And while A&M and LSU return a lot of lettermen, they return about as little actual production as anyone in the country. So the gap between us and South Carolina and the rest of the conference is actually even bigger.

[Coach34]

as I said repeatedly when everybody was going nuts in October- we had a young team in 2013. Everybody talked about OM being young-yet they only return the 72nd most letterman.

Everyone says the beavers are "young" because they base there opinion on a single signing class. A signing class that's lost a handful of 4 star players. I'll be ready when this shit cranks up and the posers are exposed.
