re: Recruiting in Louisiana has been great but losing 2 in the top 5 stings…

His Dad isn’t, he wants Dom to make his own decision on commitment, his Mom on the other hand is the one with most influence

Yep sounds like ole mom is gonna be the one to screw LSU over lol

Lol - guess you don't follow recruiting

To anyone expressing concern about recruiting; how much to you give to the NIL collective?

Everyone who follows recruiting has already chalked him up as a miss

How can it be a miss if McKinley never truly wanted to go to LSU ?
If he was die-hard and wanted to play in TS on Saturday nights, he would have already made it publicly known, regardless of when LSU offered.
LSU NIL could offer him $1M and he's still very much infatuated with Texas.
You believe everything the dad is telling you, as Dominick wants to do his own thing and LSU isn't in the picture.
Based on his actions and talk, he was NEVER high on LSU and wanted to explore OOS options.
Official Visits - 6/2 tOSU, 6/9 - A&M, 6/16 - OU, 6/23 - Texas, not even an LSU official visit ??? and his commitment date is 12 days away on 9/2

FWIW, on 11/7/22 he wasn't even ranked - NR (So. and most of his Jr. year)
LSU offered McKinley on 1/27/23 - after UT, OU, A&M, and before UGA and tOSU.
on 2/23/23, he blew up to a 5-star and ranked #102 nationally ...
You can't make a horse drink water, as it's obvious McKinley has no thirst for LSU.

In the past we lost these players to Bama.
Now it's the highest bidder.
Just the way it is now.
It's money that can help these families out before they ever play a NFL snap. Can't blame them.

Speaking of which, I'm actually surprised the 186 billionaires & celebrity-making machine in California didn't make USC/UCLA & the PAC-12 a CFB force, much less let it implode. (Maybe they are all carpet-baggers with no Cali school affiliations ???)

Same goes for New York and their 135 billionaires. The northeast schools technically should be making noise like it's 1933 all over again.

I also thought Oregon was gonna be an NIL powerhouse with the NIKE money & athlete branding.

The state of Texas has 73 billionaires, and while they do get some top prospects to attend their colleges, there's not a contender, much less a powerhouse, in the whole state.

It's all very curious.

I don't talk to his dad dude

No clue about inside info
But I don’t think McKinley was ever a lock, if so why not commit??
And as for Mack, it seems like he wants to play a different position than what Lsu is offering him and to me the wringing on the wall was when we took commitment from the oos CB a month are so ago, I forgot his name!!
But Lsu will be fine regardless, yes I really wanted both but McKinley even more for future wise, but it is what it is, I hope we land em both but if not, oh well, they are tiger bait

We are having unusually hot weather now but at ou or osu this temperate is normal
