You have recruiting Purple and Gold glasses on. He is too small to see significant time this year, especially early in the season. Maybe as some situational pass rushing downs only, but I doubt he sees much playing time.

I watched the line play last year, and we have two DEs we can count on for 2015. Deondre Clark and Bower can play. I'm not saying they'll be as good as what we had last year, but I think they have a shot at it. They are definitely adequate starters for LSU.

You're right, though, I'd hate to see one of those two get injured, because then you'd be hoping that Neal or Teuhema are able to play serious minutes. I think it's very likely that Neal can do it. I know he's strong enough.

Well, that's why I said he has the opportunity to do so. With Coach O and Tommy on him during the summer, maybe he can beef up a little bit before the season starts. If we have any injuries, we'll NEED him to play.

We haven't done a good job of recruiting elite DE the last couple of years with the exception of key

That's why getting O was such a big deal

Hell why cant we move Godchaux to DE?? He was recruited as a DE, and didnt play very well as the starting DT. Let Valentine come in and replace him.
