Silly reasoning. Cant wait to see that fire lit under this kid for his senior season at IMG and then on to LSU

Prove em wrong and earn it back

yeah Jrevonte said he didn't ball out and was beat a lot at camp. Said Greedy actually looked great.

From my understanding he won't be 100% CB. he will be a hybrid. He is big and physical.

I love his swagger and moxie. Hope Shea doesn't convert him lol.

he is a safety all the way...if he stays in the top 30, he will be a 5 star at the end anyway

Lmao. Cause he is not levonta Taylor. He still is a top talent and if I am correct the star are based on if the kid will be a sure fire NFL talent. And smith is that

These sites invest entirely too much in combines and 7 on 7 football these days. Neal Burcham winning the Elite 11 combine tells me everything I need to know about how these camps translate into actual production. And no, that's not diminishing how phenomenal Shea Patterson probably is, but it'd be nice if game film were the tell all

I'm probably going to get ripped for this, but he had the worst film for a #1 rated corner I had ever seen. Not saying he is a bad player because I don't make those judgements until I see a player in person, but I was underwhelmed by his film.

but I would rather have that explanation than "he isn't Levonta Taylor"

Like saying Nick Chubb isn't LF7. that doesn't mean they aren't both elite.

Kinda agree, but still dont give a frick haha The kid can ball, has a great frame to build on, but more importantly really wants to be a Tiger. Good enough for me.

I don't care how many stars Saivion is. Glad to have him at LSU. The dude is a play maker. He may not be a 1 on 1 CB at this point in his career, but I'll take playmakers all day long. Coach Raymond will figure out where he fits best.

Watching the highlights from the opening I thought he did too. He was the best corner I saw. He definitely looked ball greedy and sticky.

I only saw Smith in one of the one on ones.

I'm sure that 4.62 was a big reason for the drop.

He had a great outing at the Opening so naturally they took his 5th star. Makes sense.

Running a 4.6 hasn't hurt the badger. Smith is a nickel/safety playmaker in the mold of Mathieu, not an island corner.

Greedy, Fulton, and hopefully Mullen are our boundary corners in this class.

But regardless, Savion is still 12th overall in the composite. Which is where he belongs as a hybrid DB

He didn't look great on that film I saw where they did 1on1. He was okay but not great.

To be honest, I'm kind of talking out of my arse haha. Heard he was really solid though from several sports media outlets.
