I named them because it seemed as if the guy was stating that if you go to Ole Miss you won't make it to the NFL...that's all

Watch the NFLN Sr bowl stuff today. Yesterday They were talking about a LT from Central Freaking Michigan being a first rounder, maybe the #2 LT in the draft.
Ole Miss is still in the SEC, a dominant player from there will have a high enough profile. CBS may broadcast the LSU-OM game because of LSU, but OM is still on TV.

You're missing my point, I started off by saying he ends up in the nfl regardless....did you not?
But you play and dominate on a big stage it does show the scouts something. It isn't a major factor in evaluations but it does help. You don't think a guy like t'eo greatly benefitted from playing well in front of a national audience? It's a factor.
He could also produce more here because he won't be the sole focus of the opposing team here vs. Ole Miss. He'd benefit by being surrounded by better talent

I agree that Nkemdiche will be a high draft pick regardless of where he goes, and Ole Miss does have some impressive defenders in the league (Willis, Hardy, etc.), but LSU will offer him more exposure.
LSU currently has 41 guys in the NFL, nine of which are defensive linemen. Ole Miss has 21, four of which are defensive linemen. LSU will more than likely have a record number of guys drafted this season, will have more nationally televised games, and has two vacancies at DE. He'll be good anywhere, but it doesn't get any better than LSU for his position.

I can't say its not a factor, but history shows he can be high profile will not being on the best team. RGIII was high profile playing for 9-3 Baylor. Clowney is pretty high profile. OM will be on TV enough if they (and RK) are good. I don't see any reason to think they will be terrible like 2011 the next couple of years. It could hurt his chances of winning stuff like the Lombardi, but other guys from lesser programs have still won awards.

I think that is grossly over rated. The best player will still get attention, at a place like LSU it would open things up for others maybe. But pro scouts adjust for stuff like that if his production is down.
He'd have a better shot at winning an SEC or NC at LSU, that's about it.

LSU is a better program and gets better players that's why we have more guys in the NFL. Some will say we have better coaching and developement, which is true, but we still have better talent. LSU's coaches would not put more guys in the NFL if they had the same talent as OM. If he is as good as advertised, he will do great where ever he goes, I would much rather he stuck with Clemson if he isn't coming to LSU
