Their leading receiver going into the fall has a whopping 24 career catches.
Add that to an offense that will be pretty much shifting from a zone read offense to a pass offense.
That offense will have alot of learning to do in the offseason, IMO.

Rueben, for as great as his future is, had 11 catches last year

point being that as great as he is he contributed very little. LSU was fortunate w/ injuries last year at the WR pos. Any injuries next year and LSU doesn't have that luxury waiting in the wings. The fact that for some reason you even mention a starting corner in the depth chart says a lot ab the depth

Gonzales, in the Songy interview, said that CT was vastly improved in a few months, hungry to get on the field and was going to be a major asset for the offense this year. So, it looks like he will be stepping up. I'd take TT, RR, RS and an improved CT.

I don't think it would ever come to that. I think we have pleanty of depth and freshman can usually fill that #3 or #4 WR role without much problem if we have injuries.
you can toss that WR listing out the window. Kid is starting opposite Peterson.

i was jus makin a point that experience can be a non factor at times.

maybe, but wouldn't have much confidence. After listening to BG last week, he's got a lot of work to do w/ the WR corps.

Deangelo Peterson is a WR...kind of. He's listed at TE (he's a dangerous receiver at TE), but I'm sure he could be split out at WR if we needed him to fill in.

Medical reasons my arse.
You have evidence to the contrary?
I'm just saying it isn't a coincidence that two WRs were let go when we have 4 coming in with the next class, and two already committed for the class after that.
Just like it is no coincidence we let a FB go when we've got another excellent FB coming in with the next class.
Maybe these guys were a little banged up. But shoulder injuries and concussion issues don't sound like career-ending issues. I think it was convenient that these players be let go to make room for incoming players.
It has to be done. Its the dirty little secret of college sports. The SEC is the worst in the country when it comes to this.

Maybe ya'll are right, and maybe I'm just being paranoid about this.

Mo is not playing wr ever, he is the starting weak side CB if he gets hurt playing WR who is playing CB, think we are shallow at WR take a look at DB,
Also you cant count on any player until they prove they can perform during the game.

books... just think about doucet.. he wasnt catching shite when he had clayton, bowe, and davis in front of him. But great wrs step up when it is their turn and we havent had that problem in quite some time. Rueban wasnt going to catch 25-30 passes with toliver and lafell in front of him.
