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.
