I have yet To see a real breakdown of how that’s true

The real truth is that Brick started missing on DL like crazy and we had Senior us depth issues especially switching to 3-4.

OL recruiting wasn’t as bad as people make it out to. We had some high rated OL


It's a major cop out, sure.. but I don't feel like going to old classes and rankings. But LSU's classes under Miles were predominantly filled with 5* and 4* CBs, Safeties, RBs, and WRs. There was a big splash at DL or OL every other cycle or so, but it was very inflated considering the way we used the WRs and how many of the CBs we could actually put on the field when the prior classes had just as talented guys ahead of them.

In 2015 we took 5 OL 2 were top 10 OTs and a 5* guard.

2016 we took 3 OL

2014 we took OL who were 4 stars.

DL and keeping the DL on campus was an issue.

Bain and LMFOA getting kicked off the team hurt, but in 2016 we took Lawrence, Logan and Alexander and wanted Oliver bad.

Maybe our top guys were very high ranked skill players, but we had a decent amount of OL too

And we put 4 CBS on the field routinely, so recruiting a lot of them is important. We had major CBS depth issues.

I agree We recruited a lot of WRs for a team running 2 WR sets.
