LSU should’ve pursued him harder. He was a damn good player and a big game performer.
LSU signed Cory Powell and Lester Earl the same yer. Powell did not qualify academically and went to a junior college.
What has never been clear is why Lester wanted to leave LSU at mid season of his freshman year. The story was that Old Roy Williams got to him while LSU and Kansas were both at a holiday tournament. Was Lester unhappy about his situation at LSU or was he just an easily influenced kid?

I suspect it was because his older brother was getting more playing time than he. He was supposed to be the star and his psyche couldn't handle the truth.
He was vastly over rated.
IMO, we shouldn't hold it against him. He probably had no-one he could depend on for guidance.
Hope he is doing well.

Didn’t realize Powell signed with us I know he went out west somewhere and played well. As far as Earl leaving who knows, we weren’t that good he had a lot on his shoulders and wasn’t producing offensively. Maybe he thought going to a contender and being a role player would be easier for him? I don’t know but from his decisions he seemed like an unsure kid who couldn’t handle pressure.
