Cornerback fail silver lining

There is no silver lining. We would have needed these guys whether we got Surtain or not, and with Miles we loaded up on corners in just about every class (too much at some times).

Losing Surtain probably increases our chances of getting Stingley and perhaps two of the other four:

Not really. Even getting Surtain and Goodrich would have left us with depth issues. Right now we are putting athletes and safeties at corner because we have zero depth.

Fulton is up in the air, and LSU can't catch a break with medical redshirts so Paris is also up in the air, and should be removed from CB discussion. We would have had Greedy and Surtain as starters with Vincent probably playing nickel and backing up one of the guys with Goodrich backing up the other. In total 5 corners (including Kirklin) without having anybody switch positions "this year".

With Greedy likely declaring early, you would have only 4 real corners and LSU is DBU, so we need at least 7 on deck. Stingley sees that opportunity to start. The others see that opportunity to start/claim a backup spot (where they would see action early and often).
