It is a great recruiting tool for some of the top athletes but these NFL analysts coming out and saying this one is first round and this one is third is the real reason for the 9-3...11-2 seasons. Really think what our team looks like this year if we do not lose the juniors from last year.Unless the NFL does something I think this will continue to grow.LF has already been quoted to say "three years at LSU then to the NFL"
Your thoughts????

Why shouldn't the kids be able to follow their dreams as early as possible?

Kids should be able to go to the NFL whenever the NFL wants them, IMO.

I agree, they can't turn down that kind of money but then how can we demand Miles to win championships with this kind of talent leaving early..? Catch 22 I guess...

At least we are recruiting kids good enough to make the jump. Catch 22 indeed.

It's not as if LSU got hammered in their 3 losses this year. In the SEC there is always a very fine line between wins and losses. Hell, there's no better example than Auburn. This is a team that easily could have been a 3-4 loss group. Yet, coupled with being a good team, they had the breaks go their way and damn near won the NC.

If LSU's 3-4 year players in the secondary could have got on the right page at some point in the UGA game, LSU probably wins. 10-2

Terrible decision making by ZM kept a good, but not great OM team in a game which they pulled out at the end. LSU easily could have led at the half and not had to play catch up all game. 11-1

Bama was the only game in which they were clearly the better team. However, the line between LSU and Bama wasn't that great. Just like FSU last night, a well timed fake put changed the game.

When you recruit top level athletes on a year to year basis, you can't be surprised when the NFL wants them ASAP. Likewise, you can't be shocked when those guys go to the NFL ASAP. I would MUCH rather LSU continue to sign big-time athletes that only stay 3 years at LSU, as opposed to less talented guys who stick around 4-5 years.

The best athletes can go three and out. If you want LSU to have the best athletes, then expect more three and outs. It should be a point of pride that we get more guys to the NFL quicker than other teams, and as a result there are more opportunities for talented young players to get on the field and start making a name for themselves early.

College is a vehicle to a better life.
Three years playing football at LSU should do very well to get LF there.

I agree, some of these young men come from terrible backgrounds. But how do we recruit against the sudden talent loss? I cant see them upping the age requirement (21) but how about let us have 90 or 92 players on scholarship?
