So yeah, he is losing one, possibly two players that would have played this year. Eaux really has his work cut out for him. He has to decide whether to replace K. Joseph with Derek or Mr Stingley or he may just go with Derek Stingley. Tough, tough choice.

Agreed. There is never a scenario where it's beneficial to have talented depth at a position, or so much talent that even your three or four deep defensive backfield is made up of quality players.

This is the ONLY player from the 2018 class that is leaving that had actually been on the field for more than a few plays.

You say this to dismiss transfers, then bring up Chris Curry, Micah Baskerville and Chasen Hines.

Let's also not forget that Lewis and Traore were upper class players who are Seniors this season and have no possibility of contributing in 2020 or 2021.

Not to mention other possibles to play a LOT if not start:

Kardell
Maurice Hampton
Donte Starks
Devonta Lee (at safety more than WR)
Anthony Bradford
Raydar
Jay Ward
Kendall McCallum
Soni Fonua

If these guys are starting or playing a lot, what does that say about the incoming talent?

Losing two players who saw any playing time in an offseason is something to be happy about not miserable.

Only two players of six who are leaving saw the field at all last year. That is good. And they are not juniors or seniors that have been with the team 3 or 4 years.

LSU retaining EVERY DRAFT ELIGIBLE JUNIOR except for Greedy and Ed Alexander was the big win for LSU this offseason. It more than overcomes two freshmen (of which only one played) to transfer.

You continue crying about the 2018 recruiting class.

I will just keep laughing at you while I continue to smile about the players/starters from the 2018 class, the fact that only two eligible players declared for the draft this year, the bad-arse 2019 class that is already on campus or showing up and the #2 class in the nation for 2020 as of right now with the potential for even MORE exceptional players from all over the country.

Yeah college football is like that. Don't cry about them leaving be happy they were here.

They are the incoming talent are they not? It says they are very good football players. They will probably re-show the spring game in case you missed Stingley and Ika.
