Which makes good sense. I know KB52 may want to see what's going on. As well as CL91.
I can understand Beckwith, but LaCouture? I just never thought he would even be thinking of leaving this year, nor Neal.
Neal had an all American type 1st half of year production (30 TKLs, 7.0 sck, 7.5 TFL, 6 QB hurries, FF, 2 PBUs) , but then fell off the map the 2nd half (18 TKLs, 1.0 sck, 2.0 TFL, 2 QB hurries, 4 PBUs).
Neal is very undersized with one year of production and LaCouture is not an elite athlete nor is he a force as a hole plugger (he's alright though). Maybe it's just curiosity from both of these guys.

He sprained his ankle in the Alabama game and played on it the rest of the year.

I still wonder how in the world Lacouture olays in from of guys like Herron. CL91 is the most average player on our defense. So if he declares, bad mover for him, as he will be a potentially undrafted player. The guy has made like 2 plays in 3 years. Meanwhile, Herron gets off of the ball so quickly, half of the time you'd bet money that he was offsides.
Hopefully Aranda sees this himself as he studies his players. I really just don't get this CL91 love. The dude is average, at best. Yet he is defended by ranters as if he is the main strength of our D-Line.

Perfect example of how things have changed in the last generation or so. Young elite athletes today have been assuming they'll be pros since they were in the 8th grade, so by the time they get to college, they literally feel as if they're journey to the NFL has taken a lifetime. Not long ago, with some rare exceptions, really outstanding athletes with pro potential looked at maximizing the college experience BECAUSE it prepares them for the next level. Early-entry rules and rookie wage-scale changes have had a tremendous impact here too, obviously.
Having said that, if a team with our talent could roll onto the field next year with experience and leadership in every position group at the same time, with guys fully at the top of their potential at this level, that could be a pretty important factor in how the season goes.
