re: LSU #3 in recruiting

I’m saying O has done a good job shoring up the thin areas, yes.

And I’m saying this isn’t 2017. Smart went 8-5 his first year because of the same issues.

10-2 is a reasonable expectation.

Kirby Smart had UGA in the NCG last year, in his second year, after having similar issues in his first.

No more fricking excuses.

Nice edit.

And did Kirby have to play a defensive lineman every snap of a game during his great season?

Did Kirby have to play over 30 true and RS freshmen in his first year?

Georgia fans hated Kirby after his first season in the SEC EAST.

And you’re complaining because LSU fans aren’t sold on O because of his first full season.

Georgia fans are sold on Kirby now.

If O wins the SEC (or even goes 10-2) this year, you’ll see the same thing here. See how that works?

My asking if Kirby had to have a defensive lineman every snap of a game because of lack of depth is complaining to you? If so, I guess I am complaining.

Will they when Georgia winds up in the NCAA doghouse? Bama had the #1 recruiting class 2011-2016. Kirby was there the whole time, he left for Georgia and now Georgia has record setting classes. Is something going on or did recruits know that Kirby was some GREAT coach that was destined for greatness???

The funny thing is that Bama can't report Georgia because he was at Bama during all those years of great classes.

Are you serious Clark? I can see the posts now of how many teams replaced coaches, their records, final rankings, etc, etc, etc. Your ilk will never be happy no matter what happens.

I don’t care who is coach, I want LSU to succeed. I still think LSU is an elite program and should be competing for championships.

Good for you. This if from last season.

LSU without two key defensive reserves against Ole Miss in Ed Alexander and Michael Divinity

quote:

---

Depth is a lingering issue for the Tigers this season. At one point during LSU's loss at Mississippi State, Orgeron had four defensive linemen available for three D-line positions. The depth problems are preventing a deep rotation or any rotation at all

---

quote:

---

Earlier this season, defensive end Christian LaCouture played every snap of a game. Starting defensive end Rashard Lawrence missed three of the first five games with an ankle injury, and a broken finger prevented Alexander from playing in two games.

---

quote:

---

Frank Herron missed the first six games of the year because of a presumed half-season suspension. He returned last week against Auburn, playing about 15 snaps. Senior Deondre Clark and freshman Neil Farrell rarely rotate.

---

I am glad that you think Eaux is such a great coach that he could go from NO depth on the defensive or offensive lines to competing for championships the very next year.

quote:

---

Edit: shame on you if you’re trying to lower the bar and make excuses based on who is coach.

---

Two true freshmen having to start on the O-line. No depth on the D-line. Doesn't matter who the coach is. Even the GREAT Kirby would have trouble winning the SEC EAST having to deal with that.

quote:

---

Why don't you tell us? You seem to have it all figured out.

---

For Bama it was a Dodge dealership, clothes store, etc. Haven't seen pictures of Georgia players on instagram showing their stacks of cash and new cars yet.

“Had four defense lineman available”

Remind me again who on the LSU staff was the D line coach in 2015, the D line coach/recruiting coordinator in 2016, the intern coach in 2016, and the head coach in 2017??

It’s amusing how some want to give Coach O a complete pass on what one would assume to be one of his main responsibilities since 2015......recruiting DL guys.

What ever the case, it appears at this time that we’re having some good fortune in the recruiting process. Sounds good to me.

quote:

---

You talk like LSU was bereft of talent. Nobody said this prior to Troy and MSU. The depth wasn’t so much of an issue that the team couldn’t compete.

---

I posted articles stating what happened. Do you dispute anything that was reported? What I posted was defense only. There were also players missing on offense.

quote:

---

You can try to make 2017 look like O was facing an apocalyptic lack of talent/depth all you want to, but the fact is it was not catastrophic as you portray.

---

Did I say LSU having a D-ineman having to play every defensive snap was catastrophic? Did I say that only having 4 defensive linemen available during the MS St game was a bad thing?

You can read into what I post however you want. It is all about perception and bias versus FACT. If you are upset by FACT, that is your problem.
