PIckett has several ties to the Hurricanes. He's a Sunshine State native with a cousin currently on the roster in Coral Gables.
This fall, Pickett has been on campus several times to check in with Miami, but it hasn't wavered his commitment to the Bayou Bengals.
Despite remaining active on the recruiting scene, Pickett continues vocalizing his pledge to Kelly and Co.
On Sunday, he once again provided insight on where his recruitment stands with the purple and gold after posting via social media a countdown until he enrolls at LSU.
Pickett plans to put pen to paper in December during the Early Signing Period before enrolling early and taking his talents to Baton Rouge.
We've seen outside chatter surrounding his recruitment over the last few months with the Hurricanes "gaining traction" on the trail, but Pickett continues doubling down on where he stands.
The five-star prospect wants to play for LSU secondary coach Corey Raymond. He's been adamant about that during his process and hasn't given an indication that has changed.
“I wish [Oregon and Miami] the best, but I’m at LSU now,” Pickett said after announcing his decision in July. “If you are a DB, and Coach Raymond is at LSU, I feel that’s the right place to be at. That tells you everything right there.”
"Just the Corey Raymond factor. And it’s Defensive Back U. DBU. That’s a big factor for LSU.," Pickett's father told On3Sports. "The fact they have developed so many DBs. Coach Raymond developed so many DBs at the school. The recruiting is in the pudding. There are so many greats that played at LSU. I’d say history as far as LSU.”
