2014 Class Numbers by Position
Posted on 2/24/13 at 6:39 pm
Posted on 2/24/13 at 6:39 pm
How many players are the Tigers looking to take at each position?
What do y'all think?
Probably 2-3 DEnds and same goes for DTs
Possibly 3 running backs, 5 wide receivers, 3 line backers, another Dlineman, or another dback.
How would you play the numbers?

My opinion:
1 QB
2 RB
1 FB possibly
4 WR
2 TE
4 OL
4 DL
2 LB
5 DB
If no fullback, a third LB or RB seems most likely. But I don't think we'll take 3 RBs in a class until '15.
ETA: Also, a 6th DB isn't out of the question either.

The 2013 class was so deep and filled a lot of urgent need positions, minus probably safety. Because of this, I think the coaches have the luxury of targeting the best players without being slaves to position. But your breakdown seems about right. Also, the plethora of strong walk-on kickers probably saves a spot there unless the staff really likes someone like they did Daniel Carlson.

We need 3 RBs. RB and S is our biggest need, IMO.

Smash Williams
What JUCO position do we need? The only JUCO I can see us taking is D. Williams and he would fullfil a WR need. We could possibly take:
Dupre
Quinn
Simms
Noil (Could move to DB if needed)
Then add Williams because you dont turn down a player of his caliber. I'd still take all 4 receivers with him because Williams will be 1 and gone.
Also, we will need 3 RB's in this class unless we move Brazil to RB. I say that because I can see Hill and Blue going early and that would leave Hilliard and Magee. Hilliard could also leave early due to his twins. I dont think it would be good to just have Magee and 2 freshmen.

1 LB shows up out of now where and we want to know numbers by position.

The nice thing about filling most our needs with the last cycle, we dont need to be as position need oriented this time around. We'll still try to get a couple backs, and 2-3 DE and DT like the staff wants, stuff like that. But we're able to take the best players available now...if that means 6 DBs instead of 5, so be it, I welcome it

I don't know the numbers but RB is without a doubt a position of need and WR is not. I think if we have a chance at some really good talent WR would be the position we can afford to drop off a guy to take the star!

We could be losing 5 WRs off the current roster before the '14 class gets to campus. I'd say that's a position of need.

We need 3 rbs. Hilliard already tweeting about leaving early. Blue is a sr and hill will be eligible.

OL - 4, always want that number at least in any class
TE - 2, only have two between the so and fr classes. LSU runs many three TE sets
WR - 4, only have four between the so and fr classes.
RB - 3, need at least that many. Only Hill in the so and fr classes.
QB - 1, always want at least one in every class
DL - 3, great haul the other week. Need to keep it well stocked. 1 DE, 1 DT and 1 that couple possibly play either. With the possibility that one of the LBs we just signed might outgrow the position three is a solid number.
LB - 3, need to keep the numbers up especially if Beckwith and or Jones get any bigger.
DB - 5, with the amount of DBs LSU plays every game we need at least that number.
I believe those numbers come out to a full class of 25.

That's a solid list.

QB-1 could take none but I think Cam wants one of his own
RB-2 Have to have at least 2 but I'd like to see a 3rd change of pace guy
WR-4 could see a fifth.
TE-2
OL-4 could see a 5th sneak in if the right guy
DE-2 maybe a 3rd
DT-2 maybe 3
LB-3
CB-2 3 if the right guy and Paris is gonna start out there
S-3 I count Paris here even though he'll start at CB.
FB-I think we'll take one May be a walk on or may be a scholarship.
K/P-think there will be at least 1 in the class. We need a K and Rheem can leave anytime he wants at his age.
