No down vote here. The problem isn't processing players at the last minute to get a bigger fish. Its trying to get the lineman period. Bama has I believe four top 15 linemen that committed months ago. Nothing to process when they are already on board. We have to do what we do best. Get low four star ranked linemen and high three star linemen and develop them.

I was speaking on the offensive line way more than the defensive line. LSU has nearly closed the gap on that front IMO but no where close on the offensive side of the ball. Here's just a small sample

quote:
Physical lineman who is starting at his second position – right tackle – in as many seasons with the Crimson Tide ... earned Freshman All-America recognition a season ago ... has 21 career starts, including eight at right tackle in 2020 and 13 at left guard in 2019 … helps anchor the right side of the Alabama offensive line that blocks for the nation’s No. 1 pass efficiency offense (202.8), No. 4 passing offense (358.1 ypg) and No. 33 rushing attack (177.5 ypg) among teams who have played more than four games … the Alabama front has surrendered just six sacks (according to PFF)

quote:
Redshirt Freshman (2020)

Versatile offensive lineman who can play multiple positions for the Crimson Tide ... played in three games (Texas A&M, Tennessee and Mississippi State), earning three snaps with the second-team line late in the game against the Aggies, two versus the Vols and seven in the State game.

quote:
Redshirt Freshman (2020)
Big-bodied offensive lineman who redshirted in his first season at UA after playing in one game a season ago ... saw his first minutes of the season against Mississippi State and followed that with seven snaps against Kentucky.

quote:
HIGH SCHOOL
Played tight end at Ruston High, but is expected to make the switch to tackle once he joins the Tigers ... Caught 22 passes for 360 yards and three touchdowns during his senior season ... Has the physical tools and footwork needed to make the switch to tackle ... Rated as the nation’s No. 14 offensive tackle prospect … Named to the 2018 All-USA Louisiana Football Team as an offensive tackle … Coached by Jerrod Baugh.

quote:
Redshirted as a true freshman in 2019 … Spent most of the year recovering from a preseason injury … Back at full strength for 2020 … Will provide depth at left guard … Third generation LSU Tiger, following in the footsteps of his dad Adam and grandfather Dan Hargett … His dad played on the offensive line for the Tigers from 1993-97, serving as team captain in 1997 … His grandfather played on the defensive line for the Tigers from 1959-61 … His mom, Heidi, threw the discus for the LSU track and field team from 1991-94.
