Interesting stuff here on recruits from Louisiana who don’t “fit”

Why do you propose this is a reference to McKinley or any other particular player?

Read between the lines my guy. The top 2 players in the state are heading elsewhere……..

That quote has nothing to do with McKinley
You don't offer his younger brother if you don't want him to be a Tiger

In the end, my guess is NIL played a big role

What's ironic is Bama does not have to play the biggest NIL threats in Aggies and Longhorns in 2024 sec schedule

You're either aligned or not. Best of luck to those players.

Are you implying McKinley is going elsewhere because Kelly thinks he doesn't fit at LSU? C'mon now....

Don't think that's the case at all, if you don't think he's a fit for the team then you wouldn't be trying so hard to get him in the fold.

Bingo CC. The kids who want to get a massive pay day up front rather than earn NIL through on field results and eventually a career in the NFL don’t belong here. Some kids just have to find out the hard way.

read between the lines moron .... neither truly wanted to be here .... actions speak louder than words !

coaches did everything they could to recruit and LSU laid out the red carpet ... neither McK nor Mack showed any interest in committing to LSU. NEITHER player took an official to LSU as the writing is on the wall ... they had desires to play elsewhere and leave the State.

Regardless if they're in-state or OOS, I want recruits who truly want to be at LSU and will commit to help this team win a NC.

I think Mack was turned off by the excitement around the other DBs in this class, which is loaded. Mckinley just seems like a total whiff to me, and at a critical position. Football and NIL is just one piece of the puzzle and the staff seems to have not picked up on that.

Sucks when UGA and Bama go layers and layers of top notch DLmen. Back to the portal for a school that produced players like Lavalais, Dorsey, Brockers, Bennie Logan…

Who cares. If we really thought they were worth the $$, we would pony it up.

Well here’s the thing about that, CBK wouldn’t allow them to use their official over the summer.

These are 2 pieces of the puzzle, would you care to share what pieces of the puzzle our coaches aren't picking up on?

Don't think either of those reasons is the case. LSU was recruiting Mack as a S, and apparently he views himself as a CB. There's a mis-alignment there.

And for Dom, his family is stressing academics, which no offense to LSU, but UT is a superior academic institution, and especially in computer science, which is what he's supposedly interested in studying.

There's obviously quite a few other contributing factors as well, but those stuck out.

Except it sounds a lot like McKinley is going to A&M
