What Is The Deal With DT Recruiting?
Posted on 8/18/14 at 1:08 pm
Posted on 8/18/14 at 1:08 pm
For years, defensive tackle has been the position that LSU has enjoyed an embarrassment of riches. Last year, LSU started to see a slide based on attrition and a down recruiting class or two.
LSU is now in the position of having to rely heavily on completely inexperienced defensive tackles in 2014.
Projecting forward, LSU has no defensive tackled committed thus far in the 2015 class.
What is the likelihood of landing a stud DT or two in the remainder of available spots for 2015?
What are our prospects for 2016?

not many elite prospects in state for 2015
2016 will be the year for elite DT

Just kinda been a dry spell as far as guys who fit in our scheme and lived in our footprint, and that includes OOS. Willis was the second biggest miss of last year's class behind CRob, and we all know that story. 2016 is expected to be big.

really hope we get Ed Alexander

most of our studs come here as a DE and put on weight and become a DT in year two or three in the program. i.e. Ego, Brockers, Logan, Herron, Lacatoure
Isiah Washington could fit that mold.

LSU is stocked with young DTs. Lacouture, Thomas, Herron, Bain, Gilmore, Valentine, Godchaux, Trey L. That is eight, and only Thomas could conceivably leave, with a good season.
We don't need a big DT class for 2015,though one DT would be nice.
No matter LSU's DLU rep, it is still harder to reel in an out of state kid than an instate one. And of the ones instate who were on the early radar, Moton.lacks explosion and is more of a 3-4 NT, Milton is viewed more as a center prospect than a DT, and Washington's stock fell off.
I'm still wondering if the staff is looking at Oshea Dugas, and if so, is it as a DT or OT.

I've been seeing several threads lately about the lack of DT recruiting for 2015 and I can't understand why. Do fans not realize LSU signed 4 DTs in 2013 and 3 in 2014. If these guys follow recruiting they should without a question know how ridiculously loaded the 2016 class is at DT, especially in state.
LSU always relies on inexperienced DTs. They never have the same returning starters at that position because they are always going to the league. I'm really not worried these guys don't have the same numbers of snaps Nevis, Downs, or Pep had. Just let them prove themselves when their name is called like Brockers, Logan, and Ego did.

I think people need to remember that Lacatoure was the #3 guy last year. That isn't because we didn't have other option
Thomas going down sucks, but we have young talented guys who hopefully can step up as a unit.
i have faith a lot of talent there.

LSU has been in this exact same position several times this century and we've had several newcomers come of age such as Williams, Dorsey, Brockers, etc. I expect to see two guys at least step up big this year as we have an abundance of talent.

According to Chavis this is the most talent at DT since he has been at LSU. If you look at it, you have 2 5* plus some very good other DT.

When you can't keep DTs for more than 3 years, you typically run into this problem. It's a nice a problem to have because it means you're an NFL factory. It's natural you're going to have years where you're extremely young when everyone leaves early.

Well this brings me to all those who thump their chest about LA, now where are the elite DTS? I havent seen any in a couple of cycles. You cant win a championship recruiting LA alone, not enough top caliber players in the trenches every year, not enough high caliber qb. anyone who thinks any coach can come in here sign anyone they want and win is fooling themselves.
