We did not get his commitment before he left. Going home to take some time to discuss his options with his family (most importantly Dad). Now we wait.

Dad allegedly wants Cincy? If so, doesn’t bode well for LSU.

I think that is reasonable. It's a big decision for him.

If he chooses Cincinnati, then there is probably not much LSU could have done to convince him to come here. The level of competition, exposure, surrounding talent, realistic opportunity to play for a title ALL favor LSU. That, as well as the fact LSU isn't returning a starting QB. But if he felt more comfortable at Cincy because of the relationship with a former coach and proximity to home, then I don't know how LSU could compete with that.

From what smartbuck says, sounds like the dad wants Cincinnati.

If he's not convinced on LSU by now it's probably over.

I haven't followed this saga too closely so I ask, are LSU and Cincinnati the only two schools he's considering or are there other schools pursuing him?

Did anyone really expect him to commit so soon anyway? I mean this is a big decision for the kid, moving far away from home and into a totally different environment takes some thought and prayer for a lot of people.

- He wanted a guarantee to start..
- Dad wants Cincy...
- Didn’t want to relocate...
- LSU doesn’t have a relationship with him...
- Sounds like we did all we could...
- the sec would eat his arse alive this year..the guy is going to cinci...he wouldnt make us any better...repeat after me..... "I will not drink the koolaid anymore"....
- To be honest, I’m starting to feel that Cincinnati is the best place for this young man. That’s a lot of pressure to deal with. Moving to a new state, playing in the toughest conference in Football, no guarantees you would start, and your Father is completely against the move. [Of course there’s all the pressure.. nothing like starting a football game at QB]
- He has one year to show the NFL what he can do. If he comes to LSU and sits, that’s one year. If he goes to Cincinnati to play and performs the way he believes he can, he will be gone after one year. He does not want to sit again. I don’t blame him. [kind of agree with this except, this team has no starter and the Cincy starter had a very solid year LAST SEASON].
- Texas de Brazil - Hmm wouldn’t be my choice of where to take him. Those places are all over the country.. should have been back room at ruffinos with Ruffin himself stopping in [Its the food]
- Did it ever occur to any of you provincial baws that some people wouldn't want their child to actually live in Louisiana? [ Idiot if idiots posted this beauty like he is 9 and will be here for eternity instead of a year or maybe 2. Hilarious]
- Home (and mom/dad) is the great equalizer that almost no recruiter can match. We’ve managed to pull some kids from out of state, but some kids just flat out want to stay close to home. It’s why we rarely get California kids from the other side of the country... P
- Given the empty cupboard Coach Orgeron was handed and the rebuilding job ahead, nobody could fault Burrow for choosing the BearCats over the Tigers...
- It should be the kid's decision. Shame on him if he let's his dad choose. That said, no one really knows what's going on. O can't guarantee that he'll be the starter. He has to earn it on the field.
- His father is the DC for Ohio University. I doubt he's going to want to commute from BR to Ohio everyday during the football season. [Wow so his dad’s teams don’t play on Weekends on the road. Or at the same time as Cincy.]
- It wasn’t just about football either. He’s pursuing a masters as well. [Cincy is a better school with more options and a better academic center I take it]
- LSU is not located in Ohio. The kid's family does not live in Louisiana. No one on LSU's staff coached/has a relationship with him from Ohio State. wasn’t it discussed how LSU had a connection to him on here through one of the coaches?
- Sounds like he and his father want a sure thing which O can't give him. Burrow would more likely than not win the starting job. But maybe he has just enough self-doubt that he'd rather settle for a sure thing. I said this earlier: this would be a much bigger case of "no chest" than Gunnar Kiel.
- The mosquitoes are bad down here...
