LSU will apparently sign 567 DTs, and yet still employ a 3-4 defense under new DC Aranda.

Not sure where this is coming from, but yes we need DL for a 3-4. We recruited 4 for 2016 class and 1 got moved to TE. We have 2 seniors (1 hurt) and 4 juniors (1 will def. go pro) on the DL this year. Then we have Valentine the lone sophomore (could go pro), then the 3 freshmen. So yeah, we definitely need to bring some folks in. I think the target is 5, potentially 6. Depends on what they do with Moffitt.

NT Shelvin
DE Farrell
DE Thomas
DE Moffitt (But also talking about LB for him)

#1 target is obviously Marvin Wilson who is a hybrid NT/DE similar to Rashard Lawrence. They want Isaiah Buggs for DE from JUCO badly. They are still recruiting Phidarian Mathis, but not sure how actively at the moment.

Ideally I think they want to finish up with Wilson and Buggs, but Mathis comes into play if we miss on one or the other.
