"#LSU OT Chidi Okeke has decided to transfer out from the program. He says he's been given his release. No planned landing spot right now."

I think this is kind of a hit, honestly. He was developing well from what I understood. Not a case of getting passed on the depth chart.

Must be homesick or something b/c I thought he would have a great spring and compete for playing time. Oh well.

That vaunted 2015 offensive line recruiting group is looking pretty pedestrian.

Toby Weathersby has been pretty bad in his time playing
Valentine-Okeke didn't pan out, unfortunately.
Maea Teuhema can't play tackle and struggles to do anything beyond run block. Is a beast run blocking, though.
Adrian Magee and George Brown are on milk cartons somewhere

And our best guard playing with one arm. The best five philosophy of Grimes is so fricking stupid, I can't stand it. He really needs to do what the rest of the football world does and slot the best players into the roles they can best be utilized in.

I like Weathersby. Maea's a guard. kinda early still on Magee. but damn it hurts losing 2 OT prospects in Chidi and Brown.

Grimes has been pretty underwhelming.

He probably will be a good LT somewhere else. He is not dead.

Definitely need to start him unless somebody blows socks off in camp. Deculus will prolly be pretty good with a half year experience and conditioning under his belt.

He still has time to develop, and I'm not writing him off, but he's been terrible every time he's been on the field.
