You are so fired up about three guys who the world will never, ever hear from again. I take that back. Constantine might turn out to be a player. A player who made it clear from the very start that he wanted to go away for college. Frankly, Harris was the same way

Realistically, the other two guys are going to be outclassed by teammates at the schools they signed with. But your genius has identified all three as LSU ( that means top 10 in the country) caliber rush LB’s

Tongue and Harris are both in the bottom 5-6 recruits at Georgia and Bama this year but you think LSU will rue the day they didn’t sign those kids? Just amazingly stupid

You are mischaracterizing what I am saying and putting words in my mouth, but some of what you said has merit...here and there. I agree with you about Constantin.

It all depends on if this staff can replace them in 2019 with an equal or better player...we failed on Dean, who may have been able to make up the loss if we would have landed him...Starks could have been moved to WDE/OLB if we would have landed Dean or vice versa.

Call me all the names you want...I'm not alone with seeing this fail by our staff on in-state 4 stars, ranked in the top 10 at their position, with speed & frame for the position need. All three are very athletic, played D and O in HS...multiple positions.

Elite DL guys can greatly disrupt the passing game, especially on obvious passing situations like 3rd and long. If they don't have to 2-gap and are just focused on getting to the QB those guys can do damage.

Remember Ish is going to be a DE and may have to trim up some. Aranda will also scheme to get his elite guys in 1-on-1 situations where he expects those guys to get wins.

Brooks is no smaller than Mingo was when he came in, and not much smaller than Chaisson

Brooks looks like he will do and the staff likes him, but I think we need two in 2019...Why?

There is such attrition/injuries with Chaisson and Key at that position, that when they got hurt and with no experienced back-ups and/or with equal level talent, our pass rush went to shite...

those really fast WDE/OLB hybrids are hard to find and keep healthy...remember Montgomery...always hurt...

Don't forget about Lee, either. If we get him, that is. He's around 6' 3" 215 and has a very solid build. I don't think he's quite as long as Key, Mingo and Chaisson, but he's definitely fast and powerful. I think he's going to end up at OLB on the next level.

Brooks is 10 lbs less than Khris Bogle, who nobody argues is a safety. He also is a year young for his class. He will be 225-240 lbs just like Chaisson and Key.
