It's easy to say all 3 of the "Seminole Trio" will sign with Florida schools. Just like #1 CB in the nation Patrick Peterson did, along with Ryan Baker, Karnell Hatcher & Greg Shaw. I know most here take the "I don't like package deals" opinion. But one thing is certain, these recruits will play for some team or teams, package deal or not. So why not LSU? Seriously, look at it a bit closer. Andre Debose - WR, Dyron Dye - DE, Ray Ray Armstrong - LB'er/ATL. LSU has a serious need at every one of these spots. Also, Russell Shepard seems to get along really well with Debose. That's just what I've heard, but might be an important factor. The Trio to LSU just seems to make too much sense. Tiger Trio maybe? All 3 have been to Baton Rouge..3 times. Maybe we won't take any of them, or maybe we take 1 or 2. But, I 'd love to get all 3 of them. Then land for example: S-Craig Loston, LB'er Jarvis Jones, FB Dominique Allen & another DE/DT to be named later. Aside from filling a DL spot, and maybe a few others. I read recently that Miles said, referring to the 85 Scholarship limit, that if a top recruit wants to come to LSU, he's gonna make the numbers work. I believe him. Any thoughts? Am I off by a country mile?
Debose has been considered the most likely to leave the state of Florida throughout the recruiting process and I do think he lands at LSU. As for Dye, I thought he would stay in Florida until he recently said UF is backing off of him because of numbers. I think LSU is in the lead for his services if that is the case. Maybe he is trying to get the UF staff's attention but I doubt he has to do that when he is the 6th ranked DE in the country. Ray Ray will likely stay in Florida IMO but we could use a S/LB and getting one of the 2 or both of the others would give him something to think about.
DeBose has been the one we've had the best shot with all along, and that still looks to be the case. The other 2 so rarely give anything away in interviews that it's very tough to get a read on them. I'd say we have a slight chance with Dye, but no real chance with Ray Ray.
Baker probably would've gone to Florida State if they had jumped on him early, but by the time they shot him an offer he was committed for a while and didn't want to make the switch. I think we've got a good shot with DeBose, and I'm starting to get a feeling that we may be in better shape with Dye than I though (I still think Miami will land him but if Florida is backing off we may have a chance) Ray Ray is going to stay in-state.
