We need more defense than offense right now

I mean we were all pumped that you said LSU had a chance, I was there. But Bama and Auburn have dealt with grades issues that were way worse than this. If he has to go through what Travante Valentine did, that'd be perfectly fine. As people are saying, he may be raw enough to need a RS year anyway. But I was told his problems aren't bad enough to go to JUCO whatsoever, and Bama and Auburn had to know this. I understand Auburn wants to keep room to try and pull off that 3-man haul on defense but a 5* tackle is a take. Period. From his interview it seems the OV got him 100% LSU and he just didn't give it away to the media like some kids do.
