Looking at how the class has formed, would you want Slade Bolden?

No, Provens is better

this class has no need of Bolden. It has a need of Surtain and another wr.

I think Orgeron realized something that has been costing LSU for the last five years. Bolden or Provens hardly matters. The winner will be the one whose line dominates.

where did this myth that Les didn't recruit OL or DL come from?

*ETA: and yeah Bama has had better lines than us, but they're loaded with 4 and 5 star players, not 3 stars

Doesn’t matter what stars they are loaded with, it’s the fact that they had depth. We now have depth.

this isn't a myth. you are being over simplistic. surely you remember some of his bad lines ('08) was awful. but in miles last few years, all he recruited were road graders to support his offensive philosophy on run, run, run. his scheme was so predictable that last year LSU faced a 3rd and 1 against Wisconsin. he ran Leonard fricking Fournette TWICE and didn't pick up that yard. that was a defining moment for me; and the last two bama games where he ran the same running plays the whole fricking game.

so it is no myth that Orgeron inherited a substandard OL, in spite of Miles having some good lines over his past. and he only inherited a decent DL because Orgeron himself had recruited the good ones. the one's Miles recruited with Chavis were substandard. if you disagree with that, we have nothing to talk about. EVERY fricking team we played ran right up the gut against us. our DL and LB's were just not good enough.

Yeah, we’ve had better skill people than Bama, but they keep beating us.

This is coming to be accepted as fact around here, and I'm not at all sure it's true.

Slade Bolden is the Louisiana Gatorade Player of Year, but LSU goes for a kid from Alabama that weighs 180lbs and was not recruited hard by Bama or Auburn?

Bolden had an offer

I don't even see him staying at Bama more than 2 years.

This is the unequivocal answer.

Unless he plans on sitting the bench until his senior year.

If Cameron Sims couldn't get on the field there is no way in hell he will. Kid may play some slot on third downs possibly in certain situations.

He is setting himself up for ultimate disappointment as is his family guiding him.

Tech always takes others sloppy seconds so he will likely end up there like Paul Turner.
