You talking about guys who never played or never will play and they are not Depth just taking up a Roster Position. A player that has never done anything is not a loss!

Lack of DT depth is still enticing. We'll lose LaCouture and likely Godchaux next year. We will lose Thomas this year including the 3 we already lost in the offseason. That leaves Herron and Gilmore as the only two scholarship DTs on the roster right now, that would be here in 2017.

We will only have 4 scholarship DTs next year before the class gets here, and Bain has been moved to DE. Now he might get pushed back to DT, but that is not a given.

We have so far Logan and Alexander as DTs for the 2016 class, but we need two more IMO. Taylor and Lawrence for DT, Manuel and Burns for DE. Maybe try to flip Guidry or Oliver, or both because they can both play inside and outside. Willie Baker for DE.

It's still opening up roster spots and less competition to even begin to compete with. It still clears their perspective. They don't have to worry over the idea of potentially losing out playing time to guys who have been around the program longer. Whether or not they contributed yet..

If you are a top defensive lineman, LSU is a dream school right now. You get to play for the best defensive lineman position coach and early playing time is a legit possibility. And you know all the other top DL players are interested in LSU and playing in a possible rotation with these guys will only make you look that much greater.. The other elite talent on the line will draw so much attention.
