Four-Star 2020 DL McKinnley Jackson Decommits From LSU

Nobody should have anything negative to say to or about this kid. And I don't believe in coaches asking or expecting a 15 or 16 year old underclassman to commit anyway. A lot of people are upset at a recent silent commit who signed elsewhere at the last minute, and I agree, it is a little disrespectful, but it goes both ways. There's players on LSU's team who were committed elsewhere until the last day or two before signing day last year. The fact is, if Orgeron wants to sign top players, he better start winning championships. If he can't then there's always going to be other schools throwing that in the faces of these recruits. And who doesn't want to win championships. This idea that LSU can't win championships isn't due to anything Orgeron did, it's because Miles refused to hire a competent and successful OC who could compete against the best coaches in college football. Did anyone really believe Greg Studdrawa could match wits with Saban? Cam Cameron? He was fired by the Baltimore Ravens because the offense was terrible, and once he was replaced they go on and win the superbowl. I'm afraid Orgeron doesn't have the luxury of time to prove he can lead LSU to championships. This next season will determine his fate. They either win every single game except bama, or lose one or two and beat bama to show he can lead LSU to championships. If LSU loses 2 games and one of those loses is to bama, it will do nothing to change the perception that LSU can't win championships.

We should have a new coach by then. All is good.

There is a 5th grader in Mandeville who is rethinking his commitment for the class of 2025 now. He said he thinks he is going to open things back up so he can take some trips and enjoy himself in this "once in a lifetime opportunity". It must be Orgeron's fault if we lose this commitment.

Why take any commitment for 2020 seriously? Commitment? Ha-ha-ha!

Who cares? Have we not learned from Surtain that these spoiled children's word means zero UNTIL they SIGN?

Not a bad decision. Go out and enjoy the recruiting process and see what the world has to offer. When done, there will be a scholarship waiting for you at LSU...hopefully...

Our fanbase has lost all sense of class.

Why is this even a headline on TD? It's 2020. This is not news. It's not even an event.

His post is actually well-written. Explore your options, young man. Go see all those other schools, and best of luck in 2 years.

Boo That Man!!!

Well, Coach Oeux won't be there in 2020 so he may recommit

Is this really worthy of a comment? You people are desperate to comment on 'anything' football. This is a 'non-event'. OK......ready for 'INCOMING'!!!

6'2" 280 come back when you grow up and stop being a liar!!

My son, which graduates in 2029, has unfortunately also decommited.

My 2nd cousin who’s set to graduate in 2024 is decommitting too.

Love all the beer belly 30 somethings responding to this kid.

Bama lock, mates :(

Why do coaches even accept commits that far out? Like someone said...it's a circus.
