Reason for all the players opting to leave for the draft/ transfering?

Who has transferred besides Davenport?

u might be right, losing 9 juniors is insane

Why not stay get better and IMPROVE your draft stock mostly in Simon's case.

Guys going pro probably because they think they are good enough to go pro

simon has kids so i think he needs the money. but i think all the others leaving because bad coaching. les miles sucks

The limited guaranteed first round money starting last year has a lot to do with this. You will have to prove before you can get a lucrative contract and these guys are thinking that they might as well prove it in the NFL as a late rounder than staying in college for a better draft status.

Ware and Ford wouldn't get enough carries to improve their status. Defensive players have a really good shot at some good money. Next season looking grim if LM makes no move on the offensive side of the ball and that's the part of the game we'll have to lean on next year. Strap it on tight Tiger fans.

Dumb arse.
They aren't "fleeing" LSU.
They are headed to the NFL b/c that's where their careers are.
None of them , read ZERO, are likely to improve their draft stock enough to offset the reality of the new NFL pay scale, and offset the risk of injury.
Understand that EVERY ELITE program is likely to lose their juniors from here on.
The only ones who won't go are those who have really late round grades, nagging injuries, etc.
LSU , like all other elite programs is playing true freshman because they know as soon as they can, these guys are gone.
This is the new reality of CFB.
Pay attention.

Their sock is hot, too much too loss if they get hurt. Look at Marcus Lattimore, would have beed a 1st rounder without that injury

False, they don't see any chance to improve their draft stock. Not one of those guys leaving could do much more to improve their stock outside of Simon and he needed the money
