A Louisiana kid was leaning bama, then leaned Texas, then committed to aTm.

Pretty good indication that college development and academics weren’t the driving factors in his recruitment.

Their slogan should be

Texas A&M: We do less with more.

Jacoby Matthews said something similar about their DB development. Sounds good in their heads but a quick fact check makes them look like dumbasses


It’s hilarious how they are spinning that they are getting all these d-linemen because their pass defense was upper tier in the SEC last year. They are completely ignoring the fact that they gave up 200+ yds a game rushing. Opposing offensive coordinators should’ve been fired for calling pass plays.

Hope he reconsiders his decision but nothing suggests that he’s going to be developed at 8&4.

Kid will be a monster in D1, very talented, but what more could we do. A&M is reeling in some great talent and Dom is certainly going to be a center piece in their program for years to come. Just move on with what we got and wish him well, but only when NOT playing LSU.

Why do I have to wish him well? I can just ignore him like I did with Sopsher

Or is “wish him well” on the same wavelength of southern women saying “bless your heart” which actually translates to “you dumb bitch”

Would've rathered him go to Texas.

A&m is stacking that d line talent

Eventually it will pay off.

I'm not even a huge mckinley guy. I could see him not living up to the 5 star status. He went to sit behind all those elite players they have on the dline.

I'm telling everyone, Melvin Hills is the one we need to flip. He's the better prospect

Here's the good news: They seem to be becoming more incompetent on the field.

I don't like it, that's for sure. But I think the track record of those who hold themselves out for the last dollar is not great so far.


When a teenager plays for money, it tends to distract him from staring at championships, because he's staring at his money.

LSU has never had to deal with hundreds of thousands of dollars taking kids away.

What's funny is all I hear living in Texas is how trashy LSU is, the people in LA are trashy, the place is trashy, etc. They get a verbal from a LA kid and it all goes out of the window


Texans are trashy.

I think there's a pretty track record of TAMU paying players to play for them and it not working out very well for the player or the school. If money is the reason you choose a school, please don't choose LSU.

The fact he considers A&M shows me he doesn’t care about winning. I only want to be losing recruits to Bama and Georgia. I want the dudes who are hungry for championships.
