Remember how he skipped his senior year and missed the greatest season in LSU football history?

He made a business decision. Marshall did the same. Neither were wrong. I will always remember Marshall snagging the CHAMPIONSHIP clinching TD in the Clemson game.

I have heard that Devin wanted to return for senior season but Coach O told him no...You are going to be a top 5 pick. In my opinion, they both did the right thing. If you are a guaranteed first round pick: congratulations, thank you and I wish you the best...once the season is completed.

Remember when Jaylon Smith did that then got hurt and missed out on millions?

You’re not in his shoes, don’t pretend to make decisions on his behalf. This team has quit, what is he staying for?

Totally different circumstances and not a fair comparison. White's season wasn't a covid year and the team was still intact and didn't have players opting out left and right. LSU enters the game against Alabama without 5 of its best players - 4 opted out and QB is injured. The reality is if your son stood to lose millions of dollars due to a possible injury and was a sure first round pick, you would recommend your son leave also. This is not about a football game! This is a business decision that could cost a player millions of dollars!

But the again Devin White has never been mistaken for being thoracically challenged in any way.

Devin was a different breed. A throwback. A guy who John Ed Bradley’s book “ it never rains in tiger stadium” internal war on his love for lsu football and his career ending. I truly believe Devins decision to go pro will go down as his toughest.

Yeah, but you forget the team was hitting its stride and was playing well. The team is a clown show this year.

I memba. Now we have kids that quit the team in the preseason and three games before the season has ended. That’s what is called abandoning your teammates.
