re: LSU will recover from departures (ESPN article)

I look at it as a huge opportunity. We could come out next year and show college football that our program is so strong that we can lose that kind of talent and still be in the hunt for an SEC Championship or even a National Championship. We can send a message to the top recruits that they can come here and know that they will end up in the NFL, know that they are going to be competing for championships, and know that they are going to have a coach in Les that will do anything for them. I truly think we have a chance to still be very good next year. I would rather lose all those defensive players then Offensive. Chavis will not have a shitty defense with our talent.
