When [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] came to LSU, he made a mission to keep the best players from Louisiana in Louisiana. That initiative was called “Recruit the Boot.” Let’s check and see how well he accomplished that goal with the 2024 recruiting class.
Of the top 10 Louisiana recruits in the 2024 class, LSU has signed eight of them. The only ones they did not sign are [autotag]Wardell Mack[/autotag], a four-star cornerback who signed with Texas, and [autotag]Dominick McKinley[/autotag], who won’t sign until February. The Tigers still have a chance to land McKinley and make the final tally nine out of ten.
As of now, McKinley is committed to Mike Elko and the Texas A&M Aggies. We will see if Kelly can get McKinley to flip before February. Last year, the Tigers only landed five out of ten so this is a definite upgrade and proof that Kelly is staying true to his word. He is keeping the best players home in Louisiana.
