Valentine update.... Looking good boys

Jimmy with the scoop
Former #LSU DT Travonte Valentine inching closer to a return LINK LINK
quote:
The LSU football roster is loaded with some of the nation's top players, All-American candidates and even a Heisman Trophy candidate.
One glaring hole, though, is at the nose tackle position, but the Tigers may be just weeks away from securing that difference maker its talented defense lacks.
Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College defensive tackle Travonte Valentine continues to make strides in the classroom and off the field, as he completed two summer courses, both resulting in B grades, with just two more to go, according to a source. Valentine remains focused on his return to Baton Rouge, stating that he is 330 pounds right now, which we verified with trainers and coaches, signaling a shift in the talented player's off the field efforts to revitalize what was a promising career.
An important note here is that completion of these summer courses, with passing grades, would make for an immediate reinstatement to the LSU program, according to numerous sources, including Valentine. His arrival is projected as the first week in August, giving him roughly a month of working with the team prior to the season's start against Wisconsin on September 3. The thought is that Valentine, who is a disruptive force and gifted football player, would immediately push for playing time, and likely an insertion into the LSU starting lineup, assuming he does everything he is asked to do.
Valentine remains eager to return to Baton Rouge and suit up for the Tigers--which would be the first time he is able to do so, after being ruled ineligible by the SEC his freshman year and being dismissed from the team due to multiple rule violations shortly thereafter. When a source was asked what he thought the chances of Valentine suiting up for LSU this year, he simply replied, "it's going to happen."

This dude is going to be our Glenn Dorsey type we've been lacking in the middle, a beast of a run stopped with QB pressures and interior domination.

Will the almighty powerful SEC state otherwise? They cannot be trusted.

Pretty sure he has been cleared by the league.
It's happening.
