I agree completely and I'm sorry if I took it too far. It just annoys me when people share info that they pay for to try and be helpful and clear things up for people that obviously like following recruiting as close as me, and those people refuse to listen.

LOL, so people on the recruiting board haven't been chatting it up so it came out of nowhere?


That was kind of my point...

We have been recruiting several big name corners for a while now (Lynn, Winston, Branden Smith) so that tells you they PLANNED on having another corner in this class.


No shite, several "cant pass" guys. Different situation. Just like we don't need 3 WRs in this class, but we're not going to pass on Randle or Debose if they both want to come to LSU.

Claiborne came to camp, made a statement, and put himself on the board for that corner spot. He was going to be watched his sr. year to see how he looked in live action, and if we struck out on the big name guys, and he proved he was worthy of the spot, the offer was coming.



My question is this, why is CB a position of need all off a sudden with our current roster? Would you take him over Jones/Bostic or any of the guys I previously mentioned

What happened in the first 6 pages? I didn't read it all...

FWIW, we were not in on any big time national recruits at CB. This commit does not effect any other positions.

Just relax, no video is available yet but both Sonny and Mike have said he is legit. I'll take their word on it for now.

I'm not ..Thunderbird is a regular poster that has questions as do most of us. We come here to get answers. I have money to pay for any site i choose ..Just not the time to spend on many sites..This one is the one i choose. If you are happy getting information a day ahead of people here great, no need to rag the guy because you may or may not know more than him a day faster. Its all good, we just want to know about our beloved team and the recruits that are signing.

With all the big names we are waiting for most people including myself are a little baffled when 2 recruits sign we know nothing about..I just want to know more about Claiborne from people here that know about him. I'm not "in the know". Thats why i come here, to hear from people that are. Sounds like a good kid with a good future at LSU. CM loves LSU and thats why many here are wanting him including myself..Its hard to see talent passed on when they want to play here really bad. Thx for the info on MC..I hope he helps LSU win its next MNC.

Let's put it this way, I get the PERTINENT info on here. Like I said, I've had subscriptions before. After coming to this board I quickly found they were mostly useless.

It's not all of a sudden a position of need.

The fact that they continued recruiting multiple guys at corner tells you they knew they wanted another corner in this class the whole time.

Claiborne might be the only actual corner in this class if JJ is brought in as a safety or nickel.

I also know that you are adamant that CM is the best thing since sliced bread, and all of the recruiting gurus are saying that he is not a possibility in this class because Ford is just as good/ better.

Sounds good. Also, Hicks appears to be a beast that will step in and play early and often like Byrd. Just don't just to conclusions on MC because of the number of stars. Sonny has been pimping him since camp as a real possibility

This doesn't make any sense. Why is this different than the CM situation? We're still recruiting TR, but if we don't get him we're not going to sign CM according to the "insiders"

We were recruiting some top CBs, had not offered this kid. Looks like the coaches found out we're not getting any and now we offered him? Why wouldn't we offer Christine Michael if we don't get TR? I don't see why CB (with Janzen coming in - who looks like a corner to me) is a position of "need" any more-so than RB.

number of stars
I trust that coaches here saw something they liked. Many kids every year go under the radar i'm sure..Lets hope Claiborne turns out to be a superstar here.

we signed 3 more than expected last year too

If we are at 20 right now, that leaves 1-3 spots according to what you are saying.

Who in the heck is going to be..?

The AA game is when the fireworks take off in recruiting...

I hope we finish strong

Maybe that low number is including benton?

Would benton be included in our star rating this year?
