re: Will Ensminger be the OC next season?

Yea we created so many problems for them that they shut us out at home again.

Name some, Power 5 schools only, please

Here is the list of all teams ranked ahead of LSU in total offense that have far less talent on the OLine. (I also left a few off, which probably should have been added).

Memphis
UCF
Houston
Ole Miss
Okie Lite
Utah St
Texas Tech
Mizzou
FAU
Ohio
Arkansas St
Syracuse
North Texas
Boise State
Baylor
Cincy

That's 50 teams, with less talented offensive lines that finished ranked ahead of LSU in total offense. (21 P5 teams included)

I really, really wish this would go away. We should all be cheering on O as LSU fans.

Top 10 this year would be ok

Top 10 is always a good class and much better than "just ok" IMO. If I understand correctly, we definitely won't be moving down and those ahead of us are so because of quantity and not quality. However, I do agree with the not counting chickens before they hatch philosophy. I've been waiting until we get the signed LOI before getting excited for a long, long time.

Anyone that follows recruiting knows that 247 and Rivals will drop player rankings based on who attends their camps. Some guys jump and others fall. Kardell fell on dramatically on one service and dropped to a 4 star, but is the #1 OG in the country. Depending on service we currently have signed the:
#1 CB Stingley(#1 overall recruit by rivals)
#1 OLB Brooks
#1 OG Thomas
#1 RB Emery

We still have 4 spots to fill. The 4 teams in front of us are separated by 7 points (277-284). Only one has a higher ranking average than LSU. The other 4 have more spots filled and ultimately we are talking about minimal separation so what does 3-7 really mean. UGA and Bama OTOH are separated substantially from the rest of the CFB world which leads into another discussion.

With our open spots we had in 2018 we added Burrow, Tracy and Alexander. Does anyone really want to complain about us giving a spot to Tracy and Burrow?

One of our 2019 spots is for Cade York who hit the longest FG in the history of the UA game. His commit brings our rating down. I'm fine with that.

There's plenty to be critical of with the staff, but where some of these posters choose to plant their flag shows a severe lack of deeper analytical processing.

You're an only child, arent you? have you always cried when someone doesn't agree with you?

Quite possibly the most ironic post in this thread and that’s a tough task. Do you have any self awareness at all? All you do is cry about ppl exposing your BS then after I crush you yet again you wait hours then try to sneak a post in addressing it to someone els and talking about me like a little girl gossiping behind someone’s back lol. You are the epitome of pathetic.

Solid, solid melt, my baw.

Here, let me refer you to your own post

This place has gone into the shitter ever since these ppl arrived. Even during the Miles arguments ppl could agree to disagree and it was usually a tit fur tat throwing facts and numbers back and forth at each other. Now with these idiots it’s like talking to screaming children while they’re throwing a fit. They don’t ever discuss football, they go into full meltdown if they’re presented with facts, they start hurling insults derail threads and throw hissy fits at the drop of a hat. They must be very young because adults don’t act the way these ppl do and don’t post more emojis that letters. Cherri0s are fascist in nature and have truly ruined a great discussion board, they try to police speech and thought in literally every thread as well

At this point that’s not really true The only way a recruit brings your rating “down” is if they’re taking a spot that could have been filled by a higher rated player. So unless we are turning away 5 stars for a kicker he still helps our rating to some degree.

---

York is a 2 star even though he's the #2 ranked kicker. We also have the #2 ranked long snapper who is also a 2 star. They drag our rating down, but are essential players.

Now, would I re-assess who I'm giving offers to if I have a shot at a 5 star OT? Of course, but we still need to fill these positions and every few years these players will affect the rating. That's OK though because I'll take a GW FG over a spot or two in rating.

It’s sorta fricked up because a 29 person class will beat a lot of 25 person classes regardless of average talent

---

Yep. Michigan is just ahead of us because they have 27 commits due to backfill. Bama has 28. I put more stock in rating average than overall points, but as I illustrated above that can be skewed based on position of the commit. Kardell is the #1 OG, but is a 4 star. He was a 5 star a few weeks ago though. Center is another spot that gets low ratings as well and we have the IMG OC that's a 3 star. He's too light right now though so the plan is to use him as a blocking TE until he can get his weight up.
