is he really gonna be that big of an asset to your defense?

I think so.

Not everyone has a roster with 5* stacked like cord wood. Malkom Parrish is a solid corner. Juwan Briscoe has loads of potential but hasn't played a ton. Aaron Davis is plucky and has made some plays but he's not going to make any All-SEC lists. And our nickel Rico McGraw has talent but again hasn't really made a mark. Even if you overlook the fact that we have a pretty alright starting group, our depth is fairly thin at DB. Even if MS doesn't come in and set the world on fire, just having another capable DB on the roster will do wonders.

Plus it's just exciting in general. How often do you get a high 4* guy ranked nationally in the top 10 at his position come to your school as a senior and can step in immediately?
