I know we made a D-line haul last year but...

I'm concerned that we don't really have any studs that are favoring LSU especially when it comes to DT. Seriously, are we a top 2 or 3 for any highly rated guys?

Many think that Gerald Willis may be a future DT.

DT is the one position we're waiting out a bit and is causing some concern and questions from everyone. We don't really have many offers out at the position and we're waiting on a couple of instate kids to see development either with weight or grades.
Willis, Godchaux and McDowell are all kids that could end up as DTs with Willis the only offer at this point. Then we're waiting to see a couple of other instate kids this spring and summer to see if they are worthy of an offer. OOS, the Valentine kid is one we like plus a couple others but none really have us as the favorite or anything. Pretty much a waiting game at this point that will clear up as the spring and summer come.
I personally think the staff is waiting a little on the freshmen to come in to see who exactly fits where. Lacouture is already at DT, Gilmore and Bain are coming and quite a few believe that Herron's future may be at DT. Could be a case of evaluating the position on the team along with evaluating the hs kids to make sure the numbers are right and that the right guys are pursued.

Godchaux is a future DT in a Chavis defense.

We'll most likely take one of our DE targets and move him inside.

Bain, Gilmore, Lacouture, Lawson!!!
Thats a pretty sick DT haul. We are looking great at DT IMO

Eh? Am I missing something here?
Posted on 3/29/13 at 9:03 am to geauxGreeks
Gonna see how long it takes that poster to realize Lawson isn't a LSU signee
Posted on 3/29/13 at 9:14 am to memphstigers23
Not to change the topic, but your list looks spot on with Dupre, Brumfield, Speedy and others. My list would have Willis in there as well.
Posted on 3/29/13 at 9:26 am to geauxGreeks
I thought I put him in there 
Posted on 3/29/13 at 9:39 am to mpwilging
I didn't realize how big LaCoutre is. Kid has some moves for his size.

YeaH but he wants to be an end and he will go where he can be one. He mentioned in a recent interveiw about all the DE's we took last year concern him with regard to early playing time at LSU. He feels he can start at aTm as a freshman...

Any team can tell him whatever they want and still move him inside.
ETA: and any team may let him start at DE, but if he fits better at DT later, they could move him. The pros don't give a frick where he wants to play. Ask Eric Crouch.

a) couple of those guys will move inside b) LSU has shown they will play freshman if they are good enough regardless.
