A handful of linemen that underperformed leaving is ideal, 9 offensive linemen entering the portal is not ideal in anyway. Replacing starters and now a ton of depth is going to consume a large amount of time and resources that could be spent elsewhere

Can't tell them that, I've tried.

I've realized that this group moves with a one track mind regardless of anything else. No it is not good at all to lose 8-9 OL and think you'd be able to replace it in the portal AND it all works cohesively.

There is a CLEAR reason why most OL don't start until their 3rd year and aren't really good until year four. To get 4 guys like that in the portal is reaching, AND to get enough experienced backup behind them is reaching.

ESPN confirmed he has withdrawn. This is fricking wild. I don't enjoy this model of sports. It's why I gave up following recruiting. Until they are on the field, they are imaginary.

Did he accept less money to come back? He played with horrible leverage but he was athletic.

I find it hard to believe that he entered his name in the portal for 30 minutes then withdrew it just to take less money. LSU likely met his number imo.
