Cornerback fail silver lining

All signs point to us having a huge DB class along with OL. And it’s all much needed

That is, unless one goes down this year..way too thin.

Well to be fair, I didn’t write that it’s a good thing we did not sign a corner this year. It was a fail. The silver lining is that the 2019 corner class in La is about as stacked as it possibly could be.

Don't forget Hampton

all have been leaning to us for 3 years. we're their "dream schools."

Hopefully we get at least four corners next year. We only signed one corner the last two years. It’s very possible our corner depth chart in 2019 will be Vincent, Joseph borrowed from safety, and true freshmen.

I don’t care how good these 2019 guys are supposed to be, they are still freshmen. Fulton and Savion were five stars, and neither were college ready.

Could see that especially the current year. Try to find a guy with one year to help immediately and if a multi year kid that we think can help for a couple years is there, grab him too.
Definitely 3, try for 4 for 19. Grab Stingley and Bush, then press oos kids while taking stock of the other instate kids.

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).

19 is make or break for the future of Tiger fooball

So I have written twice now that not getting Surtain and or Goodrich was a fail. Of course we needed corners this year.

So your argument is that its not a good thing or silver ling that 2019 is loaded with corners?

Would we not be in way more trouble if in 2019 there were no top corners in La?

I get why everyone is mad we didn't get Surtain, I am too. But can we not still post stuff that is remotely positive when supported by the facts?

Next year is a great year for corners and given we did not get one this year, I truly do not understand how the state being loaded with corners next year is not a silver lining.

You're making me think about this same time last year.

I was so stoked imagining how stacked our DB haul was gonna be cuz at the time LSU was the frontrunner for:

Patrick Surtain
Anthony Cook
Kelvin Joseph
Nadab Joseph

It's still hard to process how DBU, which looked so promising early on & had annually been a NSD position group of Tiger pride, mind-boggling underwhelmed.
