    Re: Drayton Calhoun commits to LSU

    Great news. Anyone know of who else we can expect to enroll early? And how does that work with their scholarships? Since they are enrolling before the date they can legally sign LOI's, are they eligible to go on scholarship immediately, or are they on their own financially until the fall semester?

    Great article on the subject. I read this a while back and was lucky enough to be able to find it after reading this thread.

    That is a good article. It sounds like his 40 yard time is legit.. his laser time is right where it should be compared to his hand timed..

    I'm more interested in his 'football speed' which is clearly the real deal viewing his film. And his shuttle time.

    Re: Drayton Calhoun commits to LSU

    How about we get him into the slot position?

    How the hell do we mix in Calhoun, Shepard and Holliday into the offense? I think all of these early enrollees will end up playing their true freshman season.

    Good luck Gary Crowton, that's your problem.

    Someone care to compar Calhoun to Debose? Are the similar? Would they be used in the same way?

    Well he played RB in high school.

    But at 6' 173 lbs, he won't be seeing any PT at the true RB spot.

    He will be used as a Trindon Holliday type at the very minimum. I just hope he can develop into a true slot receiver who is on the field more times than not.

    But all of that is predicated on the fact he doesn't end up playing CB.

    Re: Drayton Calhoun commits to LSU

    Not sure where he is going to play but he says the coaching staff is starting him off on offense because he wanted a shot to prove himself.

    Would love to see him on D as well and that is where I predict he will spend most of his career at LSU. However, if he lights it up on offense all bets are off.
