If we don't flip Allen or Moses, which is not expected. And we miss out on Gay. Thoughts on

Y'all Moses is literally apart of Alabama's football team now. It's over.
Bama is Allens dream school.
Please stop....

Those 2 guys would have seen the field as freshmen at LSU. Will get lost on the depth chart at Bama and never play. Gotta let people screw up their own lives if that's what they want to do. Stop talking about these fools!!!

He's good but they have higher people on the board right now

Screwing up their lives? They'll win a couple championships, start by junior year, have 1 great year, and still get drafted very high in the NFL draft. That doesn't sound like "screwing up their lives". Sounds very very smart to me.

They made the easy decision for themselves. Coming here would have required being leaders and likely dealing with some humbling experiences as they play a lot early on. Not everyone has the makeup to endure that kind of pressure.
You can't fault these guys for going where they can learn for a couple years and just be another face on a defense. If they end up not living up to the hype like a Hootie Jones, then nobody will say much. Expectations for them would have been higher here as individual players. Bama is at a point where they just plug in another 5 star guy if one isn't working out.
Don't blame the kids at all. Not every recruit has the courage of a Kevin Faulk, who came here when we were trying to re-establish ourselves.
Fortunately for us, if anyone can maximize talent at a position, it's Aranda with linebackers. Get him some good solid players and we will be just fine

Johnston has been mentioned on this board before. What schools is he considering--someone indicated Iowa.
I would not rule him out and hopefully there are other LB prospects.

Boy, you need to put money on this, you will win a fortune. Odd's are a lot of that WILL NOT happen. Less than 1% of all college athletes make it to the n.f.l.
I think people need to move on from them. LSU will be fine w/o them. We are going to find quality line backers. The key to defense is defensive line. I will trade getting Wilson over these two any day and twice on sunday. When you dominate the line of scrimmage, you win. When we had Nevis, Francois, Dorsey, brocker, mingo, etc causing havoc, no one had to worry about the linebackers.

We'll end up with some quality LBs.

At LSU it's > 25%, I'm sure bama is similar.
And that % is just drafted. Much higher if we include making it into an NFL camp

Agree with this. When we didn't though you saw the difference a beckwith in the middle made, works both ways. But like you said our Dline should be like old times

If you take last year's class and put them with our current DL commits and hopefully Mathis and Wilson, then we are headed back in that direction. It will be the most talent we've had up front since 2011.
