Coming out of highschool, are any of these 3 CB prospects of ours as college ready as Kevin Toliver? I know Toliver had a TON of work with some high profile coaches, ex- NFL players, etc. throughout his highschool career, so we knew he would likely step right in and see some playing time. I'll be honest I haven't watched much film on them, just what I read on here.

Saivion is pretty good.

Saivion could start nickel possibly.
Hopefully White stays one more year so all these guys have one year under there belt before taking the throne

All can contribute next year. Saivion is probably the one I would compare to Toliver as far as being "college ready"

I think the biggest obstacle for a CB is simply having the physicality to press and bump and run with these big tall SEC receivers who have had 2-3 years in their weightroom and workout programs. Even Toliver at times got exposed by just being outmanned physically.

Fulton seems pretty thin, he'll have to bulk up some to play as a freshman. Kid can ball, though. He'll be a stud.

KT2 got beat a lot this year. He def has talent just has to get used to the speed and learn to play the game with his head more not just his god given talent

Tolliver really needs to work on turning his head and tracking the ball.

I wouldnt say he was beat alot this year. He was in great position most of the times. Not turning his head around to locate and make a play on the ball was his issue.

Corners are taught to turn their head around as late as possible. Turning your head early makes you run slower.

PP7 and Mo. Claiborne mastered it.

Fulton
ETA:
He will add 20 lbs. He has the hips, athleticism, and polish to be game-ready as a CB. If Donte Jackson at 85 lbs soaking wet can play, Fulton can play.

IDK what games you were watching. The only times he got beat were in busted coverages and when he refused to turn his head around on what otherwise could have been INTs.
With Arranda simplifying the defense, and with more experience and coaching he should be able to correct his weaknesses.
I can't remember a single time where he was just flat out beat in man to man coverage. He was always right on guys.

Irrelevant, there is a difference between turning your head around at the right time, and never turning your head around at all. Toliver could have had another 2 or 3 INTs if he just looked back for the ball.

Saivion Smith is legit. Very good football skills and instincts. The only thing he lacks is elite speed, but he makes up for it in other ways. I'd be surprised if he doesn't play early in his career.

Saivion will be here during spring ball, so my guess is him.

I slept at a Holiday Inn Express, so that makes me an expert. So, yes, they are both ready to start day one!

Agreed. Imagine him next year after what Moffitt will do to him this off season.

They all can go, but Jackson and Toliver are legit.

I agree. Seems like people are sleeping on Jackson. I was really impressed with him late in the year.
