![]() For a Sophmore, he has been a starting CB in the SEC vs heavyweights.. What else do you want? Next year is telling, though

![]() On the flip side here are the the 2-star players using Rivals ratings since 2002. Lets hear your thoughts.
Many did not contribute but there are a few diamonds in the rough - Ko Simpson, Captain Munnerlyn, Patrick DiMarco, Justice Cunningham. One thing to note is the sheer number of 2-stars in Lou's last class. Writing was on the wall that he was on the way out. 2002: Kris Clark - 2 star Bennett Swygert - 2 star 2003: William Brown - 2 star Stanley Doughty - 2 star Josh Johnson - 2 star David Laggis - 2 star Robert Pavlovic - 2 star 2004: John Paul Gillis - 2 star Chris Hampton - 2 star Tremel Kline - 2 star Antonio Lamar - 2 star Dusty Lindsey - 2 star Jordin Lindsey - 2 star Jamon Meredith - 2 star Alonzo Middleton - 2 star Grayson Mullins - 2 star Brandon Samuels - 2 star Ko Simpson - 2 star Evan Spanogians - 2 star Gurminder Thind - 2 star Trent Usher - 2 star Stoney Woodson - 2 star 2005: Yvan Banag - 2 star Tommy Beecher - 2 star Mychal Belcher - 2 star Brent Davis - 2 star Cade Thompson - 2 star Jeremy Ware - 2 star 2006: Pierre Andrews - 2 star Ryan Broadhead - 2 star Chris Hail - 2 star Captain Munnerlyn - 2 star 2007: Patrick DiMarco - 2 star Byron McKnight - 2 star Arkee Smith - 2 star 2008: Ryan Doerr - 2 star Mike Triglia - 2 star 2009: DeMario Bennett - 2 star Justice Cunningham - 2 star Charles Holmes - 2 star Kevious Watkins - 2 star 2010: Javon Bell - 2 star Patrick Fish - 2 star Byron Jerideau - 2 star Corey Simmons - 2 star J.T. Surratt - 2 star Dylan Thompson - 2 star 2011: None 2012: Nick St. Germain - 2 star Mason Zandi - 2 star |

![]() I would like to comment on a few of these players. Some of these kids had a lot of potential to be great players and just did not have the mental or work ethic it took to be the "best that they could be". A few of these players had to play on teams that were not that good. A good case in point was Blake Mitchell. I believe if Blake Mitchell were playing today with the talent on this team, he would "light up the scoreboard for us". Sad, that he had to sit a couple of years under Lou and then play for SOS and he never had a good O-Line to protect him. The same can be said for Syvelle Newton, who was a great player too. Kenrick Ellis could have been a huge success here if he could have been more mature about certain things. Cliff Matthews was a very good ballplayer and I wished that he would have had more help on the D-Line at times and maybe he would have played at a higher level. He still was a very good player. Cliffton Geathers, I always thought that he was a huge waste of talent and could have been "All World" if he had tried harder. C. C. Whitlock, I never thought that he was a great player. A fill in player at best. Phillip Dukes, I don't know about this young man. Hopefully, he will pick his game up and become the player everyone thought that he would be. He came in highly recruited and has just not lived up to expectations even though he still has time to show us if he can play at this level. |

![]() Culliver's college career was really underrated because of a few blown plays and one horrible game. For the most part he was really, really good though.

Thanks for catching that. I was thinking of someone one else with Chisolm and forgot that Coffee had the injuries. Hard to accurately remember everyone!
