2025 DJ Pickett 5* CB from Zephyrhills Commits to LSU

[Dwinstitles]

Lyle was ranked as #2 RB on one site

Im just saying never listen to these recruits. They cap on reasons not to come to mislead fans to argue amongst themselves as to why the recruit chose elsewhere. It’s all for cameras

 

[Memnon]

Hasn’t Raymond been a bad CB coach his last few stops? He can still recruit, but the other side matters.

Pops is sounding just like Earl Little Sr. Oh well.

 

[Elmer Leghorn]

I don't see him flippin unless we pay significantly more than LSU. Money is, more often than not, undefeated

 

[BALLHAWKU]

Here's the thing though which is crazy to say but Corey Raymond is not good anymore and LSU secondary has shown it for some years now so if this is to get recruits fine just be clear of his on field results

Well o also notice they don’t get to the qb like in the past . A db can’t cover all day , that’s my issue with our dcord . We play man almost every time without bringing people at the qb enough .Fsu example , we should have been blitzing that one read qb a lot more

Hopefully Miami does a better job in the portal for a CB. Very tough position to find in the portal and it will cost a lot but hopefully they have been back channeling for awhile already.

i think this year has a much better qb and db class than 26, wr is probably slightly better. Oline and dline i think 26 is better. Only time will tell tho

It’s gonna be interesting to see next years team. There will be no Cam Ward saving the day and the schedule is tougher. So recruiting and portal will be key. For now I’m enjoying this run. I trust this staff to recruit.

I wouldn't say bad.but very average is fair. Just like t-rob. Hence why cis wants Mario to hire him. Apparently we should have a DB room staff made up of t-rob,Raymond,DVD & the bartender. We'd have a room full of 5 star flops.

Is the current product better?

Been saying this for a long time. Pickett will be a hard pull because of Raymond. Surprisingly Hanks looks more promising. But these are really really difficult recruitments because of relationships.

Regardless of outcomes here, we need to hit the portal aggressively. I like our DB class a lot. But we need multiple more proven guys in that room.

Was Raymond there as a bookend for him? Freshman and Senior? I'm guessing he recruited him.

 

[Derrick Griffin]

I see this and question out loud, “ Has Denver Harris righted the ship?” If so, that’s the CB I want in the portal.

He was a FCS transfer from Southeastern Louisiana ST.

They got him last season.

cis told me options are limited in the portal.

How’s Big Earl doing these days?

Made his twitter private so TrumpyCane thinks not well

Did you tell CIS to go after Zy Alexander?

Did you tell CIS to go after Zy Alexander?

I told cis that Jaden Davis, Terry Roberts and Tecory Couch were terrible.

Have you told CIS about any alternative options that would be good?

I understand how a coach that was good at recruiting might not be later (not relating to kids anymore, not up for the grind of recruiting any longer, etc), but curious how a DB coach becomes bad/average in coaching if they were good before? Not questioning that are average now, but are techniques changing and they aren't keeping up? Is there film study that they should be doing of opponents that they aren't?

Note that I ask this as someone who never played organized football so forgive me if it is obvious to those that have.

No and Raymond certainly wouldn’t develop players at a lesser level than what we’ve had and he’d recruit better.
