Is it?

He's been at LSU 4 years and you can still count on one hand the amount of big plays he's made. Yes, the natural ability is there. And he's good for an exciting flash of greatness or two here and there. But nothing in his 4 year career has shown he is a reliable playmaker.

Everybody would. But after 4 years I don't think many are expecting that to actually happen. Right now he is on pace to join Russell Shepard and Myles Brennan in the LSU ring of honor. Guys who annually had a ton of preseason hype among the fanbase, but had very little actual production to justify it.

Needs to hold on to the ball. Talent big play ability or not.

Not really that huge. The extra set of legs sure helps but he hasn’t jumped off the page as a major difference maker. Plus we added Diggs

Coach said they are close to beginning discussions about the possibility of laying the ground work for a tentative return.

Even if he's eligible it's pretty clear now that he's not what everyone thought he would be coming out of high school. Average backs have made just as many good highlight runs as he has.

Give it up already. He is not going to breakout. The hype and expectations this guy continues to get is unreal. Any contributions he makes is a positive. But we have plenty of running backs to rely on without him. I like Kaleb Jackson, Noah Cain, and Josh Williams. Any contributions from the others is just icing on top of the cake.

It would definitely help the RB room if he were able to play but he has been one of the least dependable players I can remember. I’m glad BK went and got Diggs which also shows BK doesn’t have a ton of confidence in Emery either.

He hits the edge in OT in 2011, scores, and doesn’t step out.

Bama doesn’t get a do over

Oh Emery why were you not cleared in 2011 lol

Time for Emery to move on. Nothing but distractions from him the whole time he’s been here

You are so close to the end Emory. Don’t fumble away your last chance literally, lol

Like most every one else, after 4 years of waiting I’m hoping for a breakout year for Emery. But did I miss something? Has the everlasting eligibility problem been solved for at least a semester or two, for sure? If so, let’s hope he holds on to the ball, beats out Diggs, Jackson, Cain and Williams for a great ending ride at LSU.

Sorry, but if it takes 4 years on campus for you to "get your shite together", just go.

You probably dont have the mentality you need to be counted on.
