re: We usually have a couple of the top 10 CBs leaning...

Tough crowd.

I agree, it’s strange not being the lead for a 5*/ top 50 CBs.

But, there’s good reason. 4 of our 5 best CBs are here for at least 2 more years. So any CB we sign this year probably won’t see the field for 2 years.

#1- D Stingley - Soph, Beast Monster

#3- C Flott - Soph, universally accepted
that he exceeded expectation in 2019. Will start at CB2 or Nickel.

#4- J Ward - Soph, good experience last year, played well. Will get much more PT this year.

#5 Ricks - 5* Freshman, will have to compete well to even see the field this year in front of the others above. And, when he does, in 2022 maybe, it’s his spot for 2 more years.

Plus there are at least 2 more Freshmen with potential.

That puts a Freshman in this year’s class at 6th in rotation this year, at best, and probably for 2 years because our young guys are that good.

The coaches know it and the recruits know it. LSU Defensive backfield is set for 2 years.

(You got all the replies though, because this all would be known, right? But it is an anomaly since we usually aren’t this deep and so young at the same time.)

All of LSU’s CBs are underclassmen. There are other needs the team has to address this cycle (OL, DL, and Safeties).

We have only 6 CB on the roster. Depending on the lineup we play as many as 3 of these guys at a time. What the heck happens if we have a couple injuries? Do you really think 6 CBs are enough?

I didn't say LSU wasn't going to get a CB this cycle; I said CB is not a priority. All you need is 6-8 quality scholarship CBs on the roster, LSU currently has 7 if you include KVJ.

Anything more than that other teams will start to negative recruit the CB depth.

LSU will sign a cb or 2. Might not get the superstar or maybe we get the one. Sage Ryan is being looked at as a cb by our staff supposedly.

Well Mr “I have a subscription to 247, heres 2 quotes from their director of football recruiting, Steve Wiltfong from less than a week ago saying otherwise. quote: "It depends on who you talk to," he added. "I talk to some people who say Alabama and Nick Saban are not going to let him get away. Then I talk to other people who say keep an eye on LSU, and they may lead this thing for McKinstry. quote: "I think LSU has put themselves in a really strong position here with what they have done in developing players at the position and the relationship they have with the staff,"

Sounds good baw but I would literally feel confident enough to bet my house and sleep like a baby til singing day that we don’t land him.

This post is good, add that to the fact that the coaches feel Raydar Jones is more talented than both Flott and Ward, then you get where we’re really stacked for a while.

You should be happy about this. LSU will get Sage Ryan that's an elite DB right there. That said, they're not pressing for CBs because it's not a need. It also tells you they're not pressing for any major CBs not because none want to come here...because we're not recruiting any hard. That tells you that LSU is very comfortable with all their young DBs and don't expect any to attrition right now. That's a good sign they're developing into what we thought they'd be.

Why in the hell would anyone question probably the best university this past decade in recruiting DBs? Why in the hell would anyone question Raymond's evaluations?

Thanks man

Raydar Jones

He’s my dark horse. I actually think it will be:

CB1- Stingley
CB2 - Radar
Nickel - Flott
FS - Vincent Jr.

That would give us so much depth (and make it impossible for a ‘21 Freshman to even think about the field) for 2 years. If that works out and we sign the top CB next year, it would be phenomenal.

5* Derek Stingley
5* Elias Ricks
5* Khamauri Rogers committed next year

Sage Ryan is a Top5 CB on rivals & #1 Safety on 247. This 100% invalidates the OP
