Losing players to draft...

I understand these kids all make decisions that are best for their particular situations, but it seems that at LSU, its the trendy thing to do. Some schools do a better job at keeping kids then others. But doesn't it seem that college football is being watered down like college basketball? Kentucky bb signs the best class every year, they all play one year and are off to the Draft. We are losing half our team every year, so will we ever achieve any stability?

I'm really glad you posted this. This is a topic that needs to be discussed and has never been mentioned.

The people that say this don't have a clue as to what's going on at other schools around the country. Bama has already had 4 underclassmen declare for the draft on defense alone.

This is the new stability. It is a new paradigm.

Look around college football, players are leaving before their eligibilty is up. FSU, Alabama, UF, USC, etc... are all losing underclassmen this year

So LSU loses 42.5 players every year?

Because you keep up with LSU.

To a lesser degree, but yes. It's not going to change. Lots of college coaches have stated they're in a three year time table with players now, and are recruiting as such.

Would you rather have a team that pumps out NFL talent on the reg with a high turnover rate (on par with other elite programs), or have a team that doesn't pump out NFL talent where everyone says 4 years then opens a used car lot?

LSU does a better job of educating their players so that they make the right decision, which is to go to the draft as soon as possible in nearly all cases.

Has anyone done a count, seeing how many early departures we have has since say, 2010, compared to other universities?

Over the past five years, LSU (17 underclassmen), Alabama (13), Florida (11), Georgia (11) and South Carolina (eight) lead the list.
