re: Newsflash: Claiborne and Tyrann were not diamonds in the rough

Once someone commits and shuts down his recruitment, they stop updating his profile.

The big difference here is that Tyrann earned his offers on the camp circuit, which is a pretty regular course for how guys who are "off the radar" in their rising-senior summer blow up. There was anticipation and excitement about his recruitment and commitment even though it came over the summer.
At the time LSU got the commitment from Mathieu he sure was a "diamond in the rough." He got his hype from the Tennesse Camp which was more than a month prior to LSU offering/his commitment. If he was so highly sought after then he would have gotten many more offers during that period. LSU saw the "diamond in the rough" early and capitalized on getting him to commit before other teams figured it out.

You can live in that false reality if you want. Mathieu was one of the hottest names in the recruiting circuit by the time he committed to LSU.
I see two components for someone to truly be a diamond in the rough...first, you find someone no one knows about and second, you see potential in that player that no one else does. If both exist, then you have a diamond in the rough.
If Dexter Blackmon had come to LSU and become a first round talent, then he would have fit this description
TM7 has neither of those qualities and Mo has the first, but not the second.
