He’s atrocious. D3 talent. He’s just got good size.

Yes they were. That said, offensive line recruiting ratings (more than any other position) are based on:

First, Measurables
Second, Measurables
Third, Measurables
Fourth, Measurables
And finally, Talent

Lagway wants LSU bad if Chambliss is denied. His backup plan is Baylor.

Offensive Line Discussion

Posted by ROPO on 12/28/25 at 1:47 pm
Guys enter the portal for a whole host of reasons. But I have never seen anything like what is going on with our offensive line. Six guys!

Here are some reasons they could be portaling:

1. They have received feedback that they are unlikely to get meaningful playing time under Kiffin. Or, they are self-aware and looking for a new home where they will actually play.

2. They are testing the waters to see if they can get more NIL elsewhere, hoping to use that to leverage LSU for more money.

3. They have a strange loyalty to Brad Davis (or other coaches not retained) and either want out or want Kiffin to know they are upset.

4. They genuinely think they are elite and want to get paid / start elsewhere. (E.g., Lance Heard)

I do not believe any of these guys are in bucket 4. This may have been the worst offensive line of the 21st century. So I’m curious which bucket yall think Adams, Chester, Curne, Echols, Mubenga and Williams are in.
QB evaluations and recruiting have been so hit or miss the last three years I think it’s worth kicking the tires. Other than Arch Manning, every 5 star QB over the 2023/2024 cycle has transferred. They aren’t as good as advertised. And meanwhile plenty of dudes who weren’t as good at the marketing game have real talent - Chambliss, Pavia, Mendoza.
He will go wherever they pay him the most.

This is a brutal schedule, especially September and November.
He’s not a 4 star

He was “rated” a 4 star in high school. And he was overrated. He’s not SEC quality so why bother?

Gotta be honest…I have no interest in watching this offense in the Texas Bowl against Houston. Nothing about that is appealing.


True but having bowl practices that Lane and the new coaches can use to make evaluations (and decisions about portal strategy) is invaluable.

OU goes as Mateer goes. Mateer hasn’t healed and played hurt all season. I’m not sure if the week off will be enough but he was so stupid for rushing back to play Texas instead of getting right.

OT: CFP First Round

The first round of these playoffs are going to be unwatchable and uncompetitive. The only decent game will be watching Miami expose A&M as fraudulent.

ESPN is hating this.

re: Vandy will be in top 12 now ?

Posted by ROPO on 12/6/25 at 3:24 pm to
Vandy has been eliminated

Then don’t agree to the interview.

Who cares? We got our coach. It’s awesome. I’m pumped. But he’s not infallible and he fricked up agreeing to an interview and then bailing.

And guess what? He’s a big boy. He can take criticism. Yall are just being overly sensitive. Just like Ole Miss fans.
I know why he SAID he couldn’t do it.

He could have gotten there. Or they could have done remotely.

He heard rece say they were going to ask him the hard questions and he bailed.

Do you really think he couldn’t get to Atlanta today if he really wanted to? Or set it up via zoom? Cmon.
He is ducking them. Spade is a spade. He agreed to do it then dipped

Well he did back out of the interview after Rece Davis said they were going to ask him fair but tough questions.
Ed O is on the Tulane sideline right now

Well I see a signature on that NLI!
