It's not The L.F. 7's, or guice, or Key's. It's the Chris faulk's, The toby weathersby's, the clapp's, the freak Johnson's, the tolliver's etc that are really making it hard for the coaches to correct the issue.
If you had Clapp, Weathersby, and Tolliver (two didn't get drafted, one got drafted in the last round) this year. We would contend for a s.e.c. and n.c. There would be no weakness on the team.
LSU's inability to keep players, who are very good college ball players, that are low draft picks at best is really hurting the program. These kind of players are continuing to spring holes in the team.
Good thing other teams like BAMA or Clemson don't have those problems.

They both have guys who declare early, but Clemson is not a good comparison at all. They have MANY MANY less guys declare early than us. In fact, they are building a nice culture of the opposite...their ENTIRE DL returned when many could have went pro and been high round type picks. You simply dont find that anymore.
Alabama just had Buggs return after a great season. Could have gone pro. They do have a lot of early defections, but they have recruited at the level to easily compensate for that where as we simply arent near that level.

Jonathan allen, Reggie Ragland, Barrett Jones, just to name a few came back for their senior year at bama. I don't follow bama as much to know all their players, however, they do have more stay for their senior year than lsu does and they have far less low level draft picks declare. Usually the one's they have leave are higher round draft picks.
A undeniable fact is lsu has had more underclassmen declare than any other team since 2011 (8 years stretch). So, yes, it's a MAJOR ISSUE that other teams aren't having to deal with as much as us.

Occasionally there's a guy that leaves that's a surprise, but most of the time it's no surprise. The coaches know it's coming - they just have to plan accordingly.
