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

I agree with you. I wish people would stop posting about guys who have made there decisions to go to Bama. I know we need and want players that believe in playing for LSU!

I think Fournette is another great example of a player that showed the courage and leadership ability to not take the easy road, but to stay at home and fight for the home team.
