o reply to the Dawg fan claiming LSU fans are clamoring a 4-3 defense some places and a 3-4 in others is unfortunately correct.

We landed a couple of stud LB's advertising a 3-4 and seem to be going after kids that want to play in a 4-3 as well.

Don't misunderstand what I am saying. I have noticed this. I think most, if not all programs do that to an extent. I am just surprised at the number of LSU fans calling people stupid for not putting LSU as in the top 2. I DO think LSU is in the mix. (You'd have to be ill-informed to count LSU out of any recruiting battle.) I just think the top 2 at this point is Michigan and Auburn.

Truth be told absolutely none of them know what we will be running because the coach doesn't absolutely know yet until all the recruits have landed so he can make an informed decision based on the talent we have until then.

Absolutely. A good coach tailors the defense...and offense around the talen he has.

Malzahn does this well with his offense, and Richt has done the same with HIS offense. I think Miles is going to a run heavy offense too, because of the QB situation. Now, if the QB's at all schools prove to be good, you will see a more even mix of run/pass.

The same can be said about defense. If a team has several strong classes of DE/DT you'll see them go to a heavier mix of 4-3. A LOT of strong LB's and the 3-4 becomes more prominent.

Until then, we will just go for the best players, and it's not a stretch to tell them we will be running the one that they covet, for if they come it just might make it happen

Assuming you are a coach (Your username) you understand what I am talking about. You play to your strengths and your roster as much as you can.
