Or so I was told. If that’s the case, this has to be a record for the most 3rd string players drafted in a single year?

LSU 3rd String Players Drafted:
Ed Ingram - 2nd Round
Cordale Flott - 3rd Round
Ty Davis-Price - 3rd Round
Cade York - 4th Round
Neil Ferrell - 4th Round
Damone Clark - 5th Round
Austin Deculus -6th Round
Chasen Hines - 6th Round

1st/2nd String Players Drafted:
*Derek Stingley - 1st Round
*Andre Anthony - 7th Round

*Out vs. Texas A&M

If LSU was able to get 8 third string players drafted, just imagine what they could have done with their 1st or even 2nd string. I’m thinking minimum 7-5? It’s insane to think a team could have that much depth on their roster. Truly remarkable.

I appreciate what you're trying to do, but your timing just sucks incredibly bad

The time for this post was last preseason, or right after losing to UCLA (or Auburn, etc). Sure, you don't have the number of drafted players yet, but we all knew there was talent.
Very low hanging fruit to say we (LSU) had a complete idiot coaching the team, and cratering the program as best he could. That should have been a Top 10 team, probably should have won 10 games. You knew it, we knew it, etc.

That's why Orgeron got dismissed and Kelly was brought in. Kelly, who's not a young wunderkind, but instead an experienced and proven guy who has been on the big stage, and knows how to maintain a sense of stability and continuity (instead of flashy schemes or exciting ideas).

We don't need to gamble on a coach, we WILL get talent. We need a guy who knows what he is doing, and won't sweat bullets when he faces a ranked team on the road. LSU doesn't need to be inspired to play over their heads, they need to be coached to play to their abilities.
