Expect him to commit to South Carolina alongside five-star CB Joshua Dobson. (they are high school teammates, Dobson was crystal balled to South Carolina earlier today)

Dobson doesn’t seem the type to care about that.

I highly doubt any validity to that statement. We just happen to pull a db from a state we rarely get recruits from, who is a teammate of a high target, and it isn’t significant?

I think it’s silly to compare recruiting tactics of a brand new staff to coaching staff from the past.

Maybe they just came across him when they were looking into the high profile recruit

Agree because of so much change in recruiting. I think we have the right staff at the right time and their philosophy in recruiting

Ruffino and Nagy were talking about Jones and said there was a lot of film where Jones bailed out Dobson. He may not be the pure athlete that Dobson is plus Dobson is a CB, but apparently Jones is one the coaches think is better than his ranking and he's certainly not low as the #9 composite safety.

95% means he’s already committed

Wonder what happened there.

He looked legit. And Lsu needs to pick up a couple safeties.

Heavily trending to South Carolina this AM. Doubt we cross the finish line in first for this one.

1. Money
2. Proximity

This will end up being an LSU portal target when Shane Beamer is fired after this year…doesn’t hurt to finish 2nd as much as it used to pre-TP era.

The NIL changes things quickly. I don't think he is worried about championships.

We'll get a better safety out of the portal. I prefer bigger safeties anyway..

We went from expecting 2 safety commitments to potentially zero.

USCe must be dropping some serious cash for Jones and Dobson
