Freshman

because it is what happens to most freshman......

Because some schools have much bigger holes to fill than LSU. When these heralded freshmen become juniors, should our new freshmen replace them? Go straight to the corner and get your pointy hat.

Its all about the NFL dude, which we just pump out picks like crazy.

my freshman year... only 2 true freshman played.. and that was 2 more than the year before....

Since you've done so much research on the subject Matt Foley, please post the number of freshmen that have played for the Top 25, including LSU so we can see where we stack up in this category.

if you are having to play true freshman - then your previous three recruiting classes must not have been very good

Well Golly Gee Heckfire, Saban has that special eye for talent. Look at LSU's 2002 recruiting class. Does it get better than that?? I think Not! Almost all All-Americans!

I like how Bama and Fl play their folks, regardless of class status, who ever has the most talent is going to be starting.

sammich also a lot of busts on there too.. but not gonna point em out.. CUZ I know them - very well

Busts? I'm not seeing any. Saban's eye for talent is impeccable. Starting at QB, with Lester Ricard an LSU great, and who can forget Blair Irvin & Junior Joseph? Tory Collins & Willie Demps - possibly 2 of the best to ever play at LSU.
