No it won’t, he’ll go to another program and they’ll worship the ground he walks on at ESPN. He won’t learn anything from this. He is soft mentally.

The problem is we’re all to scared to say anything bc like a beta boy walking chasing some chick, you hang onto everything to make sure she never leaves—but she always does.

Always defensive Coach O just couldn't help himself, O shut the door on a potential return.

Ed Orgeron is a dumpster fire of a coach.

LMAO at a bunch of grown men judging a kid for a decision he's making in the best interest for himself.

Was told yesterday this is over 2nd hot piss test. O was covering for him with the body banged up story. Kid freaked out over second failed test. Compliance DEPT strikes again.

O could have just said he wanted to keep the reasons private.

An obvious downside to being a extremely candid coach.

He wouldn't be leaving over a one game suspension. Come on now.

O was indeed covering for him. 2020 is the year that keeps on giving (or taking away).

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

Transfer rules have changed drastically, and he could possibly use a variety of things as cover to get out of this, is my understanding. "Opting out" now sets that up.

Can LSU block a transfer to certain schools? Not sure how covid eligibility works.

Gilbert had a chance to walk back his body hurting statement after the blowback yesterday and meeting with O again, and stuck by it apparently. He’s just soft.

Basically if he is granted a waiver for being "homesick" or failing a drug test, we might as well as free agency is college football.

Guys like him don't grow on tress.



He's a great talent, but obviously lacks heart & desire. I'd be happy with someone who has those attributes. We won a NC last season with a far less talented TE who played & worked his arse off.

the lack of awareness and understanding of mental health is disturbing.
