Those 2 guys would have seen the field as freshmen at LSU. Will get lost on the depth chart at Bama and never play. Gotta let people screw up their own lives if that's what they want to do. Stop talking about these fools!!!


Screwing up their lives? They'll win a couple championships, start by junior year, have 1 great year, and still get drafted very high in the NFL draft. That doesn't sound like "screwing up their lives". Sounds very very smart to me.

They made the easy decision for themselves. Coming here would have required being leaders and likely dealing with some humbling experiences as they play a lot early on. Not everyone has the makeup to endure that kind of pressure.

You can't fault these guys for going where they can learn for a couple years and just be another face on a defense. If they end up not living up to the hype like a Hootie Jones, then nobody will say much. Expectations for them would have been higher here as individual players. Bama is at a point where they just plug in another 5 star guy if one isn't working out.

Don't blame the kids at all. Not every recruit has the courage of a Kevin Faulk, who came here when we were trying to re-establish ourselves.

Fortunately for us, if anyone can maximize talent at a position, it's Aranda with linebackers. Get him some good solid players and we will be just fine

Boy, you need to put money on this, you will win a fortune. Odd's are a lot of that WILL NOT happen. Less than 1% of all college athletes make it to the n.f.l.

I think people need to move on from them. LSU will be fine w/o them. We are going to find quality line backers. The key to defense is defensive line. I will trade getting Wilson over these two any day and twice on sunday. When you dominate the line of scrimmage, you win. When we had Nevis, Francois, Dorsey, brocker, mingo, etc causing havoc, no one had to worry about the linebackers.
