I think the question becomes: which pans out most of the time a) a consensus #1 DB in the country from Florida or b) a consensus 4th ranked QB from California?
Will the QB be a starter and gamechanger from day one? Joe Burrow wasn't. UToothless QB wasn't. Leghumper QB wasnt.
Will the CB? If he is, then he takes some of the heat off of a very thin, and very young DL. It will take time (a couple of years) to develop the DL physically.
The CB visiting this weekend may do the trick too. But he's (supposedly) not committing until ESD.
Cormani was supposed to be a lock. :(
I may be wrong, but I think we’ll be getting Ricks’ last visit, just before ESD, which is great.
On CM, great player but not the same need, imo. And in terms of day 1 help, I’m still not sure a kid at 160 is ready for SEC playas a Fr. Hopefully we still get him.
To me, this flip is more of a win then had we simply landed him in the first place. I think Mario had visions for the program, including fan support, that looked promising over the summer but have not planned out. Add that to the fact that his QB play so far has been dreadful and he just sent a kid out who couldn’t even raise his throwing arm, and you may see this class implode. I’m still shocked that the Francis kid hasn’t flipped to the vols. I’d prefer he stay put for logistics, but he’d be insane to do so.
