Through all the craziness of the last two days, I'm wondering if anything came out from these guys. Thanks.

Only ones that I know have declared are Hunter, Kwon and J. Collins. Haven't heard about anyone listed, which I hope is good news.

@RabalaisAdv: Miles said he expects Vadal Alexander, Jalen Mills, Jerald Hawkins to stay, not go pro early. #LSU


Boom, I was right about one thing today.

I'm not sure if hunter has hired an agent , but it would sure be good for him to get a year of pass rushing in the new scheme

Unless they're prepared to fight Coach O right now, no one's going any damn where.

That's great news. I wish we could have had either one of Kwon or hunter staying but I'll take it.

Tomorrow is the deadline to declare for the draft IIRC.

I cannot blame Collins, he has been at LSU for four years and may not even start next year, but he would get plenty of playing time. He is coming off a very good year and is rangy for a CB with very good speed. I think he will be a mid round pick.

Hunter has all the measurables and the look, but I think would have benefited from coming back.

I have no idea what Kwon is thinking. He needs a 4-3 team and is light.

The three in question need to comeback as well. I have no idea what the family situations are which will effect decisions good or bad on any of them.

If Alexander (and I'm fully assuming Hawkins) returns, it's a huge "BOOM" at this point.

Vadal was/is our biggest need.

Neither Kwon nor Hunter are ready to leave, but they're more readily replaceable than Vadal.

I think Collins made the right choice. He has an LSU degree, was here for four years, had a great season, etc.

I think Hunter is making a mistake. He will be drafted somewhere in the 50-75th pick in the draft. He'll get a ho hum bonus, but will be drafted high enough that he will have a chance to develop without being cut. However, he gave up the chance to come back, be developed, improve his craft and be a top 30 pick, which would have earned him a significant guaranteed payment, a higher base salary and all of the benefit of the doubt from the team who drafted him.

Kwon. There's no explanation. He must have some family situation or be getting serious bad advice. He will be a third day pick (and could go undrafted). He will make league minimum and have very little guaranteed. He was never going to be a first rounder because of his size but, if he worked with Moffitt to add 10 lbs of muscle, had a productive senior year and perfected his technique with Steele, he could have played his way into being a second day pick, with a real chance to be a guy penciled into a 53 man roster, instead of starting on the bubble. Really bad move.
