Do O Line recruits just not like Cregg?

Who knows

But it needs to change. I imagine we'll see some turnover on offensive staff in the coming weeks and I hope we get some folks that recruit their peckers off on the OL.

Coach Chris needs to take the OL spot.

We just had the offensive line of the year award last year . Makes no sense

But it needs to change

It has to. Meanwhile Bama gets the #1 and #2 OT’s, #1 Center, and #2 Guard. And we have ONE offensive lineman signed. We can’t keep converting defensive linemen to offense and expecting to compete with Bama and UGA. Their O Lines are stacked every year.

You need someone younger who can relate to these kids

Coach Stud has been the Oline coach at OSU for 5 years now and he's getting 5*s

So what’s the common denominator here? None of those guys were the head coach.

short term memory loss

Well it's either he's not a very good evaluator of talent, not a good recruiter or can't develop the talent he has currently.

Ohio is by far the most talent rich state in the big ten footprint and Ohio State gets to cherry pick who they want and the state produces O linemen like Louisiana produces DB’s and WR’s.

Imagine if LSU was in a conference where every team had to come into the state of Louisiana to get the best recruits in that region. They don’t have a Texas and Florida they can easily go into and get the same caliber of player.

Or is O not putting enough emphasis on O-Line recruiting? Offensive Line recruiting has been a major disappointment

Major changes and overhaul needed on the OL recruiting strategy. From evaluation , development and processing those who you whiffed on. You build the team around the OL, not around the skill players. LSU doesn’t have an issue at getting skill players. Saban got LSU rolling by building the team around the OL/DL.

To the people that say, that’s Bama and the program they have rolling...go look at NS recruiting classes at LSU in 2000, 2001, 2002

2001

2002
OG 4 star #8
OT 4 star #22
3 OT 3 star

12 OL in 2 years, all highly rated with LSU not rolling. Nothing matters until you get the OL fixed. You have to recruit at a high rate and develop. You can sign all the high rated skill players you want...LSU doesn’t lack in this department...fix the OL and the rest takes Care of itself.
