re: OL Jamarcus Hardwick

You don't think Barksdale will be moved to LT next year?

LT Joseph Barksdale
LG Josh Dworaczyk/Spencer/Lowe
C. T. Bob Hebert
RG Will Blackwell
RT Greg Shaw

I could see Clay Spencer, Chris Faulk or Stavion Lowe competeing with Hardwick for a spot on the line.

Barksdale could definitely make the move over the LT...especially if the coaches want to prepare him for the NFL and potential big money. I think he is good enough to make the switch, but will they switch him over so late in his career after being productive on the right side of the line? Only time will tell.

You have to remember that Hardwick has a couple years of experience on the incoming 2009 guys. He has a bigger frame than those guys, more experience against better competition, and only has 3 years to play 2...normally if LSU is willing to use a JUCO scholarship, they are able to step right in and play. Hence, I think he will jump all the freshman you listed on the depth chart.

This guy will find his way on the field. I have only heard positives about his play. I think he would get on the field before W. Blackwell at either LG/RG.
