re: DT and CB desperation is overblown

Exactly
LSU can't win titles on the hopes that non performers are all of a sudden going to give 4-5* level production.
I don't see but maybe minor improvement next year with new coaches because the players are not going to get any faster or tougher than the pitiful coverage we saw this past year.
LSU is at the least 2 legitimate 4-5* DB's that can be coached up for LSU to even match the past season record. LSU has played players that have no business being in the SEC level play on defense, and while I see the top teams, Texas/Ga constantly adding 5* players from place like bama...I don't see LSU getting any of them. LSU must be broke after adding yet another WR who will be on the bench most of the time because we are overloaded at the position. I don't like what is going on with our recruiting/bidding.
