re: RG Trai Turner possibly going pro

It was uncommonly high... but it's probably going to become a trend given the restructuring of the rookie wage scale. Bama loses plenty of players every season as well and they are in the hunt every year.

There's has been plenty of articles posted on this site showing the difference in money between rounds isn't that much. This kids want to get to the pros as soon as they can to capitalize on their second contracts.

Reload and compete. It's the nature of the game when you're a program like LSU.
