Considering the number of players who have declared for the NFL draft

We've had some guys lately where if it weren't for their speed and talent would have a hard time getting a job washing cars at a run down gas station.

Since you're talking about 18-22y/o's, 18-22y/o's who work their butts off supporting your school, 18-22y/o's who work far longer hours than most students, 18-22y/o's who risk major injury in doing it, I have to ask how the f*ck you have a clue as to whether they'd "have a hard time getting a job washing cars at a run down gas station?"

Marino scored 15 and Terry Bradshaw scored 16. Not monumental scores. Wonderlic results don't always translate to success.

the wonderlic test has very little, if any, bearing on your draft status unless you're a QB or OL. Even then, it's the least important part of the combine

I would think that would be more on the shoulders of their agents. Mo's low score was due to a learning disability, or so I thought.

•The Cox Communications Academic Center for Student-Athletes at LSU reigns in the top tier nationally of academic centers for university athletes. The state-of-the-art, 52,000 square-foot facility houses a 1,000 seat Internet accessible auditorium, tutorial center, computer lab, 2,800 square-foot resource library, meeting rooms, classrooms, an NCAA CHAMPS/Life Skills Center and a Directed Studies Center.


•Twenty-one LSU student-athletes have won the prestigious NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship award, given annually to 174 student-athletes who excel academically and are in their final year of collegiate competition. In 2010, women's volleyball player Lauren DeGirolamo and track athlete Katelyn Rodrigue became the most recent Tigers to win the award.


•Since 1959, 53 LSU student-athletes have won a total of 65 Academic All-America awards. Voted on by members of the College Sports Information Directors Association (CoSIDA), the Academic All-America honor is the most prestigious a student-athlete can receive

is LSU offering any type of Wonderlic testing help, or study hall type thing? We've had some guys lately where if it weren't for their speed and talent would have a hard time getting a job washing cars at a run down gas station.

First of all - the players that have declared for the draft all have agents now. They've received advances and have expert advice on how to prepare for the combine, which, for many of them will be the most significant event, from a professional and financial standpoint, of their lives - potentially 8 figures are at stake in some cases, so I think little will be left to chance.

I am certain they appreciate your concern, though.

Also the wonderlic is useless. Really dropped Mo in the draft, right?

There is research that, for defensive backs and tight ends, the Wonderlic has an inverse correlation to the player's ability to play the position.

Deadspin Article re: Wonderlic

Didn't PP7 make a 9 or so? It's a poor reflection of our university, so why not take the time to learn some simple math and not bring that kind of negative attention to your school?
