re: Shea crystal ball - CB Nathaniel Wiggins to LSU (8/10 confidence)

I never once devalued the actual kid and even acknowledged his tools.

I was simply skeptical of his recruitment considering we are DBU coming off a national title without the summer camp circuit. Recruiting this particular cycle may be the most fascinating for a number of reasons.

So don't think I was ever saying Wiggins isn't worthy. That is not the case. For all who follow recruiting, you read between the lines at times and look for the indicators to gauge a prospect and his recruitment. It's far from an exact science as we don't really know what goes on behind the scenes.

When we target a 3-star player that Bama legit wants - like Xavier Hill - then that's unquestionably a strong sign regardless of his star rating. On the flip side, we see highly rated 4-stars all the time who clearly are overrated when you look at their offers etc. So I'm far from a star gazer, I just happen to think Wiggins recruitment is interesting especially if he's the lone CB we end up taking this class. No way do I think he's an average prospect, he can clearly play.
