Scottie will indeed be the bell-cow for us.
Thanks man. I'm glad I took my time this off-season; it has really allowed for me to learn this roster and make it truly feel like it is "my team."
I am itching to get back onto the field soon though. I still have quite a few off-season steps I want to get done (namely setting my recruiting board, doing my formation subs, adding more LSU-centric custom stadium sounds, posting the normal season preview stuff, and also putting in some serious practice mode lab time with my new playbooks), but there's no doubt that I am about ready for some game day action!
Thinking down the line, I have a feeling that the Tigers have a date with the Irish in the postseason at some point in this dynasty's future.
Agreed. This class is very under-the-radar but can really set us up for a nice run in a few years. In addition to the guys you've mentioned, no one has brought up the OL help we have gotten. We are set on the offensive line for years to come with the guys we brought in. They all should be solid guys in the mid-to-high 80s range by their senior seasons. I think we all, myself included, can sometimes take real life and video game offensive linemen for granted. Each single guy up front matters so much in a variety of ways.
On the other side of the ball, McNeal I think will be a monster for us. I haven't started messing around yet with my formation subs, but like Mark Richards, I envision him spending time both as an edge rusher as well as a linebacker in coverage. We really have a nice set of defenders on the defensive line and some good, young linebackers with both him and J.J. Brooks, and even freshman Danny Smith turned out to be a little better than expected and could provide some nice depth and special teams play early on. I'm excited to see how all of these guy's careers progress.
Lopaka, same to you brother. Glad to see you back around.
I appreciate the compliments as always. This dynasty has already been a blast and I haven't even played a game yet. I am having a ton of fun merely just doing off-season stuff and world-building. I can't imagine how much greater it is going to feel once we go under the lights in Baton Rouge versus the Seminoles soon!
No doubt, Georgia Tech is a team to keep an eye on. They've assembled quite a few nice classes here as of late and could be a darkhorse team that could contend for a national title within the next two or three seasons, especially if QB Gavin Hoffman turns out as great as advertised. Any time you nab the nation's top QB and WR, you're in pretty good shape.
