When the Gators announced the hiring of Corey Raymond as their cornerbacks coach in early December, it sent shockwaves throughout the entire SEC.
Raymond had enjoyed tremendous success in his 10 years coaching at LSU, his alma mater. He worked with 14 players who were selected in the NFL Draft, including household names Tyrann Mathieu, Jamal Adams, Greedy Williams, Derek Stingley and Kristian Fulton. Obviously, with a list of former players like that, Raymond has to at least be in the discussion for best recruiter in the country.
With all of that success, other schools almost certainly tried to throw a ton of money at him to get him away from the Bayou over the years.
