Four-star LSU defensive back commit Major Burns from Baton Rouge has decommitted from the Tigers.
quote:

"I've enjoyed my time as a LSU commit, making a lot of lasting relationships along the way, but it's time to turn the page and move on to the next chapter. I am officially an uncommitted prospect."

Burns was a one-time Texas A&M commit but backed off his verbal pledge to the Aggies before committing to LSU in June. The Madison Prep Academy prospect is rated the No. 11 safety in the country for the class of 2020, according to 247 Sports.

The departure of Burns leaves LSU with 23 verbal commits for the class of 2020.

Hate to see LA talent, esp. BR talent “processed”

I suspect he came to this decision on his own. It doesn't seem wise to "process" local athletes and burn bridges with their coaches who will be supplying your team with talent for years to come.

People have really used that crutch, lately. Making to a CFP doesn’t put us or anyone above a 4 star athlete. Not sure how much depth we have at S as it is, and Greene looks like he may be on the way out, too.

So reading his statement it seems like he was processed. Most that decommit will usually say they aren’t closing the door on the school or something along those lines. He completely shut the door on it.

I really wish these kids would stop with trying to sound like philosopher's when they decommit.

haha...so true. what he is said makes no sense but reads like he thinks he is wise beyond his years. I am guessing dude got a better offer $$$

You have nothing to support that to even make it educated “guessing”
user avatar
Does anyone know if he was indeed “processed”. Seems like there have been several processed. Who are the guys coming in? Also does a recruit have to be processed in order to take a Grad Tansfer?

Speculation mostly driving the processed tag. Undefeated and division champs. Team is looking positive and everyone wants to be here, yet we have 4 stars decommitting? Doesnt add up, therefore getting the "processed" tag.

Another 1 bites the dust. Being #1 gets you better recruits apparently...

Let's be honest here, Major Burns is a horrible name for a DB.

Why do we even go through this process? We work who wants to be here. These kids who have not played at the next level believe they have some power to ask for more perks. That is simply what it comes down to!

We are loaded with good young talent in DB/Corner positions. Nice to get more, but I think we are good for next year.

Exactly. We signed 4 CBs last year.

Don't like the sound of all these 4* commits leaving...we have no guarantee of getting anything better down the road.

I’m pretty sure they aren’t cutting these kids loose without having something firm already. Remember that nowadays a verbal commitment doesn’t mean shite until they’re actually signed.

i understand kids want to change, but that is a strange message he sent out. enjoyed his time as a commit but its time to turn the page? dont think this kid understand what commit means

I don’t think you understand why our three and four star commitments are dropping like flies...
