Could you imagine being a RB prospect with these two coming in for the right side of your line?

Can you imagine being an SEC defensive lineman and having to hear "I OWN YOU" and "I had to destroy you so I could go kill someone else" from these guys all damn game?

I am Not saying his guy isn’t a college tackle.

I think The Les Miles plays guards at tackle myth is bullshite not bradford’s Projection to play tackle.

Kardell is almost already my favorite LSU recruit of all time

yeah, no argument. Maybe I need to rephrase...

Instead of "need to convert" I needed to say "could easily convert". My thinking is/was, in making that statement:
A) OT is more of a money position, and Kardell COULD do it, easitly
B) and if we needed OT

So barring a need by us, or a want by Kardell... OG it is. I think he could be a great OT, and will be a great OG. Truly interchangeable (except for the length/wingspan- only drawback).

People bitched and bitched and bitched that Les only recruited guards and converted them to tackles and, what would you know, it looks like this is going to be a similar situation.

To be fair, what we tell kids they "project" as in college is pretty meaningless.

We told Devin White he could try running back too. Sometimes they just see the writing on the wall for playing time and/or future earnings and success.

Right, but that doesn't really seem like that's the case here. He's saying they project him at tackle because Kardell is coming as well, not because they are telling him what he wants to hear. From the article it doesn't sound like the kid has a desire to play tackle over guard.

He is the fourth O-line commit. If they can get Kenyon Green that will probably be it for the class


If Parker wants in, you don’t pass on him.

Why don’t you use your reading comprehension on this quote From the article you posted

Are tackles interior linemen?

Also my main point was that this guy looks like pretty much everyone whose played RT for Les Miles. Meanwhile you keep saying Les recruited guards to play tackle.

If this really bothers you that much start another thread about it.

This thread is not about YOU or Les Miles.

It is about the 4-star road-grader that just committed to LSU.

At least we have Parker in state this year. Bigtime LT potential.

But yes, every program in the country save 2-3 (Bama, Notre Dame, not really anyone else) has trouble finding offensive tackles. LSU isn't one of those 2-3. Most of them that go pro are less than 270 lbs in high school and often not highly rated.

My point isn’t about me.

It’s about recruiting and Right Tackles.
