Heard Miles talk about him as well as others. He was a late addition to the class, but I had know clue how good he was coming out of hs. Apparently, the coaches are expecting big things because anytime the talk about someone unknown they blow up like Brockers, Mingo, and Mathieu before they became AA.

Very important to have gotten another safety prospect in that class. Thompson was a big big pickup.

I think he'll play special teams this year then provide HUGE competition next year if Eric Reid departs.

very underrated on the recruiting websites but is 6'2" 205 with a 38 in vertical...freak athlete with really good football smarts and instincts from what i could tell from his film (im no expert but it jumps out at you for sure)

Wow!!!! Was he a 5* or high 4*? Maybe Collins committing elsewhere turns out to be a blessing in disguise.

I'm hearing LSU could lose as many or more than 7 juniors to draft.
I'm thinking:
Mathieu
Mingo
Logan
Simon
Reid
Faulk
Montgomery
One or two backs

I believe he was a 4*...5 seems a bit high

I hope it was a blessing in disguise...I wish we could have landed LC and I wish him the best at bama (except when we meet) but I will never forget how bad he made us look on national TV...stringing us along when his mind was already made up..TigerBait!

Hate to say it, but if we have a huge junior exodus including Mettenberger. We're going to struggle in 2013...this is the year to get shite done.
