Not sure what you mean?

Let’s bet! If he was going to transfer he would have done so last year.

I've taken my share of tongue lashings(wink wink) around here lately and see youre getting it here, knowing your handle , I also know this is for kicks. It's good to rile them up sometimes to bring out their hypocrisy.

The point, reading this thread is like literally watching a worm on a hook squirm trying to figure out what's happening. The level of reasoning some of you go through to make yourselves feel better is insane. Good thing receipts are kept on this site(post history). Go back a couple of weeks when all the Texas buzz was going on, the tune was different regarding Mack, our level of confidence(trust Frank), how elite he was(we had to have him and the class depended on it), the anticipation of the Splash visit to heal all(um), and more egregiously, the shouting down and personal attacks on anyone who begged to differ with the flavor of the Kool aid(conspiracy has been truth a lot here lately). Now "we'll be fine", "Macks grow on trees in LA" and the aged old tactic of questioning the kids intelligence level for daring to have the thought of going anywhere but LSU.
Now I never post my thoughts as an intended troll but it just turns into it because it's just so damn easy to turn facts to troll because of the absolute fantasy land some of you live in. A small example of the reflection of the country as a whole. Narratives keep spinning until the right fit is found, history(your own words) be damned. It's quite comical.
Yesterday was a huge positive regardless of Mack and everyone should feel good right now, even me, hard as that is to believe. 1 reason we should all be celebrating, and maybe I'm on a limb, Bryce Underwood. Him returning, against other schools plans, for the 3rd time since June, family in tow(moms bday before, anniversary this) just can't be reasoned anyway other than extremely positive. Hope you all feel the same. That is elite recruiting.

Except your OP isn't what the poster you replied to is talking about. The reason your OP is getting ridiculed is because of a few things:

1) Mack hasn't committed anywhere yet and you're posting like he's already gone.

2) the years you posted as an example were basically transition years of recruiting from when O left to Kelly getting all his staff in place and rebuilding relationships with HS coaches.

3) some kids just don't want to be in state. Sounds like Mack may be that way so if he goes out of state what can we do? There's a difference between poor recruiting (a bad look as you put it) and a kids desire to want to live OOS.

4) over those same years we also got some OOS top 10 DBs. So when a kid wants to be OOS and we sign another top 10 kid in the same position group from OOS that isn't bad recruiting. That's adjusting to reality and filling a position of need with an attainable option rather than spinning your wheels on kids who don't want to stay in Louisiana for whatever reason.

5) we are very close to signing 10 out of 10 of the top Louisiana recruits, but the way you're post reads is that it's a "bad look" if we miss on one of them when it's really not considering we will likely end up with a minimum of 8 of the top 10 Louisiana recruits this year.

6) Matthew's went to the highest bidder. Lsu basically had to decide on Matthew's or Perkins and I think they made the right choice.

The reality, especially with NIL, is that it's extremely hard to get all of the top in state guys at any position to stay home every year. It's not a "bad look" it's the nature of current day recruiting.

They are different players that fill different defensive needs

DBU not being able to get the top DB from Louisiana three years in a row now. I understand we back fill with top talent from out of state, but this still is cause for concern. Bad look

Man, so much to unravel here. Kelly has only been here less than 2 recruiting seasons. He was left with a cluster. What he did was nothing short of amazing, in building a roster. He’s done this at every stop. It’s of no concern for me.

A talk about DBU

Buts it’s not…The staff has done a great job of getting top talent to stay home. Except for the top DB’s. This isn’t an opinion as bad you you people want to make it one.

It is an opinion that Mack is “officially” gone.
