Cregg was on off the bench this morning
He said they are bringing Shanahan in to compete, to give these guys a push & to have another veteran in the room. He didn’t really mention a position. They lost 5 guys and had to bring in a 4th
Says he’s been talking to him for a few weeks now. He interviewed his position coach, they had moffit call the strength coach. No one said a bad word about him. Thinks his strength numbers will translate. Has a 400+ bench & can clean north of 350lbs.
Says Marlon Martinez & Dumervil have been working out together. Said they might be the hardest working freshmen he’s had
Speaking of Hines, he didn’t sound too confident in him. Said when he came in in 2018 to play, he battled. Said they have to restore that
Then spoke on Rosenthal. Really really talked him up. Works hard, he’s smart. Didn’t really speak to his time away.
I’m listening to Shanahan interview now.

Nothing interesting here
Shanahan has never been to BR. Wanted to use his grad transfer to grow as a player & person.
Asked him his most comfortable position. He dodged the question & just said he can play any where
Never been to the south outside of Florida. Never been to an SEC game. Speaks of Boston College as his highest experience
Economic major

I expect Shanahan have the ability to play anything on the line sans maybe LT. If he cant grab a starting spot, he will be the usual 6th man swiss army knife probably. Sounds like he could challenge for the center spot if there's not a ton of confidence in Hines. More of a learning curve, but he's a smart dude I imagine

Lester Earl,
Hines is a road grader at OG.
At Center, it’s a totally different game for Hines at center and he struggled with the playcalling.
We’ll be fine but I’d rather see Hines back at his natural OG spot and see a more natural Center in there — We have two behind Shanahan!
Shanahan and Evans and Turner give LSU a 3-Deep Center Line-up that’s a winner!
Evans played center at Haynesville (both OL & DL) and is a natural — At 6’1 - 319 he’s perfect at Center with athleticism of a DL
Evans also was the 666th ranked player — Don’t overlook that SUPER DEVIL JUICE
Turner is also a pure Center recruited by Cregg out of IMG Academy FB factory
I think Shanahan competes and gets the nod at Center (just a hunch) and that’s bad news for the SEC with:
4 OGs — Ingram, Hines, Thomas, Bradford
4 OTs —Rosenthal Deculus Wire Dumerville
Nobody is going to get thru a James Cregg OL with that much talent and coaching —
And they’ll have plenty practice with the FOUR DEEP DLs/DEs bombing them in practice
Cregg could be looking at another Joe Moore Award in 2020 — Hell if he don’t win it he’ll be in Top 5 again and that’s good enough for us.
