re: We are retiring the "we are young" stuff for 2 years at least, right?

No offing way. Just as many will leave at the end of this year as have the last two or three years. Les has created a pattern that the kids understand. Sign w LSU, you'll be drafted early and the money will come early. He's done a great job but they're going to go if the pros will draft them. As long as he stays here LSU is going to be good BUT THEY ARE GOING TO GO IF they are good enough to be drafted…..
