They have to say something negative probably about everyone, but leaving MVP kind of says it all. If he was holding so often he definitely wouldn't have been named MVP, sounds like just being nitpicky at a small thing.
Also, keep in mind for offensive linemen in these settings everything is working in the favor of the defensive player being 1 on 1s. As a guard in a game you are never just completely one on one with no help/backing from either side, so a little extra "holding" here and there is going to happen because the defensive player has all the advantages.

I guess they give out MVP to the player that holds the most.

Also, he's a guard, where holding to some degree happens just about every play in college football just about , but rarely gets called being in the thick of things vs. 1 on 1 tackles. From what I read, most of his "Holding" came on tackle reps, which I would expect, and means nothing really. He's not a guy you play out in space, he's definitely a guard.
All things considered, taking home MVP tells me nobody is worried about his "holding" really.

Well ya it's nitpicky, Thomas is very good so when looking for areas of improvement stuff like "he might get called for holds" is what they find

I think these 1v1 camp settings are dumb for OL/DL so you don't have to sell me on that. I was just pointing out that people have written about holding & Thomas
I mean if the only thing people are criticizing your OL about is he holds then he's probably pretty damn good. Ya'll gotta quit taking that bait

If its one thing you should have been learned on here is how sensitive the lsu folk are on here. Lol... I like kardell but he needs to work on his hands playing in the sec. Im sure he will get better and be a great o linemen he has too much potential to not be atleast good.

Asking a legit question about why a player dropped is not "taking the bait."

Again, being a guard, could care less if the only critcism after taking home MVP is "held a little bit". Extremely rare for a guard to get called for holding in CFB and it usually happens when they get pushed way back and panic, and we all know that almost never happens to Kardell. It's easy to be nitpicky in 1 on 1 situations that are almost never going to happen in a game.

Surprisingly I didn't see any real bumps from their guys. Several of their guys dropped some though. Not sure about guys they are targeting just current commits.

Bama anti-bump

Pickens with a healthy bump.
Noticed he remained behind Bama lean Clay Webb who was taken behind the woodshed at The Opening.
Gotta maintain that “Alabama always signs the #1 player in the state” mantra alive, I guess.

Was kinda surprised I seen several down arrows on Bama guys and some dropped a bit not just 1/2 spots. Guess they know catching Bama is gunna be hard so they got a start leveraging to keep everybody in the title hunt. haha
