    We see kids who are solid all the way through until close to signing day then flip to the closer school due to family pressure. I wouldn't doubt him flipping or he may just go through with it. We shall see.

    Exactly...Not saying he is a sure thing by any means. But I along with others thought it was odd he said that right after the visit. That wasn't close to what him and his family were saying while visiting. I try not to go by what a kid says to the media especially around this time of year.

    If I had to pick betweeen Giles and Sci on the probablity of being in this class I would go Sci. If no Sci I think it is possible we wouldn't even take Giles.

    Wow, Giles not a take, that would be surprising. As average and thin as our DL has been I'd think we would be on him hard.

    I agree. Can't see us passing on Giles. That's like turning down Christmas in February.

    LSU may finish with 7 defensive backs with the following national ranks among all players:

    29
    34
    47
    53
    55
    226
    291

    CB national rankings:
    2
    5
    6
    9
    20

    Safety national rankings:
    3
    12

    It would be the best defensive back haul in recruiting history on paper.

    If LSU does somehow finish with Carter, Mullen and Fulton, they would eclipse the magical 300 mark on 247sports composite rankings (somewhat of a rarity, 13 times in the past 14 seasons).

    301.43

    Would be extremely difficult for anyone else to surpass LSU.

    And who is DBU again?

    Could we see a defensive back unit as good as the 2011 unit? Which is crazy to think about, because Peterson left after the 2010 season. Tyrann Mathieu, Eric Reid, Morris Claiborne, Brandon Taylor, Ron Brooks, Tharold Simon, Craig Loston, and Ronald Martin and Jalen Collins were on the team. Man that's sick.

    I think that means they are praying hard.

    Never say never man. Just think if we pull all these dudes we already have Tre White, Jamal Adams, Donte Jackson, and Kevin Tolliver. The X factor is we have no Badger though. That's where the problem is, but then again no one does. Guys like him just don't grow on trees.
