Can Dominick McKinley be what Maason Smith was supposed to be?

Dude is 5 Star plus DL. Seems to have the size. Will need a few more lbs. Will need to be on the field freshman year. He dominated the all American Games.

Nobody knows. Some 5 stars are hits, some are misses. Many on here thought he didn't deserve a 5 star rating based on his play this past year.

He’ll have better coaching, which may have been all Smith needed.

Dom will be fine. Seems like Bo worked with worse and made Texas into a decent DL. That's why if we get someone or another to fill in for the spring until the portal I'm not too worried. Other than the fact that those DL played spring for a completely different team.

Will probably be in the rotation at DE until he’s been in the strength program for a year.

No, he did not dominate at the All American game in San Antonio. I watched the entire game and he did squat. The hype was during the week on one-on-one confrontations at practices. I have no idea who those OL were. I did get the numbers of the OL he went against in the actual game and looked them up on the rosters...different players in different halves. The OL were not that highly rated at all and he did nothing in the game to distinguish himself. That is the truth of the situation.

He dominated the practices, not so much in the game.

I'm hoping Bo Davis is the difference. We haven't had a dominating interior defensive lineman since, who? Dorsey? Brockers?

Freak, Lawrence, Shelvin, Roy, Guillory, Maason...were all rated pretty high but sadly, underachieved according to their star billing/fan expectation.

He didn’t do shite in the state championship either, he was lazy.

Hopefully the staff can wake him up.

Your post is utter nonsense and I notice you didn't even say if you watched the game or not. My guess is you didn't! The rating of your post...FAIL!

Next time post like you have something of note to add.

With a DL coach like Bo Davis coaching him up, his ceiling is really high, he just needed better coaching, he performance in Under Armor practices with their staff was night and day from reg season

Yeah, LSU-DUDE, whoever the hell he is, acted like my post was garbage when I said the same thing you said. You can tell who watched the game such as you and I and who just decided to post out of ignorance like LSU-DUDE did. I was expecting more from DM having heard about the practice dominations. But once again, I know the players he went up against during the game...looked them up. The practices...who knows who he was going up against.
