6-4 285 won’t last long as an OL in the SEC

eddieray•65 months

He doesn’t have to stay at 285. He’s probably 17 yrs old. We recruited 205lb LBs out of high school all the time

mule74•65 months

Lol ... I gained 25 lbs on accident in my first year of college. I’m sure if he tries he can do 30+.

CanebreakCajun•64 months

Dude, he's 18. Ever heard of a strength and conditioning program?

That was actually a thoughtful, genuine post he composed.

"Respect my decision" = "please don't me mean to me"

Guess what? Don't tell a bunch of people you promise one thing, then go back on that promise a year later. You don't get to walk away and expect freedom from criticism.

Contracts aren’t solid until they’re signed, right?

CanebreakCajun•65 months

How many promises have you broken in your life?

LSU615•64 months

Canebrake you have the right to break promises. But people also have the right to give you shite for breaking them.

three star....MEH

Seems to Be LSU's speciality bring in 3 star guards and move them to tackle. We cant seem to get elite guys on the Oline. Frustrating when Clemson, bama , Ohio st get them by the boatload every year.

Chalkywhite84•65 months

Flobserver. He played tackle in high school. He is 6'4 but is thin and moves well

PoLy•65 months

Don’t base everything on stars. Kid has been under the radar. Heading by stars are over rated. Ask Damien Lewis who played for LSU and now plays for Seattle Seahawks.

lsutigermall•65 months

Can’t someone somewhere tell these guys how inappropriate ‘respect my decision’ is?

CanebreakCajun•65 months

Ok kids. The whole respect my decision is not needed. If you want to look elsewhere, just say so. If people don't like it, frick them.
