re: Wednesday predictions

Agree, I just think signing only 2 O-lineman in a recruiting is too few even if we return all starters. It might be a problem a couple years down the road if some don’t work out

Still think we need another offensive lineman in this class. Two [including Kimo] simply isn't enough. I'm really glad, however, that Dillinger is already enrolled.

No HS recruits left that you take. The fact that all 5 guys came back bought you a year. You sign 2 this year which I think gets you to 15 going into Fall camp. That is a number you can live with. Returning Scholarship OL are 1) Liam Shanahan 6-5 304 SR, 2) Austin Deculus 6-6 331 SR, 3) Ed Ingram 6-3 315 JR, 4) Chase Hines 6-3 349 JR, 5) Dare Rosenthal 6-7 327 SO, 6) Cam Wire 6-6 311 SO, and then 7) T. Perry 6-6 329 FR, 8) M. Martinez 6-4 325 FR, 9) A. Bradford 6-5 365 FR, 10) X Hill 6-3 307 FR, 11) Charles Turner 6-5 287 FR, 12) K. Thomas 6-3 326 FR, 13) Marcus Dumervill 6-5 310 FR.

I alwys thought how many OL you signed this year was contingent on who came back. So since all 5 starters returned, no need to go get a graduate transfer. Dillinger is already signed and enrolled that means you go into spring ball with 14 Scholarship OL. You bring on Kimo and you have your 15 going into Fall camp, 3 Deep with Scholarship OL.

Now LSU does have lots of them bunched up as some of those Freshman are RS Freshman, some True and all get last year back. Liam, Deculus, Ingrma and probably Dare are all gone next year, So lets Say LSU's OL has a 2019 year, and LSU is an SEC Title and playoff contender, you lose 4 of the 5 OL next year, 1 guy transfers do to position backlog, so you have 10 OL returning for 2022 going into Spring ball. You sign 5 in 2022, and Louisiana has a great group of in-state OL, you can get back to 15 without having a bunch of kids stacked in the same class.
