re: Lets take a closer look at the facts on our OL recruiting the last 4-5 years

people are missing the forest because of the trees. lsu has AT LEAST as much talent, on paper, as bama and uga but the results are COMPLETELY different. why? coaching.

you can't nitpick about a player playing out of position and then also say that recruiting rankings for position are not always accurate. if the latter is true, it means bama and uga are dealing with the same conditions as lsu; i.e. when the kid gets on campus, we have to find out how good he actually is and where he will actually play. bama and uga are making it work at a high level. lsu is not. lsu has had players move positions on the ol before and turn out fantastic. same for bama, et al. that's not happening now.

if you want to complain about how we got here, that's on the coaches too. there's no way around it.

and then there's the eyeball test - if you can't tell that the linemen are confused and not physical, then you're just being stubborn.

this team does not look good in all 3 phases of the game against subpar competition. the last 3 years i was no miles fan but, at least his teams could "turn it on" midway through the 4th quarter. we don't even have that now.
