re: Nations #1 recruit Rashan Gary sets 5 day visit to Auburn

LSU really set itself back with poor LB recruiting under Chavez and also attrition of the big DL guys who could have made LSU a legit 3/4 defense. But I would expect LSU continues to run an aggressive 4/3 defense with heavy reliance on nickel and dime packages because we have the best db depth in the country. I expect more blitz packages and unconventional rushing lanes by the DL on obvious passing downs.

Most importantly, LSU should be a REALLY fast defense with the best pair of DL's and the fastest linebackers we have had in years. With Orgeron and Steele there I expect us to get our swag back and sign quality and quantity on the front seven in a way we really haven't in several years.

There is no need to apologize for being optimistic about the future of the program. If people are annoyed that the very top-tier recruits are buying in again to LSU now that we have this new infusion of ENERGY , so be it. If Gary came to Baton Rouge it would make a lot of sense for him.
