Rivals has Sidney and Cousins no longer considering us, along with every other big man we have been after. Do you think Coach Johnson will go after any lower ranked players, or stand pat for a monster class next year? Louisiana is loaded for 2010, but I would still like a post player in this class. (maybe a JUCO) Will Garrett Green be our man in the middle?

Actually it is quite sparse once again. We only have 1 player in the Rivals 150. Langston Galloway

It's still early. I think Derenbecker is a player Johnson covets and Brian Williams is a good player.

As for 2009, I don't think there is any doubt he expects Aaron Dotson to step right in to Marcus Thornton's spot. Does Eddie Ludwig play or redshirt?

Hopefully gets to redshirt but that depends on the play of Alex Farrer (gasp) and Delwan Graham playing the 3.

He will definitely redshirt if Taz moves back to the 3.

That's what I hope it is. But I hope Storm is starting based on improvement, not because he's all we have.

I'd like to think that's the starting at lineup as well. The biggest problem we run into is we'll have to definitely have some conversion players. Taz will have to play the 3 and 4. Dennis Harris will have to play the 4 and 5. Alex Farrer will probably need to bee able to come in for the 2 and 3.

Bo will have to play 1 and 2.

He can play the 2 but the problem is defensively it creates a bad matchup for him being that he's only 6'1.

It sounds like we can expect to struggle a little bit.

No doubt. Hopefully no 13-18 though...but we lose 5 seniors.

Even if he's projected as a 2nd round pick? With no guaranteed money?

I can easily see us going small next year, playing Spencer and Bass alongside each other in the backcourt often. I've never seen Dotson play so it's hard for me to say that he will start or not, but obviously they'll rely on him to contribute at least. Hopefully his injury is as minor as TJ states and it won't be something that nags him into fall.

When it comes down to it LSU will rely heavily on one out of Green/Warren/Harris coming through and having a good season.

I am hoping Trent turns out to be a good recruiter because he can really coach. We will see quickly if he can recruit, give him one more year 2010 and then we will know.
