This gets overblown so much.

Don't get wrong I'd love for him to commit to LSU. But, let's not confuse our own feelings with LSU being the smartest move for him. That term gets thrown out entirely too much.

Agree so much with this. It's not like IF he went out of state he couldn't/wouldn't make connections in the state where he plays. I've hired UGA grads, MSU grads, LSU grads, etc. I hire based on who helps grow my business - not who played football for my favorite team.

At least Dupre to LSU makes sense because he reportedly was a host to other recruits during his LSU visits.

I've heard nothing from the Kenny Young front that makes me think he's even interested in LSU, add to that he's mentioned that he wanted to go out of state. The kid's being honest with his intentions at least. It's been nothing but pure hope with him, not expecting him to come to LSU and would be shocked if he did.

Yeah I have to respectfully disagree with you there. If you don't make it in football, you better be willing to make it in business in the town that you played collegiate football in. No LSU fan, alumni or booster will touch you with a ten foot pole. Fact! But we can write 100 pages about this.
