Mills will start without a doubt. He will be a stud before he leaves LSU

No doubt about it. He was our best CB this past season IMO as a true freshman. Cant wait to see how he improves to next year. I actually thought Mills and Collins both player better than Simon did this past year when they were in the game.

And i know everyone is excited about White, I am too. But we dont know what he can do at this level yet. Sure, he comes highly regarded and should be solid, but we dont know that yet. We know Collins can play at this level. He had a good season and improved as the season progressed and started getting quality PT. He was freshman All SEC last season. I can see White being the #3 CB on the team that we bring in when we go nickle, but if he starts with Mills we would have no size on the outside. I think Collins will be step into the Simon/Claiborne role of guarding the other teams #1 and we move Mills around just like we did last year with White coming in as the nickle. Look at the past few years. We always have 1 big body CB out there taking away 1 side of the field, with everyone else man to man on the other WRs.

Im pumped about White and think he could be a great 1, but from what Ive seen Collins can play at a high level and we have been grooming him for that Claiborne spot for this coming up year. I think its his time and he has a big season.
