re: Where does LSU get all these great DS's from?

Then go ahead and re-evaluate Brent Calloway.

I'll go ahead and do that then. You know, because I work for Rivals and everything.

And again...this was a thread about LSU's DBs, who are awesome.



Personally, I'm looking at Brandon Taylor to be the new captain of our defense in the absence of Kelvin Sheppard. Throw in Craig Loston, and rotate in Eric Reid, and we'll have the best safeties in the SEC.

Corner isn't too shabby, either, with Claiborne, Simon, and Mathieu holding it down.

We're also bringing in one of the best cover corners in Texas this year in David Jenkins, and another little ball of terror named Micah Eugene from Lafayette.

That's debatable. Mark Barron is a two time All-American and Robert Lester finished second in the nation in INTs. We add Ha'Sean Clinton-Dix and bring back Robby Green, a part time starter in 2009. Jarrick Williams and Nick Perry are coming along nicely in their development.

No, I understood it perfectly.

Thought it was dumb and didn't need an explanation.

Well, don't suggest one of Alabama's "DBs" should not count as such, when that's what he'll play, when Calloway is evaluated as a LB, but will play RB.

I doubt he does. He's recovering from an injury that would prevent him to do a Pro Day or private work outs.

For such an expert you are conviently leaving out depth factor.

I don't claim to know what is going through the guy's head.

No, I just think it is irrelevant to the point, which is that Roberson is still up in the air.

There are plenty of good reasons to go to Florida, too. That is the part you are leaving out.

Look, he might go to Auburn. He might go to Florida. We don't know. Just stop trying to count him in the class right now.

This is a losing battle until he commits. I think we can all recognize a lock when we see one, like Erique.

(just for Tx) And if Roberson does commit to Auburn, we will have a better DB class than both bama and FSU, even with your 3 star counting.

I agree.

There are some LA DBs we've let slip away recently, much to my dismay.

Janzen Jackson is the most obvious and high profile. I don't really want to get into that.

Prentiss Waggner is another guy who plays for Tennessee. He did really well at our camp and I never understood why we didn't offer him. I'd rather have him than say, Ryan St. Julien, who is buried on our depth (different years, but I'm just sayin).

The one who got away this year is Floyd Raven. He's headed to Ole Miss. He got injured and missed our camp, and by the time our staff got a good look at him we already had Jenkins and Jalen Collins, both good cover guys.

Then we have Micah Eugene who will play that nickel back blitzing position that lil T-Rex played this year, and we've got a pretty solid class.

Still, I have a feeling Floyd Raven will be good.

Cooper is the BEST DB coach in the country. I have no doubt. Look what he did with South Carolina. He needs to be kept if there are coaching changes.
