For those wondering there seems to be 3 HS kids LSU is still pursuing.

Cohen Echols 4* IOL
Dominick McKinley 5* DL
Terry Bussey 5* Athlete

I’ve seen where Echols is signing today and announcing Friday. It looks like LSU is in the driver seat with Auburn being a close second.

Terry Bussey and Dominick McKinley are the Crown Jewels, and would immediately sky rocket LSU’s recruiting ranking.

There’s a lot of smoke surrounding McKinley trending back to the good guys. Some even saying LSU has become the leader. I think LSU closes out on McKinley, and would give everybody around these parts a lot of optimism.

Terry Bussey I’m skeptical on, but I think there’s a 50/50 chance we land him.

All in all, it looks like LSU could close out with another 2-3 commitments, likely pushing LSU towards the top 5.

I’d like McKinley purely for the fact it’s an extra plus to add to us and subtract for A&M but I think he’s a bit overrated.

Echols is another one thatd be nice but I love our Oline roster already. Bussey would be the gem of the class

His rating is based on physical metrics and games where he plays up to them but he has way too many big moments/games where he seems to not show up. But coaching, nutrition, and S&C may help alleviate some of that. But I think he isn't going to A&M though I think he may be split between Texas and LSU.

Echols 50%
McKinley 20%
Bussey 10%

Any of the 3 would be lagniappe at this point

I disagree about the odds you listed for McKinley.

Ask yourself why Kelly and staff would have taken a recent visit if it was a pipe dream? Why did McKinley not sign today? Why does McKinley have an official visit scheduled to LSU next month supposedly accompanied by family? Gerry Hamilton and UnluckyTiger have made some interesting remarks regarding Dom.

20% isn't a pipe dream, but Texas is the new team to beat

Signing the 3rd most players at 4-star or higher doesn’t help with ALL the 3-stars?

Assuming no one above us moves, here is an idea of what we get. I did this using the 247 calculator.



I feel like I have one or two goofs when I do these so if you see anything, please call me out preferably in the most snarky of ways
