re: Is Duke Riley really a Four(4) Star?

Duke might be the most overrated player out there by Tiger fans. He has Ole Miss, TCU and not a damn thing else. Not Nebraska or a Tx Tech or a Louisville or a Arizona yet yall want to put him on full ride. LSU can get better players this year or next instead of offering him to keep him away from Ole Miss essentially. He is good, pretty damn good but let's get serious about what caliber players we should expect here.

Hate to break the news to you but TCU has a better history of sending LBs to the NFL than LSU. TCU has sent 4 to LSU's 2 since 2007. Also, Ole Miss has sent 2 during that time. It would be wise for any school to pay attention to who TCU thinks is good on defense. Of course, in fairness, I believe a lot of TCU's success has less to do with what comes in as much as how they are developed while at TCU.

As for Riley, he is a little undersized so he probably would perform better in the more pass happy Big12 rather than the run oriented SEC. But I suspect he isn't thinking about that and will end up at Ole Miss when it is all said and done as he has seemed to favor them throughout the process.
