Man...I don't see him as a tweener at all. At least not a tweener in the negative sense.

Dude has the physical skill set to be an Isaiah Simmons type linebacker. Someone I'd consider more of a Swiss army knife than a typical tweener.

Pretty confident he was a freshman. He will put on muscle. Just saying...

I meant a tweener more in terms of how they used him last year. He obviously wasn’t quite ready to be a full-time LB yet and he was a bit small for the specific role they gave him. Yet he was still effective at it. He definitely has talent if he can put it all together.

Except he hasn’t

He didn’t want to play LB like LSU wanted

Then left the program when he was going to get suspended, and hasn’t done anything at TCU

That’s not the kid you want to take back.

Brooks was one of the better “Get the gat” getters.

For that reason alone you take him back.

As bad as 2020 and covid have screwed with my head, I'm willing to give anyone who may have made a bad decision this year a second chance.

I’m all for second chances I just don’t think this warrants it

LSU has had players get in trouble & stick with the program. I just think it sends the wrong message

What makes you say that this situation doesn’t warrant it? Do you have inside information on anything anyone else doesn’t know?
If it’s just that he may get in trouble and be suspended, and transferred, I can tell you that there was more to it than that.

Nobody ever had the option to leave, play immediately, and not lose a year of eligibility before.

If he doesn’t count to 2021’s numbers, taking him back if for no other reason than to add depth, is a no brainer.

I have no inside info but I think I can say with great confidence it has to do with weed.

We need bodies to fill out the roster and a former 5 star prospect who definitely flashed a few times as a freshman should be welcomed back with open arms.

They do need bodies but just take a freshman. Not some one you can’t count on

They had him as a starter this offseason


They had TK McClendon as a starter too. Doesn’t mean I want him back

Especially if you have to burn another spot in the 25.

Who cares what you want. He played well as a freshman. I’m not really into taking players back after they quit on their team but under the circumstances LSU might have to take a different route?
