2025 DJ Pickett 5* CB from Zephyrhills Commits to LSU

Have you seen a photo of him?

He is skinnier than Cormani. He won’t be a LB. That’s not even worth debating.

Wasn't debating just saying he has time to put weight on.

 

[P-Tizzle]

I'm pretty

Hard

Pause, OG.

Absolutely correct. Body type doesn't look like anything but a DB

Yu do realize he 1 1/2 yrs away from college! He can add weight.

1 year...

Actually about 3.5 months if early enrollee

I dont think we get either but personally I would prefer Ben Hanks. Picket has that potential to be generational due to his unique physical traits which has everyone going crazy but he is no sure thing. I like him more at safety

Hanks is a better corner right now and I dont see how he is not at least a very good college player.

This all is much more fun with Mario at the helm. We won't win all of these but we will win some and that makes the losses tolerable. In the past when we'd lose a Dalvin Cook or a Sammy Watkins or a Surtain and the existential dread that came with it was suffocating.

 

[pacusmc]

We will win with him or without him.

 

[BALLHAWKU]

I don’t see it , close thread .

 

[Warning]

When in Tampa for the Canes game. Had to come check out Pickett.

If I have learned anything the last two cycles... Don't count Mario out, EVER, dude is relentless

This^^^

Two things that I have never questioned Mario on:

1. His eye for identifying talented players with high character.

2. His ability to close on said talented players.

We also have to pump the brakes. I remember some here wanting to commit Harakiri when Cormani trolled Mario and went to waste away in Colorado. Kid has been a big time bust so far. Being a 5-Star guarantees nothing. Getting the high character 5-Star players that will do the right thing, compete and acclimate to the culture quickly is much more important.

I dont see a phenom like Jeremiah I would still take this dude though. Pause, but its not guaranteed as it was with Jeremiah that he's going to be an animal top 10 pick type. I don't see that but I could be wrong, S imo is where his money spot and full potential can be reached.

Agree. Big WR with elite ability? Those are a rare breed - you go all in for those. Pickett is a 6-5 DB with 10.4 speed - you always go after those dudes. Now, do you break the bank for a kid without a position? I am in favor of going all in for the kid but not all elite players are built alike.

That couldn't be! Just last season we had quite a few corch Brian Kelly homers saying how much better a coach he is than Mario & **** near anyone else. Lol. Can't tell them about b kells.

I can man up and say that I had my reservations about Mario, but I know for a **** fact I wasn’t snorting that CIS Brian Kelly powder lol
