Lacoutre is an EE, I believe. He, Herron, Neal (in certain situations) might get in the rotation as Freshmen. I can't see any of the DTs getting in as freshmen, but maybe.

Allen was ready to contribute this season. Assuming he comes back at full strength, I expect big things from him. He is a mean SOB.

Rasco got better as the season went along. Sometimes he looked lost, but the talent is there. I think that now that he knows it is his time, we will get to see what all the fuss was about in N. Louisiana.

Hunter has drawn rave revues from the coaches, and has tons of potential. I am looking forward to watching him develop. He is a big ole boy.

Hate to say it, but if any of the true freshmen play, it probably means Maclin has been passed up.

As I said, I think another year of experience and weight training will make Ego and Freak better. I am predicted big things from them both, and that is where a good D starts.

Mickey Johnson: strong as an ox. He will be good against the run, but, as you say, not too sure what we get against the pass. I think he will provide quality depth, despite some not so glowing reports about his progress.

Quentin Thomas: too me, the guy is a total wildcard. Didn't play his senior year, and redshirted. I don't know what to expect.

I think line will be better, especially against the run. What we give up in speed (Mingo in particular), we gain in size. I know a lot of folks are down from the loss to Clemson (I was there, it sucked), but no one should sleep on the Tiger D next year.
