Which ones?


Alabama, FSU, UF all have around the same amount of underclassmen leaving this year. Last year, LSU was an anamoly in the amount of draftable underclassmen.

Do you honestly think LSU doesn't use the NFL pipeline as a recruiting tool? Highly recruited kids are here for 3 years, not 4.


Yes they use it, because it is a truth. It's not a self-fulfilling prophecy though. You think LSU was selling 3 years and to the draft to guys like Turner when they were recruits? That wasn't one of LSU's strong points when they were in high school.

Thanks for proving the point.

I have no doubt LSU, Alabama, FSU, U$C are all using 3 years then NFL to recruits.

When you recruit "blue chip" recruits, any program is going to use being NFL ready ASAP as a recruiting tool.

I'm not even sure why you're arguing.

Last I checked, Bama and Florida were each losing four. We're already at six and likely seven.

A&M is losing two, Auburn is losing two. Ole Miss is losing one.

This is VERY bad for LSU's ability to compete in the SEC West. This is two years in a row. Mass defections. Many of whom are making mistakes.
