You say that but yet we are recruiting many 5 Star players which means we will still have the players, just need the coaching to step up. A lot of players look bad when they switch DC's, especially when they run completely different sets and schemes.
LSU lost 4 of it's 5 starters on O-line, the #1 WR in the country and Jefferson, 3 very good LB's, Rashard Lawrence, & Delpit, plus the players that opted out because of Covid (Kary Vincent, Tyler Shelvin, and Neil Ferrell). That is a lot of players with experience and talent being replaced by true Freshmen or Sophmores. LSU's WR's have played well and so have the RB's, the O-line has been horrendous though. On the Defense, going from a 3-4/3-3 to a true 4-3 seems to have completely messed up everyone. Not to mention everyone in the secondary outside of Stingley and Ricks look like garbage. Flott and the other dime back look like they never played the CB before.
