Don’t know the time table of his injury so maybe I’m wrong but my initial impression was that he wouldn’t even be able to play next year.

Win at any cost. Even if it kills the kid.

Honestly, it would be a great story if he came back next year and did amazing. The kid’s body is failing him in this sport of football and you hate to see it because he really is a generational talent.

He really needs to go pro and get paid. I say the same thing about LSU players. At the end of the day, I want what is best for the kids. They put in so much, they deserve a nice paycheck while they can get it.

Plus, for Tua, this is a great situation for him. He can be a mid to late first rounder and go to a much better team. This means, less running for his life with a terrible OLine and better development for the long term.

I saw that he could be cleared for football activities in 6-8 months. He’ll obviously miss spring but should be back for Fall Camp.

That is such a major injury i would be very surprised to see him come back and play college football and risk at least a shot at the nfl.

It’s Tua’s decision if he wants to come back or not

The midget would have him out there in a Hover round. Anything to fetch him a championship.

Man, you really cleared it up for anyone that was confused about that.

He loses his WRs with the exception of Waddle and the OL is not going to be any better. The risk vs reward would not be worth it to move up 10-15 slots in the draft. It would be a gutsy move if he decides to return.

Entire interior OL is back and probably one of the tackles. I don’t see how it’s not going to be better.

I also would think that Ruggs and Smith might come back if Tua does

The press conference isn’t even about the NFL according to BOL. Just making himself available to the media.

tDelusion is strong. Every kid with good character publicly mulls his decision and may even believe it himself.

However, when it comes down to the decision, the money and security wins.

Unfortunately for the kid, he's at best the next Greg Oden (of football obviously). I hope he gets drafted so he gets paid something, but he's just breakable. It's not going to work.

Sure until for the 3rd year in a row he breaks his neck or blows out a knee or hip or shoulder. He's Mr. Glass.
