Sage Ryan.....Tommy Casanova

Wouldn't that be exciting!

Pretty big shoes to fill

Talk about unrestrained hyperbole!!

Jamal Adams is a better comparison

Problem is, guys like him will leave early if they find success here.
And it'll keep them from entering certain company

Yep and the new trend is if you are out of the title hunt at some point your junior year those type of players, if indeed Sage is, are going to start shutting it down early at a much higher clip.

What a great comparison! The instant I read it I thought how apt it is. I truly believe Derrick Davis will make the bigger impact at safety next season and in the succeeding ones, but Sage Ryan’s impact will be all over the field, as a special teamer and nickle back. I think we signed a great pair of DBs.

It's a big stretch to compare him with Casanova, but I hope he's close to that good. He was more highly recruited, but recruiting has changed enormously over the years

Tommy wasn't highly recruited. Tulane was his biggest offer until LSU offered him late. He was still leaning toward Tulane until Pat Screen convinced Tommy that his long-term future in Louisiana would be better if he went to LSU.

A male named Sage?

Absolutely. And thats what keeps them from greatness. Hanging tough and rebuilding and winning is what makes people great
