He was involved when he was LSU, but he was not credited with any big recruits while here. I checked on 247 last week. I was actually surprised at how little talent we signed on the defense during those years. If his defenses were top 10 back then, he should have no problem fielding them now.

Let Coach O handle the recruiting.

Coach O will sell the scheme and the plan. Aranda wasn’t known as an ace recruiter either.

Coach O can also sell the fact that he will be at LSU their entire time there.

Dare I say he got it done with ‘Saban’s players’??

I hope you're right but I think those days might be gone with how the SEC Offensive Landscape has changed since he was DC here. I'm not saying he will do poorly. I think he will do well. I'm just not expecting back in the top 10 too quickly. I would guess top 20, and then hopefully top 10 in a couple years. If we can land Burch and/or Jackson (probably a pipe dream I know) he will have some extreme firepower on the line. Even if we miss out on both he will still be in great shape talent wise for the next few years.
