Alabama loses 3 of their 4 starting LBs after this season. There will be plenty of opportunities for playing time.

What's 5 star LB Mack Wilson up to?
Played sparingly. Registered 5 tackles as a true freshman in stacked LB corps.

He's got an accidental receiving TD too.

I mean I guess good on these guys for thinking "frick the guy on my left on right. I'm better than them. I'll start." But you'd think at some point one of these 4 or 5 stars would look around think "awful lot of linebackers in this bitch." I just need one or two bolt and let O feast on the scraps.

A guy like Devota Smith, I can handle losing because we've racked up a bunch of wide receivers these last couple classes. But particularly this year it hurts to lose Moses and/or Allen. LB recruiting has lagged recently. Hate missing out on highly rated guys at a position of need.

We're still trying to perfect the 0-11-0 defense.

Wilson has played FB (caught a TD pass), starts on special teams and has played some on defense. Played in all 12 games.

He had surgery before he came to T-Town and many thought he would RS because of that.

Christian Bell and Adonis Thomas did bolt this year, both 4 stars guys. There's a handful of guys that Pruitt wasn't a fan of, and they were 2 of them.

That might be the reasoning behind the amount this year, Pruitt getting his guys. Pushing out what he doesn't want.

Honestly, teams should really look at the state Alabama for LBs, criminally underrated nationally for producing them...

According to 247, LSU has offered the top two uncommitted LBs in Alabama. They are both 3*s.

I searched assuming Rice was one of the 2, was shocked to see Johnston and Haynes over him.

I don't know how hard they are going after Johnston, but a lot of programs are. And they have a slight in with Thomas being committed from Spanish Fort too...

There's going to be some sad recruits when they realize some of them will be sitting the bench.

I guess no one ever sits the bench at LSU. It's some kind of Cajun magic

You get to talk shite while you're winning.

Your time will come, no team wins forever.
