re: I get the sense that LSU is about to be back on top

I agree, but the sooner we get a long line in QBs and LBs the sooner we will be that type of good.

Recruiting wise,

the Purdue QB - whatever your opinion - adds quality depth. He was an Elite 11 guy and that means something because not everyone is. He has talent and he will be here to grow as well over the next few years. The more depth there the better. Having a QB start as a JR or SR is much better than having a FR start - simple.

LB (especially Mike) - got to know we are telling high profile guys that our Mike spot is pretty wide open and we need guys. Add in early playing time and being the middle anchor of the D. This has got to make some of the top talent very interesting in coming to LSU. I can't wait to see what ILBs we bring in.
