McKinley & fam kept repeating that they wanted to be close enough to see both boy’s games on back-to-back days. College Station being 90 to 120 minutes closer to Lafayette, LA was a major part of the decision.
Recently McKinley has mentioned SYRACUSE FUCKING NEW YORK as a school that he’s interested in.
You can drive to Austin and then back to College Station before you can drive to an airport, go through security, wait to board, board a plane, wait to take off, fly to the first of your one to two layover stops, land… change planes… make it to Syracuse.
Now they have thrown in Oklahoma City & Columbus, Ohio as possible locations that would at least be closer than Syracuse, but are still “Are you fucking kidding me?” farther away and harder to get to than Austin from Lafayette.
I am more than happy to “lose” the recruiting battle for this one. The focus doesn’t seem to be on football bringing riches as much as just riches and then… we’ll figure out prepping for the NFL later on down the road.
