The 5-star cornerback has been feeling the push from not only the LSU staff, but fellow All-American Kardell Thomas. Another Baton Rouge product, Thomas has assumed the role of lead recruiter for Orgeron in the 2019 class and has zeroed in on Stingley as his top target.

“Kardell has been trying to get me to commit almost every day,” Stingley laughed. “Every time we talk, he’s like: ‘Just commit.’ I’d expect that, though. He’s trying to keep this class in The Boot.”


quote:

Stingley visited for elite junior day in January and returned a week ago to take in the team’s fourth-quarter workouts.

While the 5-star cornerback has seen just about every aspect of the football program over the years, this unofficial visit took him by surprise.

“I had never seen the fourth-quarter workout before,” Stingley said. “I liked seeing the energy while everyone was working out. They weren’t sluggish. Everybody was yelling, screaming, having fun out there. They made it fun to work out, so you know, if I work out like that, I can have fun with it, you know?”

I really feel like the large majority of the states top guys are staying this year.

I agree, I really have a good feeling about this class. It will definitely define O's time at LSU for better or for worse

He would pretty much be starter from day 1, because we don't have anyone else. Greedy is likely gone after this year, and no news on Fulton. Didn't Charlie and Ott say he was decked out in all Florida gear the other day?

If all goes well LSU could have a class like UGA racked up this year. However, recent history tells me we'll be severely disappointed next February.

Yeah, looks like Orgeron tried to soften the backlash on himself by getting a premature commit from Stingley.

Can't fault him for trying.

Read between the lines here:

Thomas telling him to

‘Just commit.’

Probably means that Stingley has indicated that LSU leads right now

I love the way big Poppa has been on them, I'm sure he's riding his boy Ty Davis even harder being that they're teammates with him talking about Alabama and shite. Big Poppa will be like GTFOH with that Bama shite.

Just throwing out there that Chester Kimbrough's (2019 DB, Warren Easton) offer list has been kind of blowing up.

Only throwing this in the mix because he is a LA DB.

Out of state programs can do this without any backlash. LSU has to be selective in who they offer in state to avoid burning bridges. Plus, we are after several top rated guys at his position across the state and country. I’ll be very surprised if Stingley doesn’t end up in BR.

No to highjack this thread, but given the critical need at CB, why haven't we offered Kimbrough?

This recruiting season Coach O"s wife will be a lonely woman as her hubby is groveling and begging like a child to save his arse at LSU for all these targets.

I'd say for the exact reason GeauxLSU4 said, which was:

We've seen this many times before. Under Miles and Orgeron. We try not to do what we did to Goodrich or have to resort to a greyshirt to ANY in-state player. For obvious reasons. And the early signing period does complicate that even more.

Kardell on film is a fricking monster and apparently he's freakishly strong in the gym.

But goddamn that boy looks like he's got some flabby titties

YEA and a guy on 247 said he was at his restaurant in Florida gear saying Florida is the real DBU.
