Obviously there are alot of scenarios with the end of this season. We could make a long run in the Tournament or we can make a long NIT run or tomorrow could be Andre's last college basketball game. I wanted to tell you guys thank you for your contributions to an impactful four yrs for Dre and our family.

We started visiting the Rant Dre's senior yr of high school and it hasn't stopped since. We are basketball lifers so we eat up anything related to it. My Mother is retired so she'd spend days and nights eating up every tread basketball related my dad would print treads out from work etc. The Rant became an important extension of the game. Right after games we'd go str8 to the rant, before games we'd do the same.

Some of you guys became fixtures in our everyday convos. Names like SOUTHOFSOUTH, LESTER EARL, BRITGRL, just to name a few, we felt like we knew some of you through the rant. I can hear my mom calling saying "SOS got his preview up did u read it?" "Did you read what Lester said".

Whether you had good things to say or bad things to say, you still had an opinion and cared enough to express it, a man has to respect that. At the end of the day we enjoyed reading any dialogue concerning this team whether we agreed or not. So I appreciate this site and all the Ranters. I salute you all

Im sorry I didn't come find you Saturday. I was sitting the section behind y'all and almost went and said hello.

It's a pleasure to have a family like yours in the Tiger family. No matter how this season ends, Andre has been a Tiger favorite for a long time and I really hope to see him in the PMAC as an alumni guest sooner or later!

I don't say much here, but I wanted to make sure I expressed my appreciation for Dre. Loved watching him play and shoot 3's from the parking lot Definitely the kind of guy you like to have as part of your program and university as a student athlete. Took every role he was given in stride and made the best of it. Hope to see him frequent the pmac as an alumni.

Really gonna miss Dre next year. It's been a real treat to see him progress from his freshman year into the player and man he is today. Best of luck to Dre and your entire family. Keep us posted on his status once he's done here at LSU.

I'm with an earlier post which stated "he deserved better". He got caught up in a coaching change and I was really hoping with the in flux of new talent this year we would make a run for the seniors. 'Dre played with a lot of heart and gave it is all. Going to miss him and I wish all the best for him in the future...

Don't post much, but thought I would let you know that my son (4 years old) has watched a few games with me, and for some reason attached himself to #10... In other words loves the guy. We watched "The Pistol" one day and then watched a BBall game the next evening, and he has been a big fan of LSU BBall since. He always calls himself "#10 Andre Stringer." Now every time we go to the gym or dribble a ball around the house, he tells me he is with LSU and he's "#10 Andre Stringer" and I'm with the Denver Nuggets(???). Anyway, God bless the Stinger family, and best of luck to Andre in the future.

Thank you, and Andre is a great representative of LSU basketball. I hope the team gets to make a run in whichever tourney they're invited to. I'm glad our fans were respectful and will continue to be of our coaches and student athletes. Never know who's reading.

Andre is one of my favorite tigers of all time, he will be missed.

His jump shot is a truly thing of beauty.
