re: Five LSU juniors reportedly leaning toward early draft entry

I'll be glad when Ego and "The Freak" are gone. Neither played up to the legacy of their position.

I'm not sure what you mean by, "the legacy of their position." Do you mean they didn't play as well as their predecessors played? That would be a hell of a way to judge a players worth. If you mean they didn't play up to their potential, then I may agree, particularly where Freak is concerned. I personally would be happy to see both of them come back for their senior year. Just because they didn't live up to their hype as juniors doesn't mean they couldn't come back and have monster senior years. A player's experience level is critical to his development and performance. I don't get fans that wish away players that have the physical attributes and another year under their belts. Just because they stay doesn't mean the coaches have to start them. I would rather have an experienced senior behind my starter as a raw freshman.

This is the kind of shite I'm talking about. Get into trouble "I'll be glad when they're gone", don't play up to standards but still stay out of trouble, "I'll be glad when they're gone".

I didn't like how Welter played or Mills, or Loston for the most part, or Barrow or Johnson and Ego for being weak upfront, but I won't be "glad they are gone" just so because they didn't meet their standard. I'd hope all of them come back to make us experienced and a veteran team. I also know that we have to trim some to sign this ridiculous class, so I am not pissed if they leave.

So, you don't think they can progress and get better? If they are the best we have you wouldn't want them to stay?
