Sure it could be a mistake, but his talent has been so underutilized can you blame him? I think 3rd round is about right. He isn't doing it for family reasons or financial reasons because he comes from a middle class family and his family wants him to stay in school and graduate. He is doing it because he doesn't see getting any better opportunities next season under this coaching staff. He just doesn't believe Les anymore.

Dwayne Bowe had almost the same numbers the year he got drafted in the first round. He also ran around a 4.5 40. The difference is that wide receiver class wasn't as talented as this one with Ted Ginn Jr being the featured wideout.

sad to say but is true. i don't know if Les will throw the ball next season either. I can't see him changing his skin, he is a ground pounder and if you are a talented receiver you got to get the reps to show off your ball skills, just hasn't happened cause no confidence in qb ability to throw the ball. All this boils down to the same thread over and over, why not put the passing qb in met or jl and at least vary the play calling when you are totally stuck on offense. It is of course a rhetorical question with no plausible answer.

Name one LSU WR since 2007 that has benefited by coming back for their SR year?

Doucet? No
Toliver? No
LaFell? No
Byrd? No

Hell, our only TE to get drafted under Miles was a blocking TE.

History states that Randle is better of going this year and making his money and getting to his 2nd contract faster than coming back for another year under a Miles coached offense.
