UGA is the perfect spot for Donte. Probably the best recruiter on the West Coast but not a particularly good developer or CB coach. That won’t be an issue with Kirby and Muschamp. He’ll absolutely raid California on an annual basis.

I don’t know much about Belk other than UH’s pass defense was very bad.

I sure hope CBK has a plan, there is a lot of movement everywhere except LSU.

Nowadays gotta keep the cupboards stocked. Williams will do that. Talent should take care of the technique itself with Muschamp still coaching safeties. Williams should be able to do enough to make corners lockdown. Easy to coach when you got 5 stars lined up.

Belk was a hot DC name a few years ago.

So Lincoln is making great defensive hires for the year after Caleb leaves? Great timing

I still think LSU will hire Chevis Jackson for DBs coach. The Corey Raymond smoke is a cover just like the Lincoln Riley smoke was for HC.

He is from a family in Valdosta, GA, that is packed full of athletes. They had a tradition of playing at Carson-Newman, which was an NAIA power under Ken Sparks, and they were perenial D-II contenders for a long time.

Belk was part of the coaching staff for the 2012 national champion Valdosta State team. Then he took a GA position at Bama and was part of one of their championships.

He's been with Holgerson ever since.

He was a hot name for a while. I don't know what happened at Houston.
