re: A Open Letter (go ahead and cringe if you must) to Chase

More than any guy we’ve had that has a great sophomore season, it makes sense for Chase to sit out. I certainly want him to play but his decision will have no effect on my fond memories of him as a Tiger. That being said coming back would put him in the Devin White tier of guys that make me proud to be an LSU fan. I think overwhelmingly he will be loved here whatever he chooses.

I wonder if White regrets not staying. He had every reason to go, but to miss being a part of the greatest season in CFB history, cement yourself as the best MLB in LSU history and have a lifetime of memories reaching the summit with your teammates has to be something he thinks about.

This is what Devin said before ultimately choosing to go pro:

“I said at media day I wanted to be the best linebacker of all time at LSU,” White said at a media opportunity. “I don’t know if I’ve reached that yet. I want to win a championship for Louisiana. I see the videos of guys like Matt Flynn kissing the trophy and wonder, ‘Why can’t that be me?'”
