It makes you wonder about posters and their motives.

Did they say these things about dom BEFORE he committed?
I was the first poster to comment about McKinely in the game yesterday, and this is what I said:
quote:

First time watching McKinley. He does not look impressive at all. He certainly has lots of room to get bigger.
He was double teamed on occasion, but the vast majority of the time he was one-on-one. I reiterate what I said yesterday, he didn't look impressive at all. I think he made one tackle.

McKinley killed it in one-on-one practice drills earlier in the week, but he was a nonfactor in the game. There is one factor that might help McKinley and that is that the defense could not blitz, so offensive linemen did not have to worry about LB shooting gaps. But the fact remains that McKinley did not impress at all, and the Ice team defensive line was killing the Fire Team QB.

I have no motive except that I hope McKinley commits to LSU and plays great. LSU needs DTs, and McKinley looks to have great potential.

One thing people forget is that he’s about 40 lbs underweight as a defensive tackle. That’s going to affect a lot in the interior line.

1 solo tackle, 0 assists, no factor in pass rushing. He had a chance to recover a fumble (not caused by him) but an Ice team player beat him to it.

#99 the Georgia commit on Fire team looked much better than McKinley. And you are correct that the Ice DL dominated the Fire OL. And as you also stated, he was rarely double teamed. And as I initially said, I never saw him pancaked per se but he was certainly stopped cold and sometimes ended up literally on his back with the blocker on top of him. As far as the one-on-one clips, I don't have enough info to comment on those. I have no idea who the blocker was, if there was instruction going on, etc.

Ask yourself how did he look in the camps?

Ask yourself why did Brian Kelly offer?
