re: Should LSU even recruit slot receivers as a "need"?

Jared Mitchell, Chris Mitchell, Ricky Dixon

Were those guys slot receivers? Jared definitely got a chance at playing slot end. Chris was the third receiver by default, and Ricky Dixon just came in to block occasionally.

John Williams, and Chris Tolliver

These guys are definitely slot guys, and we'll see how they are used this season.

Rantavious Wooten, Kenny Bell, Andre Dubose

If we had landed any of these guys, especially the first and the last names on that list, my guess is we would have used our slot receivers more last year.

So my simple question is... is the slot receiver truly a "position of need" in the current scheme?

All that said....no. We have Tolliver and Williams. If you assume Taylor will back up Randle at slot end, what we really need is a true wide out ala Terrance Toliver. Hunter fit that bill. Oh well.
