#1 OT in each cycle since 2011 and where they got drafted

2011- Cyrus Kouandjio- 2nd round- 44th overall

2012- DJ Humphries- 1st round- 24th overall

2013- Laremy Tunsil- 1st round- 13th overall

2014- Cam Robinson- 2nd round- 34th overall

2015- Martez Ivey- UDFA

The hit rate on the #1 OT in each cycle is insanely high

I'd like to point out that the school that the OT who was the ONLY one to not only not be a top 100 pick but also went undrafted because he decided in all his wisdom to sign and become a Florida Gaytor. Such a shame

Mario’s overall record tells us exactly who he is and what he’s done
I disagree. Numbers are numbers but there is context to be applied. Mario has been a HC three times. He was at FIU the longest (6 years). Every stop he’s been at has been a complete rebuild. If you adjust his overall record/winning pct (84-76, 52.5%) to power 5 football (Oregon and Miami) he has a 57-19 record with a 75% win pct. Now if we separate the power 5 programs and re-introduce his time at FIU, it is important to understand what FIU’s program has always been, especially at that time. The golden era of the Golden Panthers was with an inexperienced, first time HC in Mario Cristobal.

I’m a Mario supporter as I’ve said on here a bunch of times. I think he is a much better coach than people, especially our fan base, gives him credit for. He has undoubtedly elevated our program in every facet. As a supporter, what I will say is, he needs to take the next step. We all say “we’d be happy consistently winning 10 games and just being competitive” but that’s a load of crap.

He has recruited better than the rest of the conference 3 years in a row now. He needs to take the next step and, at absolutely bare minimum, get to the ACCCG and the playoff. At some point the question of just how much talent he’s going to need to accrue to beat people with inferior talent to him will come in to play. I hope he turns it around just like I’m hoping the success of our baseball team continues and JD remains for the same reasons as Mario.
 
He does look at the stars obviously but he has to know something. I dont think the rankings were as good as they are now when he had LSU pretty stacked before he left to UM. But I did not watch cfb heavy at that time so I dont know I could be wrong. LSU was about to turn into what Bama was but he left, and they have an operation over there that he left still till this day. Even goofy *** Brian Kelly can recruit there and they were complete hot dog water before Saban got there
#1 you trippin if you think LSU was gonna be anything like bama turned into at that time. Bama became a dynasty. LSU didn't have none of that goin on.

#2 what was established at LSU that's still there to this day is a good ole boys network. It's a church & it's followers ala righteous gemstones throwing absurd amounts of bread at anyone they want.
We might just be talking about different points. I'm not saying he couldn't recruit at a high level. Obviously they did. But when you talk about evaluations & what made Butch so strong is he didn't care about rankings. He's not known because he signed all the can't miss prospects,the 5 stars etc. Evaluations come into effect when you get those undervalued 3 star kids that didn't have offers like that. You turn those dudes into what builds your program. That's what Butch did with us. Saban never did that. He took kids everyone wanted and since they were all like that he either hit or missed and no one cared about the misses cause he had depth just like them.

very kind of you to leave off 2010's #1 Tackle... eventual 7th rounder Seantrel Henderson
 
Do yall boys think the light turns on for Samson, if he keeps grinding he could start at one of the tackle spots next year and the season after

I do. He had a whole year + spring wiped out from a knee inury. He was always going take a year or two to develop but that just set him back even more. I've got high hopes for a swing tackle role this year and starting next year.

I thought this was Clemson. Isn’t LSU a Children’s hospital?

There is one in Manhattan.
I didn't even notice. Guess I just never come across it. But for me they'll only be one dinosaur. Is the one in Manhattan good? If so I'll go check it out. Used to like the one in Syracuse. We'd go for a team dinner every time we were in Syracuse. Then we'd go to bars in armory square i think it was called. Literally all there was to do

Yep, Armory Square. I’ve spent a lot of time at Benjamin’s up there in Armory square. SU had SOME talent for sure.

As for Dinosaur…
I can’t emphasize enough, TRASH. Anyone who thinks that is good quality bbq would pass out and faint if I took them to some places in Texas. It is not even the same universe.
 
The problem is always you guys don't distinguish the value of coaches coordinators and schemes. We either decide they're not relevant and talent is all that matters. Or all of the blame is placed on coaching. You'd figure people would have learned enough by now to realize it has to be a mesh. You don't recruit recruit a certain skill set one year than replace that coordinator one or two years in then again another year or two after that and think everybody will achieve that same development trajectory. We went from Rick's who is trying to run a pro set and had relatively good talent in place for it on every perspective except the offensive line. As a result of offensive line being trash Malik rozier became a record-setting quarterback Mike Harley became a reception's leader our running game never developed as we know my nephew was one of those receivers and I'm not going to try and defend him right now. Those rooms were destroyed before they got the ability to blossom. You can't go from Rick's and his pro set to Enos and his jokes to lashlee all within 3 years and assume you'll see what those kids should be. If we would have got wrecked five years before we did it would have been a very different conversation. Myself I love CMR not only for the man that he is as he is truly an amazing person but also the things he's done for this university and my family itself. I wish you guys would have got the same ability to see him and his vision for what it could have and should have been. Custom confuse his results with the joke that is Mandy Diaz is a travesty itself
Under CMR was the first time in a decade plus i felt like we were run by a professional who knew what he was doing and how to get the results… unfortunately he got sick and it fell apart after 17 but man it felt like we were going to turn a corner and get it rolling again with at least 10 games being the standard again.

Comparing any BBQ outside of Texas to Texas BBQ just isn’t fair. Im not defending Dinosaur - never had it - but those Texas boys know wtf they’re doing.

Yea definitely was a project initially but thing that gives me hope is he stuck it out and didn't leave, just grinding and taking coaching everyday
 
He had some good hidden gems, not like Butch though, Butch is the best cause the services weren't as accurate as now (even though they f up now as well) and he did that at that time is the most impressive roster in the history of the sport till this day.

CIS is allergic to context, everything has to be black and white
