CBK: “We are thin on the offensive line” = Ruh Roh!?!

he clearly said we have a lot of freshmen coming in, in June or July.. come on man. lol we have some studs coming in! you recruit bro??

3 freshmen who will contribute won’t be here until summer.

Or something to say hoping a kid he wants in the portal is listening.

I thought OL was going to be a position of strength this year given that they’ve had a season to play together and get used to each other and the playbook.

Assuming no injuries, it absolutely should be.

What happened

---

Bradford declared somewhat unexpectedly (it was the late timing more than anything), but more importantly, we had a bunch of upper classmen who had been passed by younger guys and were never gonna play that hit the portal.

I don’t think any of this surprised Kelly and staff, though. We have some freshmen coming in, some guys who missed spring due to injury, and we’ll probably add a couple of transfers from the portal after the spring. I think they went after the top couple of guys previously, but with our top 6 guys coming back and adding Heard, those guys went places they knew they’d start immediately. We’ll probably add some younger guys for depth who have 2-3 years of eligibility left and aren’t looking to definitely start year 1.

We are thin on the offensive line

Every LSU team I’ve ever known

BK likes to go three deep on the oline so if we are two deep with studs we are still thin

Just hang yourself

Thanks

Damn bruh

Do you understand what “thin” means?? It doesn’t mean that our first team O-line won’t be talented and good. It means that we don’t have much experienced depth behind it.

I don't think we're in trouble on the line.

That said, I'm not surprised he's saying we're thin.

Just look at where we are...

That's 16 roster offensive linemen total, of whom three are walkons. So you're really only looking at 13 scholarship offensive linemen.

13 isn't enough. You really want three strings of scholarship linemen.

I don't know how many are in the portal who could help us. It would be worthwhile if we could find two to grab them.
