Is LSU recruiting any ILB?

Seems like every LB recruit is a OLB. Need another thumper like a Beckwith or White.

Boggles my mind why LSU can't get several stud ILB's every once in a while. I remember one year Miami got (5) of the Top 10 or so in the country. Not sure why these guys would not be busting the door down with so few on the roster and Aranda at the helm. But, this is not a new phenomena. We may never know the answer.

Beckwith wasn't recruited as an ILB nor was White for the most part.

Actually, they were. Both had other positions being talked about, but their final position was always going to be ILB. Beckwith did play some DE as a frosh, but that was because of Chavis' man crush on Welter and LSU had to get Beckwith on the field somehow.

I have a feeling with Aranda officially signing his contract we are going to have a rush of 4 and 5 star LBs coming on board. LBs are the center piece of his defense!

Yep Austin Thomas went in home with him last week. 247 mods think we have a good shot at flipping him from Oklahoma.

I would hope you are right- LB, especially ILB is a must need!

I don't understand why Aranda doesn't try to flip every LB currently being offered or committed to Wisconsin. That team is such a damn anomaly. I don't understand how they can constantly field ferocious defenses and suitable offenses with maybe 7 players on roster that LSU would even think of offering. They recruit at the same level of Kentucky yet rank in the top 15 pretty regularly and I think I read that they've put the 3rd most players in the NFL in the past 5 years.
That's absolutely ridiculous when you think about it.
Arkansas averages recruiting classes that are ranked twice as good.
Their success doesn't seem possible.
didn't mean to hijack thread!

First thing they need to do is flip our current players wasted at fullback + Roddy.

Will Ignont and Monty Rice are a couple of possibilities. Also, I think Levi Jones has the frame to grown into an ILB, though he may be more of a hybrid.

Shanon Reid if they tell him he's a take. Ignont is visiting in January. I think we could flip him from Tennessee.

I forgot about the Phillips kid from Tenn. that would be a good get.

We need Ibs asap ,but even though we are small there when injuries happen and teams know it ,our defense STILL gave us the ball back all year to get the w and we just couldn't get it done on offense for whatever reason .

We just started pressing this young man from Tennessee? I guess we thought we were loaded at the position earlier this year. When you are late to show you get what's left. A program like ours that claims to be a top program shouldn't be getting what's left. We should easily bring in a five star ILB every year with a couple other ones. How hard can it be unless you are just neglecting the recruiting for that position.
