In the short term it's better not to have Landry taking up a scholly, but you can guarantee this will be used against him in recruiting and probably kills any chance at Lindsey in particular. I don't know what he was thinking ever offering Landry.

Kill the chances? No
I think there has been enough of a relationship built with Lindsey by Cuonzo and Webster that it doesn't kill the chances, now will the HP coach try and deter Jalen because of the mess with Landry...definitely. The HP coach didn't help Landry's chances of keeping that scholarship at Tennessee either, based on how Travon regressed under his coaching. Yep. In the short term it's better not to have Landry taking up a scholly, but you can guarantee this will be used against him in recruiting and probably kills any chance at Lindsey in particular.
