re: What 2 position does your team need most in this year's class

DE

DT


LB

RB and LB

Defensive line and linebackers.

LSU finna load up on DL and LB.

Probably 6 or 7 DL and 4 or 5 LB.

DL
Commits:
DT 5-star Edwin Alexander
DT/DE 4-star Glen Logan
DE 3-star Andre Anthony
DE 3-star Caleb Roddy

Still after:
DT/DE 5-star Rashaun Gary
DT/DE 5-star Shavar Manuel
DT 5-star Rashard Lawrence
DT 4-star Raekwon Davis
DT 4-star Ross Blacklock
DT 4-star Stephon Taylor [Don't think we're on him much of now though]


LB
Commits:
OLB/MLB 4-star Michael Divinity
OLB/MLB 4-star Erick Fowler
OLB 4-star Rahssan Thornton

Still after:
MLB 5-star Rahshaun Smith
MLB 5-star Ben Davis
OLB 5-star Lynell Wilson
MLB 4-star Dontavious Jackson
OLB 4-star Jeffrey McCullough
OLB 4-star Keion Joyner

We are still on Anthony, if he chooses another school it's because he of the depth chart (no chest). I think we land 3 of the DL you listed (legit shot at the first 3) and only 1 of the LB (Rahshaun smith is the most likely)

DT/DE for Auburn.

We have young players showing promise at every position except those two. It is a black hole

How is that African guy from last year doing? I think last year was his first or second year of football and he was a top 100 recruit. Is he redshirting?

---

He had a vicious break in his leg playing basketball in HS. He is cleared to play but between being raw + rehab we chose to med RS him.


By all accounts he is a physical freak. I've seen him around and he looks like Shawn Oakman from Baylor

No troll, but what's going on with Cowart?

---

No one is sure why but he gained like 35lb before showing up and is listed at 277. He shows flashes but looks like he lost a step and the adjustment to playing superior competition on every play seems like it gets to him.


If he slimmed down to 260-265 for next year, i'd expect him to show some real production

He got lucky with no nerve damage or anything and I guess was a clean break.

It may be to his benefit if there is no lasting damage. The rehab process for a lot of injuries helps build the ancillary that are often neglected. Combine that with the added S&C time and athletically he should come out ahead.

Also he gets a year to straight up acclimate to American college + learn more about football.
