Regardless of where the pieces fall, the addition of Seaton means we can have genuine open competition at a number of spots. We will be all the better for it.

I get the concern, but play this out...you have your RT in Weston Davis (set aside for a moment whether you like him or not) and presumably your C in Braelin Moore. You also have a handful of guys that I think we all are excited about in incoming freshman Brysten Martinez + Solomon Thomas + Tyler Miller. Those 3 alone could theoretically develop this offseason and complete your line.

But I do think it's likely we'll grab a starter or two + some needed depth. I would think that if we went out and grabbed a proven LT, we should all breathe a little easier.

One consideration is that A&M has now taken Formby and Tyree Adams, which could mean a guy like Jacarrius Peak (who was visiting A&M) might not be in play for them anymore. That's one I hope we get in on.

I would feel much better about our OL outlook if we could nail down an anchor at LT. That would give us an established LT/RT/C (assuming Braelin Moore's deal to return is finalized). I would trust we can fill our G spots.

Was Pickett thinking about leaving?

Never know with these kids but had CR been let go then all bets would have been off.

Agreed. And I can't answer with certainty but I know two things.
1. That's a kid that most teams would love to entice to get in the portal.
2. His dad made mention in a recent interview something to the effect that they would figure things out after the season (perhaps someone remembers where that was). I would suspect that had a lot to do with Coach CR.

Is this an on-field role? If so, it will be curious how Lane ends up structuring his staff. My understanding was that there are only 10 spots for on-field assistants. With the announced signings yesterday, that already makes 5 for offense and no RB coach or OL coach yet announced. Anyone know how the math on all this works?

I believe you because I want to.

Was listening to Moscona on Locked On today and he shared that he believes this is shaping up as an OM/LSU battle with Florida having fallen well behind. He also said that he has spoken with folks who have directly talked to Kiffin and have said that NIL/Rev Share is Kiffin's top priority in this. The reported meeting between the OM AD and Kiffin tomorrow is supposed to entail a new NIL proposal from OM.

It has also been put out there by local and national reporters that LSU is offering NIL commitments of $30Mil+ annually for Kiffin.

What is interesting, however, is that Chris Phillips with SEC Unfiltered is today reporting (supposedly from a trusted LSU source) that OM is preparing an annual $40Mil NIL package in the meeting tomorrow. IF this is the case, I would be surprised to see Kiffin leave OM. Big "IF" however.

ETA: I genuinely don't care if you don't like Moscona. Not asking you to like him. But he's reporting firsthand conversations with the actual people who would know.

I like Blake. He knows ball and he has good inside scoops that he's willing to share. In my opinion he is more forthright than a lot of other guys about what he's hearing.
