He can get hurt whether or not he goes to NFL. He could make NFL minimum and get hurt and be done for good. He may not even make a team or he could be one and done. He should have come back to LSU and increased his draft stock. It is not smart for most players to declare unless they are in the f...

I like the optimism but something is definitely not right. It seems all we know is that Herron went to Texas this past weekend, he enjoyed his visit, he called a press conference, RN made an official visit to LSU, and "sources" are saying Herron has flipped to Texas. Man, I hope not. The second year...

| re: Bama loses more starters than LSU this year - TigerfFaithful on 1/8/13 at 5:56 pm
Much of it has to do with leadership and continuity. Bama kept all of its "starters" they are losing until their senior seasons, while several, if not all of them, could have left last year for the NFL. It gave the underclassmen one more full season of development, maturity and experience.

Good write-up.
I guess you are treating Fanaika (OL) and Avery (WR) as part of last year's class.
I sure hope Cutrer is part of this class. With the talk of Reid likely declaring and Loston gone next year, we could use him.

The reasons for lack of depth in the middle next season are circumstances involving the 2009 and 2010 classes:
2009:
Brockers - great player, but declared for NFL as a RS soph
Downs - graduating; arguably should have redshirted as a true freshman
Davenport - moved to OL
Logan - great pl...
