Every program has 'em, the guy whose signing we celebrated, whose absence or minimal impact we then fret.

LSU threw the ball to TE's more in the spring game than we have in a looonnnggg time. Could definitely see DeSean getting his fair share of the rock this year.

Yep. Add Chris Black and Reuben Foster to Bama's list also. Time to start earning those scholly's boys.

He could have a monster first half of the season because no one would be expecting LSU to use him.

OJ Howard is a monster. Bama just didn't spread the ball around last year, not his fault

Perfect choice for Bama.
There are actually quite a few choices for Bama because a lot of highly touted recruits get buried on the depth chart.
A couple more just from OJ Howards same recruiting class alone:
Reuben Foster - LB (5* and #6 on 247 composite rankings in 2013 - minimal impact first couple of years)
Robert Foster - WR (5* and #23 on 247 composite rankings in 2013 - minimal impact first couple of years

Robert Foster too. #2 WR in 2012 or 2013 247 Composite and hasn't started a game yet. He tore it up at A Day though.

Somewhat disagree. We did throw the ball his way and he would drop the bitch or get outplayed for the ball. He's not a very good blocker and gets his arse whipped at the LOS alot.

We saw a flash of what he's capable of from his 2013 touchdown catch against LSU, but I can't think of a highlight since then.

WHY IS CHRIS JONES ON THAT LIST AND ROBERT NKEMDASHIAN NOT?!?!?!?!?

Except for that fact.
