Better Know a Newcomer: Badara Traore

Get bigger. Get stronger. It’s the Orgeron path to success. Press conference after press conference. Radio show after radio show. Orgeron sounded the alarms for re-stocking the LSU lines. He knew LSU needed help both long and short term. So he responded by signing nine players in the trenches (4 OL and 5 DL). And if you are looking for what O and staff prioritized when it comes to linemen just look at this:

The staff didn’t target a ton of long term projects that needed to grow into their bodies.
