Bama in 2nd with 5 defections. Like LSU Bama didn't win the conference either. What does this mean??

What really seems to set LSU apart from a lot of other schools is not only the quantity of players leaving for the NFL, but the quality, or more precisely, the lack of quality. At A&M they are losing 2 first rounders, which is completely understandable, we lose guys who may not even get drafted, and if they do, they are late round picks.

I would like to see more of an effort in convincing these 4 - 7 round picks to stay in school and finish their education. Even if they are lucky enough to make a team for a year or two, that's not going to be enough money for them for the rest of their lives.

It will be interesting to see how LSU and Alabama perform next year. Both teams lose essentially the same amount of players to the draft, and both will be breaking in new quarterbacks.

Honestly, I don't know why the expectations for LSU next year should be any lower than the expectations Alabama fans have for their program.

3 of these definitely made the smart move. The other 3, imo, could have really used another year. But risk of injury, NFL paycheck, I understand it. Wish all of them the best.

That is an extremely loaded class. Most of those guys will be starting very soon on Sundays.

So we have less than last year and every team has more. Got it.

The obvious trend is that the more young NFL talent you have on your team the better you do.
Auburn and Missouri were exceptions but they came out of no where and just had good runs.

The fact that Kentucky, Vandy, Ole Miss, Tenn., Miss State, and Arkansas sent a combined 2 players and averaged 2 SEC wins should speak for itself. You DON'T WANT TO BE IN THAT GROUP. I promise.

With this group of recruits we have coming in (and the core we already have), I think that the main area we have been lacking (leadership) will be a much different story.

Floridas underclass men leaving hurts them more than the underclass men leaving from any of the other schools.

I would say manziel and Evans at aTm and ego/freak leaving are also big loses.
