New running back coach Frank Wilson spoke to the media on Thursday and said that running back John Emery Jr. will be eligible and ready to play next season.

Emery Jr. was not eligible to play this last season due to academic issues. It would have been his junior season.

How can anyone other than a first semester fresh. Take the wrong class. They have a guide book for all four years classes

This goes to show you just how poorly run the LSU Football Program was. Nobody was doing their job. Academic issues, roster management issues, recruiting issues, on the field coaching issues, off the field coaching issues, and lack of commitment by players. No wonder why Brian Kelly came in and ran off damn near everyone from coaches, strength staff, analysts, the do nothing named Austin Thomas, a just about everyone else. Brian Kelly took over a rotten program and had to scorch the Earth. I am glad he did.

It's like like cleaning out your Grandfather's garage and finding among all his hoarded items, a mint-conditioned 1969 Chevelle SS 396. After pulling off the dusty cover that kept it hidden and in obscurity for decades, its' beauty exposes all the potential that is now at your disposal. Gonna be alright, Tiger fans! Brennan and Emory will produce!

Last chance to do anything at LSU. Nothing short of disappointing so far but you can wash it all away and become a legend in 1 season.

... and this is one of the reasons why CBK signed and will sign out of state 'student'-athletes.

Bk said in his press conference that he will focus heavily on the state first and foremost. Even looking for La kids in the portal that wanted to be tigers. Also, John doesn't have low grades, he didn't fail, he passed the wrong class. What a failure by Coack O and support staff. Your "stident"- Athlete comment was ignorant.

Brennan and Emery have to be ready to play. Brennan seems good mentally. I hope Emery comes in with his head on straight, being a five star means he has the physical gifts.

I feel like he is Thaddeus Moss all over... I forget we have him until his name comes up. As long as his career ends the way Moss' did at LSU, it'll be worth the wait.
