re: Alleva right on track

youre making be defend Alleva but Trent Johnson was a good hire on paper and JJ was forced on him by the good ole boys

I stated facts, I’m not making you do anything.

Football: 9-4
Basketball: 17-14
Baseball: 38-26

I understand it’s outlandish to expect to be a juggernaut in all three but when you’re located in a hotbed of talent (Louisiana) with no major in-state competition and are in the what is arguably the best conference in all 3 major sports, it’s fair to expect to be pretty damn good and elite at atleast one. GOOD PROGRAMS DONT REBUILD THEY RELOAD, and from what I’ve seen this looked like a rebuilding year for all three sports across the board. There is much promise in the direction all three are headed for next year but does not gaurntee anything, I hope we never have to sit through a year like this ever again.

I’m not the least bit worried about the baseball or basketball programs. LSU baseball was given a lot of hills to climb this season and they struggled to do it at times, but next season they should be back to national revelance. Not much has to be said about the basketball program, Wade will make this a perennial power in time.

Football is the only real question mark, and while things may look mediocre right now I don’t think that’s a program that will be held down long. Whether it’s Orgeron or the next guy, that’s a program with to many resources to stay down for a long period of time.

Basketball is in great shape.

Our recruiting class in footballl was exactly what was needed. Include the two grad transfers and it is easily top 10 and probably top 5. We finally have a recruiter and coach recruiting to a roster and managing a roster instead of just loading up on skill players in state.

Baseball has overachieved given the draft and graduation attrition. Very good foundation in place.

. Are you sure about that? What if it was those players that left on account of him on both the Oline and DLine or the misses he had as head recruited for DLine?
LSU had 6 defections including their most experienced starter on the Oline alone. LINK


Then there’s Valentine, fat boy from last season that didn’t play as a freshmen, how about this article explaining things if Loc didn’t return. There is so much wrong and stupidity with this.

As long as ed o is the coach there is nothing to get our hopes up for

and both lines will still be a HELL of a lot better than when he took over.

Losing one starter to academics and a bunch of backups who wouldn't have played anyway isn't the worst that could happen.

The two articles you linked didn’t really say anything to back up your POV.

The sub-headline on the article about OL attrition is “It’s not about losing five guys... just one.” In other words, the only loss that hurt was Teuhema.

The DL article only speculated that losing certain DL guys to the NFL were a cause for concern, but the last line of the article was, “Coach Ed Orgeron is bringing the swagger back at a position that produced great players and great results on the field for years……” That doesn’t exactly seem like a derogatory statement about O, and I didn’t see Valentine’s name anywhere in the article.

Am I misunderstanding your arguments? What was the point of linking those two articles?
