I might get blasted for this...but it might better if both just leave. They both should stay but considering how overrated they have been it might be better for the young guys to get more PT to develop earlier. Might be worth it to have growing pains there. I have my doubts either one of them will show big improvement next year. Then again, looking at DT depth it ain't exactly pretty right now. Pretty sure Gilmore/Bain aren't going to be ready next year. Don't know what Mickey Johnson is doing lately but obviously not much.

If they are not ready next year, LSU is in deep sh*t.

Freak has been playing on a bum knee since week one of the season. The rest of this post is my opinion, but there's a chance he has it repaired after the season and skips the draft. We need him next year, and in our system of rotating DTs he wouldn't be holding anyone else's development up substantially. With Ego I think he's been picking up Freak's slack more than anything, and it'll all depend on his draft grade. I would go apeshit if neither declares.

I actually thought the same. Both should come back, and Ego has played better of the two no doubt, but it could be possible that they just may not turn out how we thought they would regardless of another year. Hopefully guys like Bain, lacouture, and Gilmore take major strides going into their sophomore year along with a few incoming freshman.
