We already have a solid D-line for 07 and 08 even without the current recruiting class, but here is a looksee at the future: Potential depth chart for LSU '09: LE - Rickey Jean Francois (Sr), Jason Peters (So) LT - Al Woods (Sr), Joseph Barksdale (So/Jr) RT - Will Blackwell (So), Drake Nevis (So) RE - Sidell Corley (So/Jr), Kentravis Aubrey (So) Some great vets like Woods and Francois along with a host of young hungry run stopping QB killing D-linemen make this a pretty special D-line. They'll probably be another stud DE and DT from the 08 recruiting class playing as true freshman adding even more depth to this otherwise stellar line. We're good thru 2011.
If we get those guys we are set pretty good for a while. It will make the DC job very desirable if Pelini ever decides to become a head coach.
great point Khounda. We should not worry so much when we lose an OC or DC. Look what happened when Fisher left. We upgraded. We no longer have to go out and get the coach, they will come to us. This program is that strong right now.
RJF might not even make it to next year ... much less his senior year ... I haven't heard anyone mention what his current/prospective academic status is ... but ... he was ineligible for the Sugar Bowl
