Gilbert still isn't in the portal so that's the first step... As for LSU, I'm told both sides are still talking and no decision has been made.

To be clear, you believe that addiction, depression, and family issues are things LSU should hold against a player?

Just want to be perfectly clear


You tell us.

It was your fan base making these statements once word got out Arik was considering leaving.

Yep. They used it as a reason to disparage his name.

He never entered it, even though he announced he is. Then he deleted the tweet saying he was entering


Ah! Sounds like he is torn. I can get that. It would be a hard decision to make.

Tbh a lot of LSU fans have given him a ton of shite, but no one knows what’s really going on
That's not an LSU thing. Unfortunately all fan bases have a few that can act like that.

He could really have some problems he’s working through, and hopefully his teammates are there to help him

I don't get the blocking thing. He has told coach o that he wants to get better at blocking and if he wants to play at the next he will have to block



You don't get it because it was completely fabricated by the morons on the rant. The Alabama game was his best game of the season, imo because of his blocking.

Not entirely. Word coming out of High School was that he wanted to be used split out as a hybrid WR/TE and didn't really like to block. We backed off a bit and went after Washington because of that.

It wouldn't be unusual for a kid to get to college and realize he needed to work on some things and change his attitude on things. IF that is what happened then kudos to him for realizing work needed to be done and then taking steps to become better.

And now his own trainer is saying he spoke to him personally and Arik has in fact not entered the portal

Twitter post by AG’s trainer

I just hope he ends up bettering his situation

He's in the portal, he's not in the portal. Every day.

The smoke screens here are pretty

Wherever he ends up I hope he works on the things he needs to work on after talking to more people here about his situation. He definitively needed to take a step back and re-evaluate things in his life.

This is what happens when you get a media frenzy. Everybody wants to scoop everybody else so they jump on any rumor that is floating out there.

He wasn't in the NCAA portal before. 247 had him listed and then deleted it.
