Is he a legit above-average SEC starting OT or does he need to be replaced next year?
I could see Chris Faulk taking over at RT is La'el Collins is ready to go at LT as a frosh.

I think Hurst has played very well. He can also play guard.

I'd say good, above average.

faulk is starting at LT next year, book it
collins will be great, but people forget that faulk was a super prospect also

If Collins is as good as advertised, he will play some.
Hurst is versatile. He can play guard.

yea, i dont doubt that collins will get a lot of PT, and he may start at RT...but big chris will be the LT

Young OL will only get better with time.

no he's good enough to be a solid starter for the rest of his college career

With Barksdale leaving, I really doubt the only returning starting tackle won't hold onto one of the two spots. Also Blackwell will come back giving LSU three returning starters at guard, I don't see too much room for him to move there.

We should be really good next few years.

I love the line of Faulk/Dworaczyk/PJ/Blackwell/Collins or Hurst, and Hurst/Collins/Shaw/Washington backing up..dominate!

They seem to really like Washington according to spring and fall reports. I don't know about Faulk. The times I have seen him play, he looked half a step slow out of his stance in comparison to the other lineman. If he is so good, he should be starting at right tackle with Hurst at right guard where I think he could dominate.

...I have watched Collins. People, the kid has potential, but is no where fricking close nor will he be close to starting next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, fricking quit it.

You're right, bro. The top OT and a top 10 player in his class has no shot at starting next year. You're a moron.

Asking a true freshman to start at left tackle in the SEC is a tall order.

I've liked Hurst since the day he committed. He's always wanted to play here and has worked hard. He's got the want to play well here.

Yes, I agree.
But I never said that I think he should start at LT. I'm a fan of Faulk at LT and Collins at RT with Hurst at G. Plus, what I was trying to say was it is moronic to say he has "no f'ing chance" at starting when he is one of the most highly recruited OT to ever come to LSU.

Faulk blocked two guys on Ford's long TD run.

His ranking is based on potential.
I have been heavily involved in recruiting in NCAA.....I fricking know how to evaluate a player. Is Collins a top recruit? Absolutely. Will he step in as a crab and unseat a successful, seasoned SEC starter? frick no.
Again, I have watched him play and he is no Jeff Byers as many here think he is AT THIS EARLY POINT in his career. Will he excel one day? His POTENTIAL indicates a very good chance. All that being said, he will be redshirted.
moron? jackass, I know a whole helluva lot more about it than you.
