LSU has missed on a lot of big recruits in the last few years at key positions. When you couple that with NFL attrition, you have a recipe for disaster.

One of the other inflaming issues is that we have missed on recruits that have ended up at competing schools. You not only loss their potential contribution - you have to face them as well.

I hate to even say it, but LSU has the feel of the late 1990-early 2000s UTenn. They were still recruiting at a high level but NFL attrition and competitors upping their game eventually took its toll.

I hope I am wrong about that though.

He's had plenty of time with them. However, maybe they need more. I remember an interview Moffitt did with 104.5 last year (maybe this Spring even) where he said they "were not fit enough to play a single series in the SEC."

What an idiotic post. Our freshman class is the best recruiting class in LSU history.

This is 100% wrong with regards to the DL, or any position we aren't seeing great production from really. Our rivals have taken DBs, WRs, and one stud LT. None of those are glaring deficiencies on this team, with only LT looking to be an issue next year. We've signed the guys we wanted, they just haven't lived up to the hype. It happens to everyone, our let downs are just all occurring at one position group. The truly elite DT prospects just haven't been there the last couple years, 2016 will be a banner year.

1998: Won BCS.
2001: A game away from playing for the BCS Title, that game was of course against LSU in the SEC Championship.

Late 90s early 2000s decline right there...

Do the people that say "I hope I'm wrong" when saying something negative about the team actually hope that they are wrong? I see it pretty often and have to wonder.
