We've recruited very well at DT the last two years. We've signed eight during that time. We really just need to develop that talent we already have.
Valentine is the missing piece in the middle IMO.
Thomas we knew wasn't anything special but it certainly hurts he hasnt been 100% all season. He was supposed to be the most advanced DT coming into the season.
LaCouture is a guy the coaches didnt want to count on this early (Godchaux for that matter too, but Godchaux has the talent to start in the SEC).
I think our DT rotation next year ends up being:
Thomas (if 100%), Godchaux
Valentine, Lacouture
It's unfortunate to not see 2nd year players in Bain, Herron and Gilmore get many reps at all in a situation where if they were good enough they would be. I hope just 1 of those 3 step up big time because I would hate to think we missed that badly on 3 very well thought of prospects.

On the flip side, Godchaux has been one hell of a pleasant surprise. Hoping the freshman getting more reps motivates the others mentioned above.

Are you confusing Thomas with Mickey Johnson? Thomas has been a solid rotation guy. It was Johnson that was chosen over the West Monroe defensive tackle that most people were upset about not getting an offer. I don't know if I've ever noticed Johnson on the field late in blow out games.
