All the same year? Imo, the most impressive fact from the 2001 UM team is that those three DBs were all taken in the first round for the same year.

add Tyrann and Ron Brooks to that list as well. I'm not saying that they were nearly as talented as the 2001 Miami secondary, but there was an abundance of talent in that group

Toliver doesn't even graduate highschool untill 2015, so you're looking at 2016 before he's even on the field. But i agree, pending on the rest of this years recruiting class, LSU could be more loaded then ever in the defensive backfield in the coming years.

But did they have the hardware to back it up? LSU had 2 Thorpes and 2 Bednariks out of that group. That's just absurd.

We are stealing Toliver from FL and another 5 star CB from Fl.. Tavarus McFadden has named us his leader....another 2015 stud.

Florida is just on of those states that produce elite talent. Always been like that, always will.

No reason why LSU shouldn't win a Natty as "loaded" as you seem to be. Talent only takes you so far and then things like coaching, heart and leadership must follow. I don't dislike LSU as much as some and am always pulling for yuns against Sabear but your fans make it difficult to like you guys too much. Still get my vote over bammer and THuga but if you guys ever figure out how to utilise your playmakers on offense you will be tough to beat no matter who we are talking about. If your offense is any good at all you guys will have WR's coming out your asses! I hope we along with you guys are able to put Tigers back on top of the SEC.

Third different team he has named his "leader." I'd be shocked if he leaves the state.
Posted on 8/27/13 at 3:33 pm to TheOcean
who were his other leaders?

UF (not yet offered)/FSU.

2001 Miami:
Mike Rumph, Ed Reed, James Lewis, and Philip Buchanon.
Three first rounders, one six rounder.
Taylor was also a Safety on that team...and started in 2002 (I think he was behind Reed, what a starter/backup combo)

At the risk of being called a racist, etc, I had a SE historian (who was an African American) explain this very question about the distribution/size of African American athletes. African Americans during the slave trading years were literally breed to perform certain jobs. In Florida, much of GA, much of south AL, and the delta area of the MS and LA, plantations needed a smaller, quicker worker to work their crops. Areas that bought slaves for more difficult, labor intensive tasks bought big, strong men. That's why the timber areas of Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi produce huge, fast African American athletes. Of course there are always exceptions, and families move over time, but that's how it was explained to me in general.

If you are going to use somebody why not Hasean Clinton-Dix they are proven in the SEC.
But yes, its a large state that the local high school football has very advanced passing games. In fact high school passing games in my opinion are forcing High School DB coaching to get better. I mean if you are playing 10 spread teams you have to coach your DBs a lot more closer than we did playing 10 Wing T/Power I/Wishbone teams. This means the kids are getting taught technique and schemes that are much closer to college level work than they were even 5 but especially 10 years ago.
