re: Texas insiders reporting a decision for Dominick McKinley before his senior year

Both Texas and A&M are really hoping for early commitments with how they've made their offers in NIL.

If you can read between the lines, by virtue of them both pressing for commitments, they have both made at the very least their best first offer.

LSU and Brian Kelly is not pressing for early commitments because they know, perhaps better than both Texas schools that at LSU, it's about more than just the NIL offer.

That's not to say we are going to get into a bidding war for guys. Kelly is not going to get involved with that on principle.

What the staff is going to do is put their best comprehensive offer forward, and I think most of the guys were after will appreciate that and become LSU Tigers.

Personally out of McKinley, Simmons, Singleton and Mack, I think we pull 3/4 of them with Singleton being the outlier.

It does suck for us as fans, especially amongst some of the less patient portions of our fan base, but we will likely be waiting until right before the early signing period to find out who will be coming to LSU.
