Let’s not lose sight of the bigger picture, no other team has this happening to them.

There is a cancer in the locker room.

It’s not about use, he has 35 catches this year. The kid is homesick and misses his family.

O isn’t even trying to act like he’s got a chance at coming back.

the body hurting thing is just a cover story. i just don't think he wants to be at LSU. just a combination of being homesick and the program being a total dumpster fire. if he goes to a well run program i have no doubt he will put up big numbers.

Hopefully he stays. We desperately need talent and depth so the coonasses suggesting he shouldn’t come back are complete fools

He's not going to though.

He's going to go to UGA or Clemson or Bama.

His quitting the way he did will be a dark cloud hanging over his head for a good while. Good luck to him, but we'll just get other talented guys who want to play.

it's not true. and O did not favors for us keeping him by saying that. now current and former players are shitting on him for it. why would he want to come back here. O could have just said he wanted to keep the reasons private.

You are right. He didn’t opt out. He quit.

Opt out = You quit.

I want him to stay, but I think it’s really shitty to quit on your team/program.

It’s one thing for someone getting ready for the draft, but a completely different level of shitty for someone like Arik.

There’s no way to spin it, this is an awful look for Arik.

Unless he gets a waiver won't he have to sit out a year?
