35 Cornerbacks drafted. None named Elias ‘Eli’ Ricks. Saban effect.

Saban and gumpland really groomed him for the next level. Nothing but an XFL prospect.

Fact. Any player who defiles LSU with acts of treason and disrespect will inevitably pay a huge price. Look at the track records of those who left LSU for "greener pastures". Very few improved their prospects and most fell off the cliff.

Thank goodness he told LSU to frick OFF!! We probably don't score the go ahead TD in OT if another corner is out there for bama.

I guess whoever leaves LSU is dead to their fanbase forever. I wonder if any other fanbase is actively rooting against a guy succeeding at the next level just for transferring and wearing a crimson jersey for a few months.

What a miserable bunch.

Wasn’t Saban’s fault the guy was lazy and didn’t give a shite. There’s a reason he didn’t start until later in the season. Can’t blame Saban for poaching him from LSU even if he shite the bed there

exactly idk why so many lsu fans are still worried over this kid. He wasn’t even that damn good. Probably addition by subtraction for you guys.

Levi Wallace went undrafted in 2018 and played 4 seasons at starting corner for Buffalo. He's currently signed with Pittsburgh.

It sounds like no one on this board with an LSU logo by their name wants a similar outcome for Ricks. Pretty sad really.

did you want Cam Newton to succeed? Go kill some trees instead of lecturing us.

I don't know who this kid is but have seen several threads about his not getting drafted. Why would anyone have so much glee seeing a kid not live out his dreams? Is it because he left early? Y'all are just friggin brutal.

We wish him no harm. It's just a given. Treason against LSU will cost a man something. Ricks' cost was not getting drafted. His cost is it won't be as easy nor as lucrative as it could've been. It's the price that must be paid. Just reaping what he sowed.

Talented kid. Ultimately hope he finds his place in the league at some point.

Forever LSU

Didn't he sign with Philly?

He's in the NFL where's your shitty life at Tagging Gators?

I have always been of the opinion that if a kid wanted to transfer then he didn't want to be at your school and your team is better off without him. Oh well. That's just me. Transfer portal and NIL is going to cause a lot of stomach pain for fans that get so upset with kids leaving.
