This commitment is not that concerning. He has been an A&M lean from the beginning. As I stated before, LSU was used to drive the price up. The concern would be if we do not close on McKinley. Even though schools like Texas will drive the price up we have to give the bag to close on the #1 player in our state at a position of need.

Not on OL or QB Rankings matter way less than skill positions or LB
This is just 100% false. Rankings matter at every position, with QB being most important. Why would schools fight over Trevor Lawrence, Bryce Young, and Caleb Williams if they didn’t matter? It’s tough to project how guys will develop which is how rankings miss at times, but to say they don’t matter is foolish.

Look at the draft rankings and where they ranked in HS
Yea Bryce young lived up to his ranking but he won 0 championships as a starter
Look at the Qb rankings that year - 3 of the top 20 have panned out
That’s a horrible ratio

Which is why it’s so important to get one of the top ranked guys. You have almost zero chance to win a title if you don’t have an elite QB. By your argument, everyone should just disregard the rankings and go after 2 and 3 star guys.

Georgia Bennet says Hello! Having a QB helps don't get me wrong but if you are loaded all over I think you will be ok.

Stetson Bennett was a big reason Georgia won a natty last year. This narrative that they won in spite of him is silly. He’s so bad that he’s going to be on an NFL roster this year.

At Qb there is just as much chance of the top ranked being a bust as a 3 star guy being good
The best thing at Qb is going after who you as a coaching staff is going to develop the best and fits your offense/program the best
Have you watched LSU football for the last 15 years? How many 4 stars we had that were bust because they didn’t fit our offense or were just plain overrated

He was also a 0 star Qb coming out of HS
Kirby saw his talent coming out of juco as a 2 star and got him

What QB can succeed in a Les Miles offense where everything you do is easily schemed and predicted by the defense? Les may be the worst QB developer in the history of the SEC.

He walked on and Kirby thought he would never play so he left to go play juco. Kirby didn’t even want to play him when he came back the 2nd time. It just happened to work out for Bennett more so than Kirby seeing something in him.

Without looking I'd bet blindly that all positions would have around the same percentage(far, far less than 50%, probably even 25%) of hits/misses. You're using selective reasoning based on an incomplete set of facts. It's truly very simple, not all 5 and 4* kids pan out. Not all 3* are bums. However, having more of the former on your roster to develop and pick from is exceedingly more fruitful than a roster full of 3 stars. Google national champs and recruiting rankings and see how they correlate. The anomalies are just that.
Our OL recruiting is fine. Ivy was a want but a bonus. 3 weeks ago he was a hope and prayer. Far different from the true concerning losses such as, Mack, Simmons and likely McKinley. Those were all ones where we were perceived to be in the advantageous position at points, until the reality came to be that Simmons may have been the only one we really had a shot with.
I'm all for development but the adage "Jimmie and joes beat x's and o's" is rooted in some form of fact, as with all stereotypes. Recruiting below standard will lead to a below standard program. Those deemed "cinderellas" are celebrated for a reason. They aren't the standard for the arena they're playing in. They tend to disappear quickly and quietly. I get it, some of us have a different standard we hope to achieve. If we all had the same, there'd be less of these debates of how we can build greatness using below standard tools.

This is such nonsense. We must be the most successful 3 star recruit school in the history of sports. You can’t really be an LSU fan. It’s almost too dumb. Think about that.

I don’t necessarily mean this about you but I’m just going to say that what Bama has done in recruiting over the last 15 years or so has broken a bunch of you mentally. It has kind of warped not only your expectations of how we need to recruit STRICTLY ON PAPER to have success, but also your perception of the value of these kids without knowing anything about them. I get caught up in it too sometimes but according g to you we are the anomaly. Look at our championship teams. How many anomalies does it take to not be an anomaly anymore?

Bet you it’s not
QBs and Linemen have the most
RBs have the least
