I actually thought it was more than this but I think it's 4
OC - Lewis DE - Obioha MLB - Stewart CB - Everett
And lots of people missed on Obioha. Looks the part and it wasn't like he played in the middle of nowhere so I'm not sure how that happened. Rivals had him as a lowish 3 star and we only had 1 recruit in the last class ranked lower. I also think it's a case of the big recruiting sites underrating LA players
btw, no chance no how Pat Lewis is a 1st round pick. Love the guy for his grit and smarts but he'll go late for the same reasons LSU passed (height)

The only LA guy from the A&M roster that I wish we would have offered is Floyd Raven because we are hurting in the CB department right now with Mathieu off the team. We are hurting at CB and OT.

Raven doesn't even play for us but Deshazor Everett from the same class is our best corner and is the guy that made the pick at the end of the Bama game. I think he'd be the one you want.

I didn't realize he's from LA. LSU has one junior CB in Tharold Simon and the rest are all freshmen. Talent cannot fully replace experience. Both the Jalen's have potential to be all-SEC CB's and get picked early in the NFL draft when their time comes but they still make freshmen mistakes because they are freshmen. I'm not even going to begin talking about the depth at OT behind Alexander(true frosh) and Dworacyk(offensive guard).

this; at least 4. this position is really 5 positions and there is a ton of attrition and a ton of injuries at these positions. plus, skills necessary to be great take awhile to teach and learn and the athlete often has to bulk up a lot.
