Divaad Wilson entering transfer portal

Wonder what he is thinking.

I thought Wilson was very good.

He wasn't good enough to supplant Webb. And the more experience Stevenson got, more time was carved out for him on the field.

The issue is depth.
LSU put us in dime. An injury to a DB can leave you very vulnerable when you have 6 DBs out there. Is it any surprised that Webb and Wilson were picked on more than any other DB last season?

I still feel better about DB than any time the Last 20 years. But at positions like OL and DB where your "starters" can go 5 or 6 deep, we need to be stacked beyond the starters.

Its so crowded back there he wasn't going to get meaningful playing time.

Do you remember Derek Lott?

He left preseason 2012.

Do you think our DE could have used Derek Lott in the SECCG?

Wilson played a bunch last year as a Redshirt Freshman and played pretty dang well. What makes us think he wouldn’t have continued to compete for starting time? He was a solid player for us, and even though our defensive backfield is solid, I don’t know why we think it’s cool to talk unnecessary and inaccurate shite about him on his way out the door.

Looking at the scholarship numbers at CB and STAR, at CB I see Daniel, Stokes, Campbell and Ringo that will likely play in front of him. At STAR, he's got Stevenson and Webb in his way. Without some injuries, his playing time likely goes down. He can transfer home to the U or F(A/I)U and likely be immediately eligible.

then why would he turn his back on us? Why shouldn't we be allowed to feel betrayed,

Why does some 20 year old kid owe you anything?

I think you are just looking for something to be pissed off about today.

Yes, that’s always the way I am

I mean, he’s not Tyrique Stevenson, but I just don’t understand why we act like he sucks or there’s no chance he plays for us going forward instead of just saying he was a decent contributor and wish him well going forward. Who knows what his family situation is back home? He did say he wanted to be back home during this time.

Personally I’ve got nothing against him. Just like I said I think football wise his loss isn’t devastating. He was a decent player but didn’t make many huge plays (yet). He may well do that in the future. I hope he does as long as it’s not against us. But idk why so many claim we bashed him or whatever. No one said he was an untalented bum.

In the past we've had waves of skill position guys to throw at defenses but it might not be such a bad thing to whittle it down to a core of dudes and just get them reps. Provided we can stay healthy there of course.

Kid made a business decision. He saw the competition, and he determined his best prospects were elsewhere.

I hope he's right. He's good enough to start on all but a handful of teams.

This tells me the secondary is going to be every bit as good or better than we thought.

Webb, Cine, Stevenson, Lecounte, Stokes, Campbell, etc.... We are loaded.

Webb, Lecounte, Daniel, Stokes and Campbell will be gone after 2020. We are loaded now, but depth does not look so hot next year. Divaad Wilson would have definitely seen major playing in playing in 2021, but it's water under the bridge now.
