If LSU pulls Divinity and Joyner next class, it will all be ok. The o and d line recruiting blew away my expectations from a month ago.

Very excited about the offensive and secondary haul, not so excited about the lack of players in the front seven

Next year the state is loaded, that had to have something to do with it

I'm very happy with the overall talent. However, the holes in this class will cause us problems down the line. If you write each position group in one column, and the nmber of signees in the next, they should be roughly equal. A great program will recruit that way. LSU rarely recruts that way. We usually have some big gaps. This year was one of the worst examples, with zero LBs or DTs.

Pick a random consistent program, that starts with "A", and do the same exercise. It will match, almost exactly, every friggin year. That's the gap we need to close. That's what will change us from an every four years cycle to an every year cycle.

We're getting as much talent as anyone else. The NFL rosters prove that. We just need to smooth it out.

It's a good class, but we needed DT and LB recruits

Seems like it's been very quiet or maybe I just wasn't paying that close of attention

Who's our most hyped recruit?

And did we get any QB's?

This is the rant.

"No.

Sorry...lol"

"No LB's! Seriously??? We need Chavis."

"not so excited about the lack of players in the front seven"

"However, the holes in this class will cause us problems down the line"

"It's a good class, but we needed DT and LB recruits"

"Glaring holes in this class overall."

There is always a dark cloud. Pretty normal for the rant misery index.

We did do well.

Obviously there's concern at LB. Two LB's in two years is living on the edge. In '16, if not mistaken, we'll have Riley, Alexander, Garrett, possibly Beckwith (if he stays), and whatever newcomers out there.

If Beckwith stays, if Feist would RS next yr, and if we get a good crop of SEC ready LB's - no worries.

i'm happy for the most part, esp with the OL and the skill players. who wouldn't be?

it does disappoint me, any year, that we have positions that we don't sign anyone. this year, as noted, it was LB's and interior DL. I just think with 25 signees it is better to sign someone in every position every year.

It was a good haul. We'll sign 4 LBs next year no big deal. I trust the staff knows more than the average poster.

edit: ^yeah if your not familiar with 247 then you should just not comment your thoughts on recruiting

I am happy this is a very talented class. Coach Miles and his staff always do a great job recruiting. Geaux Tigers

Relatively happy, but in addition to the linebacker issue, there should have been another quality QB. Tenn. brought in three. I don't care about next year, anything could happen with those prospects. We need depth and competition at that spot. desperately. Cameron did not get it done.
