Who on the bench or in the latest recruiting class can fill it and play at a very high level in 2017?

This is important in getting the great LB play that everyone seems very concerned about.

LSU will still play a 4-3 this year, with more multiple looks.

I would think Lacouture would be the nose tackle in a 3-4 front.

Alexander, not Lawrence.

Lawrence plays the 3 tech

Alexander is much better suited shaded or straight up on the center

You're confusing two gap with one gap. Aranda runs a one gap system. No need for big space eaters that take up blocks for linebackers

Maybe, but I am sure regardless stellar upfront play masks bad LB and enhances good LB play.

Yes, but it depends on the system. Bama is primarily a 2-gap 3-4. They recruit linemen who can hold the point of attack. While Aranda will have his linemen holding their one gap and/or penetrating in the backfield. Same for the LB's and their gap responsibilities.
