Allen and maclin are afterthoughts



maybe, maybe not. it's ok if they're not Lavar Edwards as bench guys. I'd settle for Tremaine Johnson.

Make no mistake, Mingo and Sam are gone sans injury. This was the year they came back. They aren't doing it twice. With Lavar graduating, if Logan leaves, it will be devastating to the DL and we'll take a significant step back.

But the LBs should be much better. DBs will be a wash depending on who leaves and whether or not Tyrann comes back.


We'll still be good, but not nearly as good on d. Mainly due to DL depth. Next year will be the year the offense needs to step up and carry the team.

The defensive line is going to take a massive hit.

We're actually going to be surprisingly thin at DT next year...

I think Defenses evolve as peopel graduate and develope. I think you are gonna see the strength of our DLine shift more inwards as Freak gets better, and Sam and Mingo leave. I think out LInebacking core will get better too. And i think we will have a lot of depth in our secondary.

I think it goes
DE Rascoe, Hunter (Allena dn freshmen backing up)
DT Johnson Ego, with Thomas being the first guy subed in.
OLB Kwon and Barrow. With Louis and Debo getting th emost reps after that.
MLB Minter ( i think he stays)
CB Simon, Mills/ Honey Badger
FS Martin
SS Loston

SONIC SAM told me personally 2 years ao he will not leave before he graduates.He made a promise to his high school math teacher when he was a senior in high school to get his degree first.Sam is a man of his word.

Saying Jordan Allen is an afterthought is TOTALLY your opinion! Miles very high on him...too bad he had season ending knee injury on special teams...he, Rasco & Hunter will all be in the rotation next year!

It would be nice to see Sam come back...how hard will it be turn down a 5th-10th overall pick in the Draft??

we have mass exodous on the line, but not in the backfield or linebackers. So id say LSU stacked sec fricked.

I believe you, but you dont turn down Top 10 pick status.... You go pro, and get your degree in the offseason...

Not so sure reid leaves early. Hes not going to be drafted like landry, peterson or mo. He is awesome, but so far he hasnt replicated last season imo.

Every mock draft Ive seen has him in first round.... I know its still early for that, but him going is more likely than him staying IMO

Sunnydaze said Jordan Allen was an afterthought...i was saying no way!

Yeah Allen has the makings of a NFL DE one day if he stays healthy...extremely agile at 6'-6" 253

LSU DE Units Tops in Country..would not trade them for anybody!
