I know Webb School is a prep not truly local school, but it seems odd that their player ends up at LSU. NIL ?

I'm sure NIL is a factor for some. I suspect that a lot of these players want to hop on the glory train. They see the attention these schools get on TV and from national media, and they want to be part of it. It's a huge sense of pride to sign with one of the blue bloods, and I believe they all think they're good enough to be one of the stars for that program. That's what they've been told since they were knee high. Some will wind up disappointed with their role on the team.

But, I have no doubt your point about NIL is valid, too.
