Agree that fans wanting them to stay is not negative, but most (not all) of the better players will leave before exhausting their eligibility (Peterson, Claiborne, etc.).


There is no need to redshirt anymore. Quality players will only be here three years, most likely.

Still, it would be nice for some of your future pro talent to come back. I totally understand why people want a few to return.

The 6 (mistakenly said 7 in earlier post) redshirt juniors all redshirted prior to the new NFL CBA and that is the primary factor in presently making the redshirt process obsolete for the studs (most, but not all will opt for the NFL after 3 yrs), although there will still be players that will benefit from that extra year.

It would be great for most of the 10 early departures to return, but I think it just one of those "perfect storms".

What a monster recruiting class 2009 was. Already 2 1st rounders (Claiborne and Brockers) and a 2nd rounder (R. Randle) with 6 more RSJRs and 2 possible 4th yr. SRs (Shepard and Downs) that may be drafted. Additionally Akeem Hicks was in that class and was also drafted last yr. Barrow next yr?

The possibility of 13 (12 from LSU) being drafted out of a class of 24 signees, damn strong class.
