People still saying this are just stupid. We have 16 guys leave early over the last two years. Everyone that keeps throwing out that number count Mathieu and Wing who were both kicked off the team. So really we have had 14 players leave early the last two years. Bama has had 9. 14-9 is not close to being double.

LSU nearly doubles the rest of college football with early entrees to the NFL in the last two seasons.

It's definitely a bigger trend now in college football. Even Stanford has players leaving early. So everybody is having to deal with it.

But LSU did lose more players early to the draft last year than the next two highest teams combined (and that's even if you throw out Honey Badger and Honey Wing). LSU tripled Bama last year in the amount of guys that left early. This year, Bama is catching up (I believe they have 5 so far). But even still, adding the numbers up from the last two years, LSU basically doubles Bama. LSU had more than double the amount any other team had last year. They will double most teams this year too, but not all.

You can't blame players for wanting to jump at the chance to make $$$ if it seems likely. Of course, I want players to stay, but it's not my future. People should just be happy that Collins is staying. That's big. Some LSU fans pay big $$ and leave games early then jump on players for leaving early to get $$$. Maybe we should go back to school.
