if we hear positive stuff about LSU and Colin Simmons tomorrow before his commitment
I feel like this is gonna swing back and forth just to build anticipation for the commitment. He’s obviously trying to soak in the spotlight
But this is just a COMMITMENT!
It’s not ESD or NSD
This battle will not be over until he signs
Just like everyone has been saying before people starting freaking out today

Not trying to sound like a homer but if he goes to LSU then he is a top 10 draft pick in 3 years. If he goes to UT then he will be 2nd-3rd round.

At this point, it’s his loss if he don’t commit to LSU. Texas has a horrible history of converting 5 stars to top notch NFL talent. The Texas bag might be nice in the short term, but LSU allows you the opportunity to get big NFL contracts

He could plan on taking $$ for a year and leaving.

Kids swing towards home at the last minute. It’s more likely that he would commit to LSU, then flip to Texas than vice versa

That’s true I would have to agree

I mean, I would. It’s not likely he would start as a true freshman at LSU so why not take the money and run.

I’m having a hard time finding a flaw in your logic here

Texas could always lose a ton of games while we could go on a swag filled playoff run that changes the game before signing day.
It happens
It happens

What college football has become is rent-a-player. If he doesn't like it there his first year, he can just simply move on the next.
Posted on 8/10/23 at 6:21 am to fOrEvErLsU1987
He has most likely told the school he is committing to that he’s coming.

He is committing to Texas today

You think it will be bad today around here, wait until McKinley and Mack commit to Texas.

In any event we want mature young men who want to come put in the work and be part of what we have going on here. If the dude wants to play games he can mosy on down the road as far as I'm concerned.
We want volunteers, not prisoners, and if the dude wants to sign with 5-7 Texas bc he got paid then fine, but let's put a wrap on the process and move on.
Maturity and drive matter. Is he a Perriloux or a Gilbert (failed 5*) or a Jefferson (no stars but chest for miles)? Only time will tell.
I'd love to have his athleticism, truly, but I certainly don't like the game playing that's going on. He knows where he's going and should have already informed CBK so as to not abuse his hospitality.

I know McKinley is a DT but I would use our resources to sign him if not too late!

Let’s be honest here, if you were a 17-18 year old kid from Dallas, what looks better to you, Austin or Baton Rouge? Add in the fact that Austin is only a couple hours away whereas Baton Rouge is 7-8 hrs away. Also add in the fact that you have a severely autistic brother that you want to be close to in case needs arise for him. And oh by the way, you’re going to get half a million dollars for your troubles.
Very hard to say no to that deal. Don’t get me wrong, I really want us to land him, but I get it if he goes to Texas.

I get everything you are saying and don't disagree but with NIL and the money some college players are making. A player could easily fly home without a problem it's 1hr 33 minute flight from Baton Rouge to Dallas. Also if they miss that flight could fly from New Orleans to Dallas on 1 hr 25 minute flight. Austin is cool it's not my taste just depends on the person I guess he might love or not love it. Also he might just want to rep his state and attend Texas. He will be good anywhere he goes and wishing him the best.
