The noise is that it's a 2 team race between Texas and LSU for McKinley at this point. Though he also has an official visit scheduled with Tennessee.

I believe Echols has decided and will announce this Friday.

The early signing period is a 3 day window. Friday is his birthday. The school getting him knows.

Wrong Echols, that was the TE who decommitted from Tennessee. This Echols is an OL that decommitted from aTm.

The plan I heard was for Echols to sign today and it will be announced on Friday as other poster has stated.

I like LSU here since Davis has been able to green light it. That may have been cleared up after Bisontis was off the table as a transfer.

Brad Davis isn’t fricking around. Think about the transformation on the OL since he got here very late in the game in 2021. He has done a hell of a job.

Scratch that..sounds like AU may have won out for Echols according to a reliable poster on another board.

Huh? His family was at LSU in the last 5 weeks...they had an in-home visit in the last couple of weeks. He is supposed to visit LSU next month. What meets your standard of McKinley interest in LSU...seeing him wash Brian Kelly's car?

He was said to be faxing his LOI today, and announcing on his birthday on Friday. Most likely either LSU or Auburn.

I have no inside knowledge but Unlucky Tiger giving his sign for McKinley leads me to believe we will not take another OL in this class and leave room for the portal, Dom, and possible Bussey.

Just a guess though.

We have 5 already signed. If the numbers work for Coen great. All the depth/never know who emerges as a stud.

I agree and really like Cohen but maybe the coaches know something we don’t. Like I said it is a guess taken of of me reading the tea leaves from a very reliable poster. I would think he would give his sign if he knew Echols was in the boat.

Makes sense. One thing I won’t question under Kelly and Davis is OLine

Yeah it would be a shame for them to go to a place that gives them a great chance to be drafted high and create generational wealth for their family. And get a degree. And be set for life in Louisiana. Sounds like such a disadvantage.
