Thoughts on Clapp at center?

I guess I kind of always thought we'd put Pocic there.
Regardless, the general consensus seems to be that we'll have a very good offensive line, but a RS Freshman at center worries me.
What's the word on him (Clapp)? No one else worried about that position?

Should be interesting...

I am worried for whomever has to line up against him. They will find out that while he is the perfect gentleman off the field and represents our university with pride, when the pads go on it is like Jeckyl and Hyde, he gets a little salty!

I thought that Dodd would get the call at center or at least start over Clapp.

Pocic at center was out of pure desperation. He is too tall for the position, I think he plays left tackle his senior year.
Centers are usually 6'2 to 6'5"
Pocic at 6'7 has a tackle frame IMO

Pretty hard to make a case for him one way or the other. None of us have seen him play much. Time will tell. I like to think of his youth as a positive though, and just think he must really be good to be starting for us as a RS freshman

I'm sure Clapp will be tested early in sec play, good thing is you can always swap Pocic back

I think it means we've got some mean mother frickers on the interior line if him and Boutte are both starting. I like this line as much as any since we've had Trai Turner.

All I know is he is one mean sob (Senior Highlights) on a football field.

Clapp is a beast and I'm not worried about him starting at all

His dad was my favorite player when I was a kid. Always visiting with fans after the games.
If the kid is anything like his dad, we have a gem

He must be a boss to get the call over Dodd who looked great last year in limited action (NMST being the most significant). Pocic's size makes him a better play at guard short term and tackle long term.

Every consensus is general. "General consensus" is redundant.
Pocic is the most effective guard I've seen at LSU in many years. His ability to get to the LB level is impressive. He is strong as heck, too, as is Vadal. I bet Fournette will have over a thousand yards over our right side.
Edit for wrong side of the line

Very smart and very nasty

How can you have an opinion on someone when you haven't seen what they are capable of doing on the field yet?

QB's are going to be nervous about receiving balls touch by Clapp.
Posted on 7/31/15 at 6:48 pm to tgerb8
Apparently he's an incredibly smart kid (which is needed at center more than physical ability) and has a big motor. Stupid strong and light on his feet. I think he gets the nod for his smarts though.

(1) By all accounts, Clapp is very smart and is ready to take over the position.
(2) This will give the athletic Pocic a chance to move to LG, where he can be utilized as a pulling guard on certain plays.
Win/Win
