Echols will be a great player once he learns to chop his feet.

It was frustrating seeing him win the block and get leverage intially, but because of bad coaching/technique he couldn’t get to the second level. His balance is the #1 thing holding him back.

I think Echols and Curne will be good down the road, like Heard was this year

Guess teams no longer give OL time to develop

Tells me that Lane already has someone lined up in the portal. These kids are being told to look elsewhere.

I’m sorry but I don’t think any amount of coaching can help Davis, Mubenga or Chester in the SEC. they are just awful and needs to go to a G5 school desperately.

Perhaps I did not agree with the majority of Tiger fans, but was hoping Echols would return. I thought a new line coach would help him.

I realize he could still leave the portal and return to LSU, but I doubt that will happen.

So best of luck to him now, wherever he plays next season.

This happens, when you give 18 year olds money to stand there and holler, "LOOK OUT"

Let them leave or, take what's offered, man up, get coached up and be better for it.

Lot's of maybe's here but the bottom line is he was a part of a group that way underperformed this season. Best of luck Coen

I would've been pretty content with Curne and Echols both starting at Guard next season.


The loss of these two is throwing the baby out with the bath water. I get it that there’s a new sheriff in town, but this guy Wolford doesn’t have the notches on his gun to disappear young talent like these two

I honestly don’t care if we lose everyone but Moore on the line. I’m sure with coaching some of these guys could be good, but I trust Kiffin to make those evaluations. I’m not saying Echols or Curne are dumb, but you have to have a higher IQ for Lanes style of offense. We ran a very basic blocking scheme compared to that of OM. We ran a trick play against W. Kentucky where 4 OLineman line up out wide, but none of them were on the line of scrimmage resulting in a penalty. This was coming out of a timeout.
