re: 4 Star CB Jordan Matthews commits to Tennessee

I'm not discounting LSU, they have put a ton of talent into the league since 2010. But you're bringing in all new coaches and a new system. Matthews very well could develop into an NFL draft pick at Tennessee.

A lot of the guys listed were balling out as Freshmen then schools come in to claim they "developed" them

I know its a recruiting tactic and Bama is probably more guilty than anyone of using it, but a lot of these guys were always going to get to the NFL as long as they kept their noses clean. Recruiting guys missing an eval on a guy like Mathieu who came in and balled out immediately doesn't mean LSU "developed" him necessarily even if he was a 3 star.
