Four-star wide receiver Jakai Anderson has flipped his commitment from LSU to SMU.

The 6-0, 160-pound receiver from McDonogh 35 High in New Orleans originally committed to LSU back June of 2024. Now, he's headed to SMU.

Odd to go from LSU to SMU. I guess Boobie maybe coming home?

He’s fourth on the list of recruits right now, and they are still going after 3-4 others. Not surprised.

It’s not odd at all, SMU is known to have a shitload of money, plus they went to the playoffs before us. They are a legit contender again this upcoming season and will probably be the best team in the state of Texas this year.

They are not a legit contender. They are always a threat to make the playoffs because their league is way down. But they are not, and never will be, a legitimate contender for the championship.

He'll regret it, but at his age, he doesn't understand the implication...yet.

Granted, this is a different offense from when Trey Quinn was here but he did pretty good going to SMU.

SMU has big donors. The area around university has upper class neighborhoods. I was impressed. I told my wife SMU will be big players buying a football program.

Considering they were the 1st D1 football program in NCAA History to get the death penalty in the late 80's; i'd say they're pretty proficient in buying a football program

Sounds like LSU may have received a silent commitment and Anderson thinks he will see more playing time at SMU.

Whatever the reason, he didn’t think he wanted to attend LSU…and I respect that. Good luck to him in the future.

I use to stay up with recruiting. Not anymore. Commitments don’t mean a thing. Even signing has lost its luster as this is only a one year thing anymore.

SMU has a $1.4 billion NIL war chest. They will continue to make waves but this shouldn’t affect LSU.

Clear path to the NFL with LSU. No recognition at SMU. Makes sense. Sounds like a smart choice.
