Ryan Perrilloux wasted away and hurt the program most. We could have competed with him for the next 3 seasons.. And his unexpected departure so close to fall causes us to play 2 freshman qbs that eventually lead to many challenges and even changes in miles philosophy

Tyrann was outstanding as a fresh and put the team on his back in 2011! We missed him
In 2012 but that team wasn't winning any ways and he eventually got himself right and I'm so proud of him turning it around in the NFL. He was still like what a 3rd pick?

Colins had a college and pro career right? Cut short by his terrible decisions and injury he couldn't help

That's why I easily say Ryan P! He had Serious college talent and never even got to be a starter at LSU aside from winning the sec championship mvp. He hurt himself and LSU most.

This could Sum up all them. The Diesel got a pro contract with having only played in a few games during his career at LSU. Played a year in Miami and was doing great until he passed by that fateful window. He by far wasted a brighter future than any of them

Cecil was great but I'm coming around to Perriloux now. He was in the perfect position to keep the machine running.

Don't really think he cared. He didn't really set the world on fire at J. state

You are joking rt? One play from TM7 in the uf and or bama game and we are playing notre dame for a bcs title.

Even though we had 23 scholarship players out at one point, that team was good enough to win it all.

He would have been a good fit for crowtons offense. Plus he had started two games already and had been brought in several times in packages before.

I dont know if it would have been enough in 2008, but 2009 we could have def challenged for a title.

all 3 you mentioned wasted their college potential, except Tyrann since he managed to get invited to NY and still have a career in the NFL.

Cecil and Perilloux fricked up even worse, though.
