This clearly shows coaching, scheme, and player development are a major factor and something he does incredibly well. Check out CLK's recruiting/portal hauls while at Ole Miss. Their offense was consistently top 10 in the nation.

Star rankings: (hs = high school, p = portal)

2020 hs 3*3*3*3*
2021 hs 4*3*3*3* , p 3*
2022 hs 3*3*, p 2*
2023 hs 3*
2024 hs 3*3*3*, p 3*

He signed 1 (ONE) 4 star in the 5 years he was at OM. All others were 3's and one 2.

I think he will develop the guys we have into studs as well as bring in new talent. Our 2024 O Line was awful and 2 of them are starting in the NFL while 2 others are on NFL rosters. We basically had an NFL O Line playing for LSU and we couldn't run the ball. Complete shite show scheme and player development.

The lack of productivity by the 2024 O-Line despite insane talent proves that the only way to fix our O-Line woes is to send Brad Davis as far away as possible.

His scheme doesn’t require elite o lineman due to spreading the defense out and the use of RPO with a mobile QB.

LK would absolutely take an elite tackle, but he doesn’t need one for his offense to function

really strong indictment against kelly. when we got kelly i thought he always had tough olines and Rb's and could run the football.
