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

We haven't had a true slot reciever since Early Doucet. IMO that is what is wrong with our offense. We don't have that guy that can take a 5yd pass and take it to the house.
So YES we need to recruit slot guys. I was thinking maybe Lache gets a look at the slot and could be used like Reggie Bush.

Well, we haven't had a guy who produced in the slot, but we have had guys who are "true slot receivers." They're just not thrown to.

Early wasn't that kind of guy when he was here.

We actually have lots of guys who can catch a five yard pass and take it to the house.
Chris Tolliver is a speedster.
John Williams is an all-around athlete who has just been overshadowed by other all-around athletes to this point. He was at one time considered as a punt returner, and he apparently played a heck of a Josh Nesbitt in Ga Tech bowl prep.
Drayton Calhoun is supposedly electric with the ball in his hand.
Then there is always "crazy legs" Murphy.
Any of these guys could be a serviceable slot receiver, and present a dangerous threat the defense would need to account for.
ETA: That is, of course, if we actually use the slot receiver, which we wouldn't do (and that is Stagg's point).

At Oregon, they're going to use him all over the field....
