Pease don't mention him on here again. He reads this and loves seeing LSU fans upset.

I think we have decent depth a G, not getting a T hurts.

We could have 2 OL locked up for 2015 by this time tomorrow or just a little while later. Yes, we will have depth issues but hopefully we can keep Hawkins and Vadal here, if not, we'll go after some JUCO guys.

collins, hawkins, pocic and brumfield are all tackles ... plus grimes said all lineman will know and learn multiple positions

For next year. With the possibility of losing more than half of them for the following year. More OL, particularly another OT, was needed this year.

I hate that we have the lack of depth but there are a ton of targets in 2015 that we should have a pretty good chance of landing.

Maea Teuhema
Patrick Vahe
Garrett Thomas
Adrian Magee

Hopefully ND will tank again and we can make a push for Tillery. Also I haven't heard his name anywhere but Javon Patterson is closer to us (literally) than he is to Ole Miss hopefully we can get him also.

fricking CRob.

in 2015 -- you still will have:
pocic at left tackle
boutte at left guard
malone at center
dodd at right guard and
hawkins at right tackle or (brumfield if hawk goes pro)

not counting the 4-5 guys lsu will sign next year

thats a pretty stout oline -- i might add

manky - grimes told him to be prepared to play anywhere on the line and hes big enough to play right tackle for sure

We will have decent depth at Guard. Hopefully we recruit a few juco tackles in 2015.

With maybe one that will be ready to contribute.

lol this is all fan speculation

the point is lsu will have 13 people who committed to play offensive line at the end of the day tomorrow... in the very least.

lets remember we aren't getting paid to coach these kids. we're just guessing where they project. Grimes will coach them up and multiple kids will be able to play multiple positions.

Been saying this. Yet when I say it people say the opposite

Next year will be huge on signing big OL. Looks like we will get a 2015 huge commitment tomorrow.

Not getting Kelly definitely sucks. Optimus Grime gonna do work this year, though.

You're missing the point. As it stands now we'll prettymuch just have Brum and Clapp behind our starters in 2015, and that's if no one goes pro. That's as thin as we've been since I've been keeping up, and is a really big concern. True freshmen should never be counted as depth on the OL. Getting two more guys this class would have gone a long way, but hopefully it pays off next year when Grimes can point to the holes in the depth chart and our starters stay healthy.

Delusional. If we have injuries or anything else could happen we will be in terrible shape. Losing kelly hurts. Luckily we will gain a 2015 5 star tomorrow
