I guess the day of the student athlete is dead. I can see leaving if your goingmin the first 50 or so picks. Other than that, stay in school and try to improve your draft status. I know there are injury risks, but it seems that everyone leaves as soon as they get a chance. Is that an indictment of our program or is just the type of kids we get? Are they getting advice from our coaching staff about staying?

Jordan Jefferson's little brother tweeted that Simon, Reid, and loston were gone ecstatically. Does he think he's starting or something? So that's great I guess he doesn't want to have the help of any experienced guys when he gets here. Sounds like he's almost as concerned with his team as his selfish brother.

No. We just have good players that want to get paid. It would be like someone offering you a winning lottery ticket and you saying no thanks.

Maybe the slotted rookie payscale makes it more reasonable to come out early? Sure you get more money the higher you go, but the huge paydays with a ton of guaranteed money are gone. Maybe the thought process is get the clock ticking on the rookie NFL contract ASAP so the player can get to his 2nd NFL contract and get thebig money a year sooner. Maybe lsu is cutting edge in this approach?

Assuming you know you are going to get drafted, I don't see the point in trying to improve your draft status any more. The rookie salary scale really reduces the payoff of staying.
