaches. He wants to play the field and see what's out there.

Allen - Like Mingo, he wants to take his visits and get the royal treatment at every school he goes to. He knows he's good enough for the LSU coaches to hold his spot and he's not worried about his situation.

Vinson - Possibly looking around at academics. To go from Newman to LSU is an academic step down. LSU has great depth at Safety and he doesn't want to burn bridges in case he changes his mind.

Fobbs - He probably realizes that there's a good chance of him never seeing the field at LSU. Even players that "love" competition cringe when they look at our DB/WR depth chart.

I'm not saying these are the reasons, just possible scenarios. Scenarios, which, IMO, are much more likely than them thinking that all of the OOS recruits are going to drive LSU into the ground.
