9 players have declared for the draft I think kdimdichie and Ruben foster see this and decide to come to the bayou and help us ALOT on defense we also need an OC now Bc our D won't be able to carry us anymore
Also, I think people are unaware of the type of online ATM had this year and the loss they are taking for next year. LSU can legitimately claim one of the best olines in the SEC if Alexander remembers what a block is..
One of the things that makes cfb so interesting is that you turn over at least 30% of your roster each year. And the better you recruit the more starters you loose each year really. And with 3rd year players being able to declare for the draft it makes recruiting a bunch of good classes imperative. I find this exciting.
Bama lost 5 guys in the first 32 picks last year on D. We are losing 7 defensive starters, and a very under-rated Lavar Edwards.
I think a bigger concern is that LSU has been well behind Alabama in recruiting for the past 4 years.
2013 LSU #6, Bama #4 (with 5 less commits, so they will surge). 2012 LSU #18, Bama #1 2011 LSU #6, Bama #1 2010 LSU #6, Bama #5 2009 LSU #2, Bama #1 2008 LSU #8, Bama #1 2007 LSU #4, Bama #11 So 2007 was the last time that we beat Bama in recruiting and we will lose to them again this year.
