A little worried about defensive back recruiting but more specifically CB. We don’t have much depth there and a lot of the guys we do have are upperclassman. We have a few guys committed in this class so far but not really any super high ranked CBs. Also concerned as highly touted instate guys like Jordan Mathews and Derek Williams are looking elsewhere. What are y’all’s opinions on this? Result of Corey Raymond leaving?

Also how does the state look in 2024 for DBs

We currently lead for 5 star corner Javien Toviano so hopefully we can land him and you can feel a little better…

It's crazy to me that Matthews isn't even considering us given our dire need for more CBs.

He could come here and start receiving significant playing time in his freshman year.

Don't think it's as big a concern as some are making it out to be. LSU looks like they're starting to shift to recruiting more DBs and you always have the transfer portal. They're guaranteed to have some stars in it by the end of this season. Portal recruiting is just as important as HS recruiting now for this reason. It eliminates any roster instability caused by a bust recruiting class.

There will be undoubtedly some portal tampering to get guys that look great on crappy teams or small teams to enter the portal. It's going to be a common theme now. Anyone who looks like an All-American that slipped through the cracks in HS and ended up at some small college is going straight to someone like LSU, Bama, etc.

I don't think so. Our cornerback recruiting hasn't been great for several years now. Without looking, I think we've only landed 2 blue chip corner prospects in the last 6 cycles (Stingley in 2019 and Ricks in 2020) and Raymond had very little to do with landing either of them.

Y’all think we get Mathews if we end up flipping Collins?
