OL Coaching & blocking techniques never translated to the field…it was terribly obvious over & over.

Maybe keep some of these OL guys who have true work ethic + athleticism. School & work them hard in offseason.

Playing O Line is all about working on technique and fundamentals then knowing the playbook. Group unity is needed so attitude also matters greatly. As long as these athletes are working hard in the strength and conditioning program and pairing that with working hard at practice then any of these guys can become good players

Both lines are physically weak and it is obvious.

If this is true, they have their portal adds lined up.

They all have agents in their ear telling them to get in the portal and use that as leverage. They may be welcome to stay, but the money isn’t big and their agent is telling them they are worth more.

They have to go to get $ and a potential starting role. I am hoping Lane won't tolerate the level of play they generated this year. It was pathetic. They dont deserve to start next year at LSU

Most of this is crap coaching and roster mismanagement. BK and Co. did a horrible job. These guys are victims of a bad program. Most of our guys came out of HS 40 to 70 places higher on the ranking scale than the UH starting OL.. UH OL position rankings are anywhere from 91 to 152. They might have 1 guy that is a ESPN 250. And they played twice as good as we did.

Their OL was much older and mature than our OL. They had RS seniors and juniors.

I do agree that they were better coached, but just looking at HS rankings to determine worth I’d fool’s gold.

I am fairly certain that out of the SEVEN linemen that are entering the portal, LSU would welcome some of them back and those few know that. It is most certainly “up to those few”. They just don’t want to take a cut in NIL money, which is their choice and fair.

There is zero chance LSU has told nearly the entire two deep to kick rocks. They just aren’t vibing with what is being asked of them in order to stay.

Wouldnt you cut players after you have their replacement on the roster?
