re: Chances of Lamar Louis....

Randle fits at Ryan Baker's spot. Baker is bigger at this point obviously but it's amazing how similar they are in athleticism,speed and style of play. Expect Randle to play a good bit next year and be a beast on special teams(again very similar to Baker)

Assuming we land the guys we want that are considered Lbs.

Davis-DE
Louis-LB inside or outside depending on coaches preference
Granier-MLB
Feist-OLB
Jones-OLB I think but do think he could play inside if we wnated him to once he bulks up
Phillips-OLB
Devall-MLB
If we miss on Phillips or Devall and want him
Perkins-OLB but could play rb first.
7 guys that could play LB and likely at least 6 do. That's a lot in any case but especially for us with all the young guys we have. Bound to be a couple of transfers down the line or some guys moving around. If we were to land 7 of those kids the coaches should be praised for convincing that many kids to play similar positions and with similar skillsets. It helps that all but Perkins are instate but still that would be one hell of a recruiting job. Also the kids should be commended for not being afraid to compete with one another. Those reasons are why I think we only land and take 1 more guy between Phillips,Devall and Perkins.
