At this point we shouldn’t just take someone to add numbers. We have the numbers, we need a 1 year instant starter. Huntington could be a bust after jumping up in competition that we are then stuck with for two years. Like are we positive he is an upgrade over a guy like Lee?
Adding* : It would be so nice if McKinley comes in able to make some sort of immediate impact. Would handle a lot of issues.

We have 4 scholarships to give, there's no reason to not add 1 or 2 more DT.
Of the 8 scholarship DT we have, 4 of them are true freshmen or Kimo moving from OL to DL. You cant really count on those guys this year. A 5th guy is Shone Washington coming from JUCO as well.
We absolutely need to at least 1 if not 2 more DTs. There's guys out there like Huntington, Terrell Allen and Thomas Gore who have plenty of experience, have played well at least in the past and no reason to not go after them. Especially with the playing time experience they would at least bring in.
The freshman from Oregon last year wouldnt be a bad add too as a 4-star with 4 years remaining.
Again, we have the spots and any of those guys could turn into rotational guys easily.

You aren’t stuck with any player you don’t want in the current timeline.
Transfer portal is a bitch, but the road travels both directions.

I think we need to two best DTs we can find (regardless of how good the are). When you discuss numbers, you have to look at those that can actually compete at the level we play at. Our numbers are very low.

This isn't the right question. We know that Jalen Lee is not good enough. We don't know that about Adin Huntington. He at least gives us a chance.
It's not typically how you want to operate, but the direness of the situation dramatically alters the risk-reward calculus. The risk that you *might* have to dedicate a scholarship to a non-useful player for an extra season is dramatically outweighed by both (a) the reward if he can actually contribute, and (b) the risk of going forward with the group we currently have.
Also, the odds that he spends a second year at LSU if it's clear after one year that he can't hack it at this level are very, very low. Why would he spend his last year of eligibility riding the bench?
