LSU will honor 18 seniors during Senior Day ceremonies.

If LSU honors Leonard Fournette on Senior day when he isn't a Senior, what kind of message does that send to other juniors who will not be leaving early but gave everything they had to open holes so that LF could bust runs? What's it say to other juniors who will leave early but won't get recognized as a senior when they aren't a senior either, but I suppose not worthy as LF is? NO... Senior Day is to honor Seniors, not Juniors who leave early. This isn't a very difficult concept here. Not everyone gets a trophy

Senior Day is for seniors. It's not "Leaving early for the NFL draft day." a great player but he is not a senior. Senior Day is reserved for the recognition of four year players. (No disrespect to LF7 intended, but he doesn't meet the prerequisites for this honor.)

senior day is more of a day of academic recognition. he has not met that academic level. no recognition. almost insults those that have reached that level.

Why? Long line of juniors before him and they were never honored...I appreciate Key saying this, it shows the amount of respect LF7 has received, but he is not a senior, sorry...

That day is for four year guys. No slight to Fournette but he doesn't qualify.

Nope...senior day for seniors. A reward and honor for those who stuck with the program to the end.

It's not a "last year in college" honor. It's a senior honor.

We did this for Patrick Peterson. That being said, it shouldn't be done for a third year guy unless he's met all academic requirements for graduation.

If Fournette isn't a senior, he doesn't need to be honored as one.

Has LSU done this before for anyone else? If they have not, then they shouldn't start now. Leonard is not the first great LSU player to leave early and won't be the last.

Love LF7 but no. You need to be a senior to be honored as a senior.

No. Same concept as giving out participation trophies. Seniors (4, 5, or 6 year players) earned that right. Stay another year if you want to be called out on Senior night.

Yes. He should. If he's playing at LSU for 2017 season.

I love LF7, but this is senior day, not juniors leaving early day. Good luck to LF7 and I hope he has a great career.

To qualify for being honored at senior day you simply need to be a senior on the team. Sorry but he doesn't qualify. Should we allow the rest of the juniors who might be leaving early to be honored.
