Hootie is a nice player, but he's not in LC's realm IMO.


Okay my bad. It was mainly one guy.

No need to, I've seen both plenty. LC could play corner.



Yeah he could take snaps at corner. Hootie could be a starting corneback for the majority of schools. Big difference.

Shuttle doesn't make or break a defensive back. I don't understand why you act like that says if you can be a good defensive back or not.



Shuttle time is the most important measurement of a players ability to play corner. It's the best measurement for change of direction, feet quickness, and loose hips. This argument was about Hootie having more potential at corner than Collins. LC has more than enough speed at safety, but he wouldn't be a great fit as a starting cornerback in the SEC. While I think that Hootie could.

So if LC told the staff he wanted to play corner, would only play corner, and we still took his commitment, it would be a waste of a scholarship because he couldnt start for the majority of schools there in your mind? LC could be a starting corner for the majority of schools as well.

I've yet to find where Hootie ran a faster shuttle than LC.
