Trevon Diggs is an all American corner? Could have put me out there to guard Chase and we would have had the same result.

Amik would've made our defense top tier this year. Really love watching that kid play.

Are those other two wide ours better than any of the bama guys? I have never seen the other guys play so not sure if a snub or a legit pick

Diggs has been terrible this year. Worst game vs LSU.

Amik was undersized and was a fringe offer guy that we didn't have room for until the very end (late offer in January, but too late). We all knew on the recruiting board how dynamic of a playmaker he was, but he was pretty damn small. I think someone said his real height/weight in high school was around 5'8.5" 157 lbs.

Etienne story is well-known. Depending on who you blame (Miles/Orgeron), the kid didn't come to LSU for whatever reason. He did have an offer that was extended before Clemson's offer.

Ah

Offensive line is just incredibly hard to predict. He developed well. He was a 2* kid that didn't have big time offers.

Antoine Winfield, Jr.? I feel old

Speaking of undersized DBs, Winfield Sr. is one of my favorite CFB players ever.

Amik was considered undersized and a bit of a grade risk.

The RB wanted him badly.

He was a miss.

LSU offered in mid Janurary

He decommitted from Tech for a little bit but stuck with them in the end mostly because they offered him immediate playing time

Yeah we offerred him. His offer sheet was pretty bad though. Most of his offers were G5 schools, and his rating was pathetically low.

He got caught up in the measurable game which shows you how lazy some recruiters are.

Found this thread from 2016 to show how much the RB wanted him

Short AND slow? That's the kiss of death for a defensive back. I don't care how tough he is that won't work in major college football.
