We're obviously replacing a ton, but my goodness at the talent that's potentially replacing these guys.

I'm talking (Rivals ratings)...

1 Top 250 DE starting (Montgomery or Aghayere)
2 Top 100 DT starting (Nevis, Davenport)
2 Top 100 LB starting (Baker, Francois)
1 Top 100 and 1 Top 250 CB starting (Peterson, Eugene)
2 Top 100 S starting (Taylor, Loston)

7 Top 100 starters and 2 Top 250 starters

Ball's in your court, Mr. Chavis

Here comes the negatigers to talk about how it doesn't matter because our coaches won't develop them

How different is that with the players leaving?
Were they all not Top 100/250 coming out of high school?


Peterson and Sheppard will still be the best defensive players LSU has. Ya'll lost a lot this past season and will be asking a lot just like us from the young players. Big shoes to fill trying to replace 2 and 3 year starters at any position.

Aghayere hasn't shown much in the chances he's been given. Eugene has been alright. Taylor and Nevis were pretty good. Baker was a beast in his limited playing time. Peterson... I don't think I even need to say anything with him. The others haven't played a down or have done so little for varying reasons as not to be able to be judged right now (Francois).

Strict recruiting rankings aren't the best evaluator to prove the point. Just remember - most of the talent leaving LSU now was in this position prior to a disastrous 2008 defensive campaign.

I do agree with your conclusion (that it's on Chavis), but the evidence is suspect.
