On the discussion about recruiting players...here are some tid bits from 11-15

Looked at all of the LB and D line recruits we got. I think this will tell you why we are here.

2011
Mickey Johnson DT-no longer with team
Anthony Johnson DT-left in 2013 to NFL-most consider underperformed
Trevon Randle LB-no longer with team
Jemaruia Rasco DE-most consider he underperformed
Quintin Thomas DT-injury plagued career still at LSU

2012
Kwon Alexander LB-left in 2014 to NFL
Ronnie Fiest LB-backup LB
Trey Granier LB-no longer with team
Danielle Hunter DE-left in 2014 to NFL
Deion Jones LB-starting LB
Lamar Louis LB-backup LB
Lorenzo Phillips LB-no longer with team

2013
Maquedius Bain DT-no longer with team
Kendell Beckwith LB-starting LB
Tashawn Bower DE-starting DE
Greg Gilmore DT-backup DT
Frank Herron DE-backup DT
Melvin Jones LB-no longer with team
Christian LaCouture DT-starting DT
Lewis Neal DE-starting DE
Michael Patterson DE-backup DE
Duke Riley LB-backup LB

2014
Donnie Alexander LB-backup LB
Deondre Clark DE-backup DE
Clifton Garrett LB-no longer with team
Davon Godchaux DL-starting DT
Trey Lealaimatafao DT-no longer with team
Sione Teuhema DE-backup DE
Travonte Valentine DT-no longer with team

2015
Arden Key DE-backup DE
Isaiah Washington DE-backup DE

So in my count 9 of the above are no longer with the team, for whatever reason. Johnson, Thomas, Feist, Patterson, Alexander, Clark, Teuhema have not contributed much. So that is 16 players out of 31 have not done much. Not bashing the players, but just to point out all of the misses. I don't know the Bama players like LSU, so can't compare, but I would imagine it is not as bad.

No am not bamacessed. Just food for thought on our troubles on defense.

Chavis is to blame, but so is Miles. I know you won't bat 1000, but over 50% failure is not good and can't compete in elite status.
