Not for LSU I haven't and neither has anyone else. Jai and Phelon came in with just as much hype, but people forget about that and move on to the next hyped up player. It was the same with KW, Luke Sanders and RP.
It's hard for Freshman to start in the SEC and especially for good teams with depth. As great as CJ was, he didn't play until late in the season and never started. Jai and Hawkins have actual game experience. PJ has high school experience. Hell, Phelon, Brooks and Williams have at least been practicing against LaFell, Byrd and Tolliver. Just let the coaches decide who will play when and stop saying that every 5 star player we sign will be starting by what date.

Jai... in terms of rating, maybe... in terms of hype, no. Phelon... no. Patrick Johnson has been the most hyped cover corner I can remember to be honest with you.

No one's saying he'll start off the bat. We're arguing he more than likely won't redshirt.

People don't understand. This is a player that comes around every 5-6 years. He is physically ready to play at the highest level in D1 ball right now. PJ has been working out in BR and local highschool coaches have said he is the best player that they have ever seen and they believe he'll be starting next year.
