Go look at O’s last two classes and it was loaded with guys that were rated high, but didn’t play up to their ratings. Many of them were out of state guys that played defense and we were excited to get them.
You just proved my point... O was a master recruiter but had checked out on the coaching part...BK has had 2 years of bringing in "his" guys and our defense has gotten progressively worse

There was 1 barely salvaged class that was mostly impact offensive players, 1 full class and a whole lot of portal guys plugging gaps. We haven’t gotten a full roster of “Kelly’s guys” on defense yet.

O’s last two classes should be the backbone of this team? Where are they now? Who are the impact players? The leaders? Your defensive leaders going into this season? Two Kelly transfers- Brooks and Wingo.

The staff went heavy on the portal two straight years for a reason, dumbass. O’s shitty coaching, program management, AND recruiting on his way down is the reason the defensive roster is where it is today.

You have to consider evaluating talent a vital part of recruiting. If you don’t you are making a mistake. The same thing applies to the portal. Signing stars and numbers don’t gusrdntef success.

O signed guys who looked good on a list, but way too many weren’t good players. You can’t survive doing that.

No it does not prove your point, it actually proves that O's and his staff's talent evaluations were spotty at best and awful at worst in regards to the 2020 and 2021 defensive recruiting classes. The defensive mis-evaluations during this period have now flamed out at LSU and provided little at other colleges as they moved on. Even Ricks was a bust at Bama.

Abyss and bottom of the barrel for LSU defense. Anybody that gave a shite could have done better on defense.
