valentine is a key for a special season?

not just because of his impact as a player. this team is capable of a special season without him.
but to win the big championships you not only need to be good, you've got to have some great breaks. the stars have to align.
so far I have to say the stars are aligning. coaching staff is awesome. we had some key seniors come back this year. recruiting is awesome.
I just feel that not only do we need valentine for depth, but it would just be that final exclamation point that things are going the way of the tigers.
indications are that he's doing the work (info from this board). if he doesn't make it, so be it. this could still be a very special year.
not putting all the eggs in the basket with whether he gets here or not. it's just a feeling he puts us over the top.

Definitely not a key, but would be ideal if he played a role

He'll be a component during the month of November if everything works out. Not only from a depth standpoint, but stopping the power run against teams like Bama and Arky.

He hasn't taken a snap in the SEC yet. He's a complete wildcard. I don't even consider Valentine when I think about the 2016 team. If he comes in and earns a role, then that's great, but we can't count our chickens before they hatch.

The key to a special season is a player that is not actually on the team.

He could be very helpful, yes, but not the key.
The key is and has always been the OL

How can anybody possibly know what kind of impact Valentine will have? This reminds me of all the Frank Herron hype 2 years ago. Let's wait and see if he even arrives in shape, much less pin the season on his play.

Is he really going to play?

Valentine has turned into the Jake Latz of football

I'm counting on the return of that nasty, gutter top 5 LSU defense along with decent QB play and an elite backfield running. Would be something special. I haven't been optimistic lately with our staff (whom I respect) but I'll change my tune and lay my feelings on the line for 2016--just one last time.

Is Valentine on the roster now?
I know he was trying to make amends and get back on but is he actually on the team or is all this conjecture?
Really asking. I have no idea.

Here is the reality:
1. When was the last time the NCAA Clearinghouse worked in LSU's favor in one of these cases? With a complicated past I wouldn't hold my breath on him getting cleared instantly.
2. I know he is losing weight but is he in the same shape that the players currently on roster are?
3. There are some pretty good players on roster now that have played a spring in the new scheme.
I think he's going to be great. We just might have to wait till mid season to see him consistently be on the field.

Maybe we should wait to see if Valentine is a difference maker (if he can even play) and if Aranda is the closest DC you can get to actually having God as your DC, before we crown them the greatest ever.
