re: Dillon Gordon's Appeal Denied - Declares for the Draft

Faaaakn hate the ncaa. How could they not grant him another year ? And take so long to do it ?

Foster Moreau come on down

Normal case of The NCAA dragging A$$ as usual

I think he participated in more games than they usually allow, but it was close.

no, he was ok on that part, what got him was he played in a game during the second half of the season

First of all, the NCAA sucks.

Secondly, I hate it for Dillon. I hope he makes a team, stays healthy, and plays in the NFL for a long time. He's a good kid with a good head on his shoulders, and he gave it all for LSU.

Without Dillon's awesome blocking skills, maybe this will prompt CLM to get the TE more involved in the passing game. Sounds like wishful thinking, but we'll see.

Seriously frick the ncaa. No reason not to give him another year.

Desean Smith is about to eat!

This is fricking bullshite. Ripping a kid from his dreams bc he got injured. frick the ncaa, a bunch of selfish greedy pieces of worthless shite. No respect for doing this to someone, horseshite.

On the personal level, I hate it for Dillon. He gets shafted out of showcasing his abilities on either side of the decision. He doesn't get another year to showcase his skills and he's got no pro-day ahead of the draft. They pretty well boned him. I do appreciate his desire to come play another year for the Tigers though.


On a team standpoint, I'm torn. Obviously, the offense needs to change and develop itself a more functional passing game. If Gordon returns, its easy for Les to stubbornly stick with the status quo when you've got Leonard Fournette and essentially an extra offensive lineman in Gordon. But no matter what changes we see, a Miles team (especially with LF) is still going to run a ton so Gordon's experience and blocking abilities would still be useful.

Best of luck to him in the future.
