I was wondering what kind of coach you guys prefer. Of course you want a guy who’s great at both but I when you look at our team. I think Cregg has actually recruited a decent line over the years he just hasn’t been good at developing them. While I look at Raymond and yes he signs his blue chip corners but he also develops his lower tier corners too.

LSU has a great track record of developing players for the next level. And these recruits are looking at it from a next level stand point.

We just tied the record for most players drafted. OLine is also one of the hardest positions to evaluate from a recruiting perspective, unless you stack 5 stars like other certain teams then it works itself out usually.

Evaluating is also a critical step. Bringing in the right kids goes a long ways in who develops.

Developing is overrated. It’s all about the talent and heart of the kid. The development can gain some advantage at the margin, but if you are outrecruiting me I’m not going to develop my way to parity.
