Does anyone else think we need to recruit some linebackers this class?

Not really. We have 9 on the roster right now and none of the 3rd year players are a threat to leave

Joyner and Divinity would be a nice combo in 2016

Kevin Henry might grow into an OLB eventually

So, in 3 years all nine will be gone except the current freshmen who aren't good enough to go pro. Don't you think it would be nice to have some juniors?

Arthur McGinnis is going to get a hard look at camp.

I think we need 2 for depth purposes. Kevin Henry could be one of them

I think this guy is going to be hard to pass up, and I feel Chavis will move a Safety there from this year, with Henry being a decent candidate....

Yes, I've felt we needed two this year at least.

We will lose for sure Alexander, Jones, Louis, in 2015. That would leave us with

2016-
SR Beckwith,
RSJR Feist,
SR Riley,
JR Garrett,
RSSO D. Alexander
2015 SO
2015 SO
TF
TF
TF
TF

That would at least give us 4 guys with lots of experience coming into 2017.

Still wish Kenny Young would have been part of the 2014 class.

And JMO, but I think Darrel Williams might have better potential at LB instead of RB.

We need at least 2 linebackers this year with at least one being a 4 star, and then we stack up next year at the position.

Does anyone think we offer Lorenzo Phillips again?

This kind of thought is going to leave you pretty surprised these days. I'm more surprised when a 3rd year player stays honestly.

So far this kid seems like a guy you want coming off the bus first, but on the field last. Looks like Tarzan, plays like, well not Jane, because I don't think he's soft. Plays like some ineffective jungle animal associated with Tarzan.

He will have to have a big year for that to happen. It could happen but right now I would say 30/70 chance. He does not get much love outside the LSU system. By next year I think he makes FT All SEC and possible AA on some lists.
