Let's just say I'm extremely interested in how the OL shakes out next year because it (should) be the year a Sumlin recruit has a starting job. But if we end up with a line of our last four Sherman recruits + the walk-on Lindblade, I think it will speak volumes as to why Anderson was let go.

really early to say but I think we'll see something like
LT - Gennessy, Gustaffson
LG - Eleumonur, Stuckey
C - Matthews, Ledwik
RG - Cheek, Davis
RT - Ifedi, Martin
I don't think pipeline is the issue. That's a lot of talent and you could move them around and be fine (Martin may force Ifedi back inside for instance). We had a lot of talent this year. Anderson's eye for talent isn't bad. And he was a good recruiter. Honestly think BJ did an adequate job on pass blocking but the run blocking was just not well schemed at all. They were missing on fundamentals and it was getting sloppier and sloppier since he came on.
Additionally, it was his job to design the blocking scheme game plan. When Turner was around (and maybe Sherm did it), we had specific blocking schemes targeting opposing defensive weaknesses. LSU ran right at Garrett to mitigate his speed and turn it into a test of physicality. I don't remember us ever creatively attacking teams in that way. We just run the same plays, blocked the same way, and dare someone to beat us. That was fine when the OL was elite and they were executing. But as it deteriorated, it started to become a glaring weakness.
This is why he was let go.
