OK, so let's assume we get Thomas, Shaw, and one of either Liuget, Bryant or Robinson. Great class, especially for what many of you are calling a down year in LA. What is the one position you wish we had done better at? OL? LB? RB? QB? Personally, you guys have cured my paranoia about RB, so I'm wondering if we've filled our LB roster with enough Ali Highsmith quality guys. OL is still beyond my perceptive ability to even have an ill-informed opinion.
If we don't get Robinson, I will be a little disappointed in our LB recruiting. We're solid, but not spectacular there & for losing 2 starting LBs I would think we could do better. I feel very good about our crop of D & OLine, J. Jefferson as our QB, and Jermaine Thomas at RB (if we get him).
I would agree with this wholeheartedly. Definitely disappointed we couldn't pull a stud like Arthur Brown. The trio of Theriot, Baker and Prater could be really really good. I think Baker is the surest bet of the 3. We could really use Robinson.
Baker could be a good one, time will tell. I think Theriot may become a good player at LB. He has some athleticism to play. As for Prater I definitely see him as a special teams and back up. Overall not a very strong LB core, Id say avg. LSU has never really recruited LBs well. Im sure we could move players around though if need be.
They reaffirmed thier commitments recently but have not heard anything since. Dont think you have to worry too much about them waivering.
