At this point I wouldn't even care. He hasn't lived up to his rating.

I agree! I remember when Dominck was being rated and he fell during the recruiting cycle...still a 5* at the end but with each release of the rankings he had fallen and barely ended up a 5*. From his play which is OBSCURE to be kind, he has played like a low 4*. I realize DT isn't the most high profile position on the field but you hardly ever hear his name called. LSU can easily replace him with another average quality SEC starter...that is exactly what he has been.;

Good, I am not impressed with him at all. Top flight high players should dominate at the high school level; he does not.

Wouldn't that be considered tampering at this point.

You hear Collin Simmons name all the time from the same class. Texas got the better player for sure.

To be fair, Simmons plays a different position than McKinley so he is more free to make plays. But yeah, Simmons plays like a 5* at his position. McKinley COULD dominate inside by wrecking havoc rushing up the middle, etc. He doesn't. A better comparison IMO is what Simmons a 5* does for Texas vs Perkins a 5* guy with more college experience than Simmons who most of the time is invisible on the field. Who would you rather have on LSU's team...Simmons or Perkins?

We need to stop the leaks in our roster? How many of the people you mentioned were on our roster and how many of those that were on our roster entered the portal?

The answer is less than 2.

Perhaps a blessing in disguise. Gives more opportunity for guys like Lamar Brown to play early. As of late, Guillory and others have been playing better.

3 star who gives af. Transfer portal only thing that matters now, why even waste time recruiting kids out of high school.

If we trade Berrymon for him , then this is a win.

Anyone else surprised Ohio State wants him. They are already loaded this cycle.
