Everybody needs to come back next year

This is a young team. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Of all the memes repeated after LSU losses, this has got to be the dumbest.

LSU's best and most consistent player all year has been a Freshman. Obviously he had no issue adapting to college ball. Of the rest of LSU's primary contributors, the core of this "young" team consist of:

A 4-year starter
Two 3-year starters
A Senior JUCO player who has play 30 mins per game since he's been here.

The only young player who was expected to contribute big things, but has looked overwhelmed is Martin. The reason expectations were so high for this team is because you had a talented freshman class joining a group of very experienced vets.

There are a lot of reasons this team hasn't met expectations this year, but being a "young" teams isn't one of them.
