Everyone talking about Elia Rick's could probably start as a true freshman now. He was gonna start regardless! The only corner that's better than Ricks on the roster is Stingley. And that's saying a lot because LSU is stacked!

To prepare for the NFL? Why not just come out last year? Good luck KV.

It's so amazing to me that the same people who is shiting on Kary Vincent Jr. are the same people who lost their fricking minds when he picked off Jalen Hurts in the Peach Bowl. And please people stop calling him a CB he is a S with ridiculous speed and range, KV5 will definitely be playing on Sundays. Now where he is drafted depends on if he gets an invite to the combines and how he performs once he's there. Good luck kid on your future and succeed in the memory of your Dad and make your LSU family proud. GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!!

Strip him of his scolly and give it to one of the kids from Ohio state, Nebraska or Iowa which are begging to play.

If players opt out, but keep their scholarships and if players from schools / leagues that opt out want to enter the transfer portal; it makes the most sense for the 85 scholarship rule to become a "hybrid" this year - providing more opportunities for those looking to transfer and more safety to the teams that are playing should Covid somehow make its way into the locker room during the season.

We just got a lot younger in the secondary. TYFYS and good luck to Kary

Wow. Judge much? Thank you Kary, for everything you've done for LSU. We'll be pulling for you in the NFL!!!

Has he withdrawn from school?

Changing his whole trajectory in life over a mild flu, sounds reasonable.

emoney1969•49 months

Didn’t his father pass away right before the beginning of last season due to medical conditions? If he wants to opt out before any further harm is caused to his family, that’s his decision. KV thanks for being a Tiger!

shackleford318•49 months

Doesn’t mean he’s not changing his life trajectory.

ExpoTiger•49 months

I will never understand this

BobABooey•49 months

He gets to avoid risking an injury while preparing for the NFL draft? You don’t understand that? He paid his dues to LSU. I thank him for his role in delivering the greatest season in college football history to the fans.

Nikodaemus•49 months

Yeah, why can't he overlook the 150,000 dead people?

RazzleDazzle•49 months

Loser!

TSS4LSU•49 months

So I guess he won’t catch covid now from just life in general? Should players have to give up scholarship money for sitting out voluntarily? They aren’t holding up their side of the deal (and this is different than injury).

YellowShoe•49 months

If he takes online classes he should, just like a journalism student who opts not to travel this semester due to covid or other reasons. Also, why does it bother you that someone has a scholarship when they have earned lot more for their employer than they have received back in value?

The people on her saying he is a sellout and having a negative view of him, are just like the girls who get out of a relationship and talk about how they are a strong independent woman that doesn’t need a man. Just showing how much you hurt to reach out and attack a player for making a personal decision. Go get a life and quit being upset a college kid made a decision for himself.
