re: Why does Louisiana in general struggle to produce good OL?

It’s uncanny how few quality OL come from La but it shouldn’t matter.
Bama gets 3-4 a year and they’re not all from Alabama. They have 4 this year and not one from Alabama.
We can sign all the peripheral guys in the world but the game is won mostly in the trenches. Building from the line out has been a consistently good winning formula

Look at Bamas all time history on 247. Half of the top 10 were offensive linemen. Should tell you something.

That’s the truth, does in the Midwest are bigger than bucks in south LA.

To be a good O lineman, you can't just be big and athletic, you have to have brains too.

CHS head coach is good friends with their OL coach.
They got on him before LSU...
It's still early -- he's a '22 so we have time

We are a small, athletic build of people.

strength and speed are key on both sides of the line

what? I’m extremely average @ 6’...Posted on 12/17/20 at 2:48 pm to SlowFlowPro
Yeah one might argue that our athletes are better because the OL’s are weak.

more French, Spanish and English settlers than German and eastern European, great for the cuisine, not so much for Oline.

Add Italian in there, also not the great big peeps, and you have the answer.
