The good news is that we have an entire season of HS football to look at this guy. The bad news... there isn't any, he could be asked to look somewhere else if he doesn't perform as expected.

2006:

Does Loadholt count here? I know there is an argument for and against him....

Perry Riley and Danny Mccray were 5.7 3 star.
Kelvin Sheppard was a 5.5 3 star.

2007:

None.

2008:
Really too early to tell with a lot of these guys...

PJ Lonergan and Lavar Edwards were 5.5 3 stars. I would say that Lavar was a gem.

Bunch of 5.7 3 stars, but none are really diamond is the rough types.

I saw not one post about him (Mathieu) until he committed, and if there had not been a youtube video, most people would have been saying the same about him. Then all of the sudden he gets rated by Rivals, turns out to be a 4*, and everyone thinks the staff is just great. Fast forward less than a day, and suddenly the staff doesn't know what they're doing.


simply not true. Rivals guy saw him at the UT camp and raved about him. people were thinking he would get an offer at the previous camp before this one. the youtube videos of him at UT were posted here as well after the UT camp.

I seriously hope LSU evaluated this guy outside of just one camp. You know, we could be seeing a good athlete in shorts but is shite on the football field.


The coaches personally saw him work against the OL at the camp and thought he was good enough. If people don't trust Miles on this one, they should still trust Haley. He definitely knows what it takes at this level and higher.

Les better hit on a few of these fliers he's taken the last couple of years. If he misses on all of them, the natives will get restless. If he hits on most, he'll be a genius.

Does anyone on this board live in Alabama near Selma?

If I were in that area I would go get film on this kid b/c I have no idea what to expect from him.

most of the time they are fillers, but getting some early like this could be a problem

and most people think Claiborne is a hidden gem. was Holliday a Miles recruit? his coach brought him to a camp where he ran those fast 40's in sneakers and earned the offer.

They can't at least buy a ledger and a fricking pencil? It isn't like he lives in a black hole.

This kid has no contact with the outside world, that is why he isn't in the Rivals database. They chain him down to the basement and release this man child on Friday nights. That is the only contact he has, Sloth style bitches.





Bring this man a Baby Ruth if you're fortunate enough to see him.
