Elam will be missed but Reed and Floyd should have stayed for their senior seasons.

Reed is a good TE and I think he could have put up better numbers with a more stable QB.

Floyd is a physical specimen but I think with another year under Quinn, he would have been a first round lock.

As for next year, I think our defense should be stacked and be just as solid. We played a ton of young talent, especially on the DL.

Our offense is going to struggle again next year. I just don't think Driskel fits in this offense. We don't really have an identity. It was more of a do whats currently working....and that backfired a lot this year. We wore teams down a lot with our running game and pulled away in the second half of games...but thats because we protected the shite out of the ball for 4 quarters. Our offense literally couldn't afford any turnovers to win games.


Is there any chance that any of the guys on the list don't hire agents and can return? If that is the case with any of them, maybe you could notate that in the first post.

Not accepted because he didn't play for yall last year. You aren't losing him from the team because he wasn't currently on the team.

WTF is going on at LSU? Some of these guys seem like they're leaving to be drafted in later rounds.

Ford simply can't increase his stock any more just like Spencer Ware. He was only used to run outside the tackles and he cannot pass block and that's hurts his PT at LSU.

So I guess that's official enough to go ahead and add him to the list? What do you think?

For the RB's its a full backfield. Not gonna get big numbers but they will test well. Plus no reason to put extra miles on your body without getting $$$ for it.

Not sure why that matters. He will be listed as an LSU player in the draft and there was a possibility of him coming back next year before he went full retard, AGAIN.

Oh well, your thread.

This is what happens when you recruit among the top talent in the country and let them contribute early.

I haven't seen anything on him yet. I thought he said he would wait all the way until the 15th.
