Re: DB Recruiting and starting 2 TRUE Freshmen in RR and TW

I dont see how our CB play over the next 3-4 games is gonna sway hootie.

his mind is likely made up already

All recruits recognize LSU as DBU...they talk about it in interviews. No one's opinions have changed just because we've struggled this year. They assume we'll get it corrected, as do I.

this is a huge positive if 2 true freshman play well. all top end recruits think they are the best thing yet so it would not deter them to see 2 true freshman starting. it would hurt if they were soph or jr. and seemed entrenched.

Thats what i love about the db position at LSU. It doesnt matter if your a fifth year senior starting at corner or safety, if a freshman comes in and is more talented, bye bye.

Jalen Mills started last year and looked pretty good as a true freshman. Someone better came in and took his spot.

Has this been confirmed? Will RR21 be starting in place of Mills tomorrow or is it that you're just assuming it being it definitely looks as though the staff is moving in that direction?

He should get some more pt

we may go mills and tre at CB in the 4-3

go with Tre and RR21 at CB and bump Mills inside in the nickel

Essentially what we did with TM7 and Simon. RR21 in the simon roll and Mills in the TM7 roll.

It may not be the kids; may be the db coach

I doubt that the way the defensive backfield play for either lsu or bama really talks much for recruits. If anything works in our favor.
Lsu was under the radar this year, and bama was supposed to be loaded in that area.
Both have played par thus far.

Is this for your creative writing class? Because it's fiction. Jalen Mills is the starter and the #1 corner on this team. RR displacing Mills is a Rant fable, at least so far. My guess is that if RR earns a starting job TW will hit the bench. I doubt it happens though; I believe what you saw the last game is the plan for the rest of the year - Mills and White start, and Mills slides to slot when we go three corners. I base this on my own observation that Mills has been a dominant corner for LSU for two years. He looks as good as Mo ever was, and he's definitely better than Simon was. The young'uns probably have even more potential, though. Next year should be interesting.
