re: Is this the worst way a recruit can announce LSU has offered him?

Guys like this kid, Vernon Broughton, a couple of the GA and NC kids, with natural SDE size and athleticism to go with it are the types id like to see us land as DEs. I get the natural DTs fit the system as well but many times those body types lack some of the natural bend, athleticism and explosion that the DE body types have.

I know most are tired of the Bama standard being used but it applies in this instance. 4-5 years ago they went through a fundamental change in the body types they honed in on as DEs to bring more athleticism and playmaking to their 4 man rush. Guys like Jonathan Allen, Buggs, and Labryan Ray and the 19 class Egiboie and Alfano. I get that the Saban and Aranda schemes have differences and perhaps Aranda prefers the natural DT types. Watching our lack of pressure from the DL just irritates me and imo its because our DEs are natural DTs that dont have that type of explosion. Still good players that play the run well and occupy blockers but just not strong pass rushers. Hate having to rely purely on blitzes to pressure the qb.
