Why don't you take a bit of your own advice and take a break, head somewhere that is ok with rape apologist pieces of shit. I've heard the sweet release of death is good for that. Try that out.  IDGAF, but if you continue to be a piece of shit on this board,   I'll continue to neg you for being one.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You claim someone who makes $5m should be able to make these decisions and shelter these types of kids. A man who was paid upwards of $6m no more than 150 miles from UT’s campus utterly failed at that within this decade. 

People get a little emotional about this because you’re advocating for (alleged) rapists to represent the university they love in the most public facing avenue it has, dumbass

I think his floor is RT. I'm advocate for anything and everything that keeps Kersetter inside. 

JUCO OL are NEVER ready to play right away. I assume he has four years to play three or three to play two? 

BON (so not the most reliable source) says two to play two, even though he's apparently never played a snap for his JUCO. No fucking clue.

EDIT: But then they link to his hudl from this year IN THE ARTICLE.

I think he's polished enough he could play early, but Herman is adamant about redshirting freshman linemen. 

I hope they bring in a grad transfer OT, but it'll probably be a Okafor/Angilau battle.

I guess the staff hopes he'll contribute next year, but he'd be the exception to the rule. RT makes me a little nervous next season. Kersetter could always move back, but we don't have anything inside that would inspire confidence.

I think they will bring in a grad transfer, but I don't think we will find as sure of a thing as we had this year. This means the spot is going to be a battle in 2019. The loser of Okafor and the GT will move inside or Cosmi will move to the left side and Okafor or a JUCO will take the right. I think Angilau will start off inside and I don't think Moore will be ready in 2019.

Anyway.

Tyler Johnson is the type of guy Bama recruits then rolls out in 2.5-3 years with some games under their belts (but not starts) ready to take over as a redshirt junior. Very exciting film.

I believe Cosmi moving to LT next season is all but a done deal. 

The early returns on Moore haven't been great. I still think he beats Christian Jones on to the field, but Jones appears to have much higher upside. 

I've read the staff is trying Angilau at RT. I think he's just long enough and he's a really good run blocker. 

Okafor better win the RT job as a fourth year junior or he's either a bust or the next Gaskamp Winner.

When we start playing Redshirt Sophomores, our OL will be where we all want it. This is the 1st coaching staff I trust to evaluate OL, last years class is creating great expectations.

The grad transfer market on OTs is probably going to be the most competitive position.

[HtownHorn 14486]

So we are looking at a OL class of Johnson, Shepherd(maybe), Cunningham, and the late bloomer Hookfin. Not bad in a down year in the state, especially with the 2020 class looking to be a epic haul if we hit on our 1st level of offers.

Where are the negative reports on Moore coming from?  That kid is the prototypical starter kit for an elite LT after 2-3 years in a college strength program.

Really top heavy year in state with Johnson, Shepherd, and Green at the top. It's probably slowly dawn on Jimbo that Green is a guard, probably explains why they're working on Shepherd so hard. 

2020 and 2021 should be really good in state OL cycles. I doubt Herman would reach in 2019, so we should have plenty of spots for future classes.

I have not once advocated against holding a recruit accountable for their actions when they get here. Not once advocated for Baylor's cover up of rape.

I haven't seen any posts(nobody can keep up with this thread) indicating Brooks has an assault against women issue. You all keep beating around the bush without saying a thing and LSU boards claim embellishments. As far as I knew, he was just a character concern.

Carry on. What a waste of time.

I understand not being able to keep up with the thread, but we’ve explicitly covered the Brooks rumors multiple times on this thread, including an argument that you’re now repeating within 10 pages and 5 days of this post. This isn’t a Robert Timmons situation and telling us what LSU posters think from a risk tolerance perspective isn’t helpful.

Grandy and Angilau were thought to contribute right away.

Moore and Jones were always going to be projects.

Ghirmai we wanted to redshirt but looked like he might have to play early, especially after Grandy retired.

Removing DBs/WRs (since those positions seem to allow for early playing time more than those closer to the ball) and P/Ks from the equation (redshirting kickers is pretty unnecessary) the fact that we’ve only played 2 other true freshmen (Ossai and Ingram) from the QB, OL, RB, TE, DL, or LB is pretty amazing from where we were just a year ago especially when you consider that Okafor may be getting a redshirt this year too (only played in 1 game so far) and that’s with losing 2 starters on the OL (1 to the NFL) and a DT and LB to the NFL as well.

Any of you idiots that want this kid, when we have a locker room full of Caden Sterns, BJ Fosters, etc. are idiots and know nothing about what Herman is building.  CTJ is right and rightly so.

[billfromlaketravis 11359]

I think if the coaches have their druthers our starting OL next season would look like this (left to right): Cosmi, Imade, Shack, Kerstetter, Okafor. 

Shack will continue to get the benefit of the doubt because of his “leadership”. But hey, at least no more Vahe, right? 

Imade would be playing this season if he wasn’t plugged by a pretty decent E-Rod. 

Hand paid way too much attention to Okafor in 2018 Fall Camp to not give him every chance to win the RT job in 2019. The junior redshirt is likely another nod to bigger, future plans as well. 

The JUCO is far from being a reach and looks like another excellent evaluation.

Yes. I’m not sure if he’s a slam dunk though. It’s early, but Hand thought enough of him to evaluate in person and later offer. 

Per IT, Cunningham is a little bit older (21) and has two years to play two. He’s already used his redshirt. 

So yeah, he better be an immediate impact player.

Any playing time for Hudson is found money at this point.

[closetojumping 62239]

I’ve heard nothing but raves about the OLs taken in the 2018 cycle. They’re not expecting to need Moore for 2 more years and they expect competition to keep stacking up around the OL, but they like where he’s at compared to their expectations. billfromlaketravis’s take that there is some sort of concern about Moore feels a lot like bullshit, but hey, it’s the Internet.

Shack gets a lot of shit here, some deserved and a lot undeserved. He’s snapping the ball much more consistently this season, but he still has mental lapses here and there.

I really think the coaches like him because a. he’s smart and can make his calls and b. he has a nasty attitude on the field ala Kasey Studdard. You need a guy or two who wants to rip the face off the guy across from him. 

[pacman 7329]

Shack's only problem is he didn't get the benefit of a redshirt to work on his weakness, strength. His health has suffered as a result.

To keep this 2019, do we have any center prospects/targets?
