LSU head coach Lane Kiffin admitted Monday that he has been torn over the possibility of adding former professional players to the Tigers' roster.
Kiffin said he took the issue directly to LSU's player leadership committee, asking what they wanted to do if the players were ultimately allowed to join the roster.
According to Kiffin, the response was unanimous and emphatic: "If they can help us win, bring them."
The LSU coach said the players understood that the current team has practiced together and worked throughout the offseason, but also recognized that roster competition is part of how things work at the next level.
Kiffin said hearing that response made him "feel a little better" about an issue he had been going back and forth on. For now, LSU will continue to wait for further guidance before determining its next move.
