Not surprising. You should edit your title regarding Mills

Best of luck to him, last year really helped him. I wished he stayed though

Not surprising for either. Hope it's true though. Still seems a little speculative.

Dural and Mills - thanks for coming back.
Danielle Hunter, linebacker Kwon Alexander, Jerald Hawkins and Vadal Alexander need you guys big time.
Could be a special season IF we get the QB mess fixed.

Hey, at least we're keeping some juniors already. Dwayne Thomas should be healthy next year to contribute where Collins left off.

This is great news.

J. Collins is exactly the type of player who should leave early--great measurables that scouts will absolutely love, kid who worked his arse off and vastly improved from one year to the next, high-character kid who has given so much to LSU and will make us proud.

J. Mills is the quarterback of our secondary--I see his career on the Brandon Taylor track--started at corner, moved to safety, became a great leader and an excellent NFL prospect. Love that he's coming back to us for one more year to provide leadership and versatility. He can drop down from safety and still play a corner spot in a pinch.

Thanks to both the Jalens!

both are making the right decision imo. Mills' play dropped this year but he was still solid.

DB will be a strength again next yr with adams, mills, thomas and tre white

Anybody else thinkJ Mills goes back to CB? I think that may end being his position in the NFL. Let Rickey Jeff, Thompson, Cutrer and some of the other youngins battle it out over that other safety spot. No matter what, our mustang group has the potential to be 2011 nasty.

I have always disagreed with anyone's leaving that isn't a number one pick. I cannot blame Collins. In my opinion he has not been given the respect that he deserves. Personally I think he is a safety. Having said that, it always puzzled me why a guy with problems like Rashard Robinson started ahead of Collins, and that could happen again next year. Good luck and thanks for your hard play and determination.
