Don’t be surprised when it happens. These kids are worried about their futures beyond LSU and you can’t really blame them
I don't blame anyone for doing what they think is in their best interest.
However, I absolutely think Vincent hurt himself financially.

How does this relate to opting out? Will they be immune once they take pads off or something? Do they plan on never leaving the house until this thing passes?
I'm convinced a lot of these kids simply can't evaluate risk logically. You see it with kids who make bad decisions around the draft all the time. It takes a lot of hand holding to help kids make good decisions.
I'm afraid we'll see it here too. Kids saying "I can't risk it, assuming they aren't giving anything up and assuming they are safer when, in reality, they may be less safe."
My guess is the guys who are legitimately obese were giving reality checks about the virus. That reality doesn't change because they decide not to play football though.

It's not about death for these athletes. It's about permanent cardiac injury preventing them from having a career.

Myocarditis from viruses isn’t permanent. It’s inflammation, after a couple of months it gets deinflamed.

If anyone is at a potential health risk, would have to imagine it’s going to be +300lb linemen.

This is fact.......

Agreed......

So in the vast majority of straight forward viral myocarditis it goes away on its own with a few months of inactivity.
In the rarer, more extreme cases the disease can have long lasting effects.
Aka it’s extremely unlikely this will stop anyone from having a pro career. But sure you get on your high horse and worry away

But I bet some, if they are backups, are doing it because they are angry about not being starters and don't want to "waste a year" putting in work only to not play as much as they think they should play.
This is not it, IMO. You're less likely to play if these freshman have an additional year of experience behind them. It will be harder to get that opportunity, not easier. The only thing you will be guaranteed is to be part of the team and get "some" playing time.

I hate journos that root for the worst.

Odds of "permanent cardiac injury" are very small. Myocarditis can also be caused by the common cold.
Guess we might as well just get everybody to hop in a bubble.
X. Hill was mentioned on 104.5 today by O as really impressing early on. Not sure if he talked him up because Kardell may be out and the has to fill in, or the fact that Hill has impressed so much that it has caused Kardell to want to sit out.

I stated it was rare. I have no high horse. I'm simply making data available and correcting inaccurate information.

How does opting out benefit them? Are they trying to hide from the world?

Jimmy Smith The one that predicted 5 out of 5 Anyone can throw that out there, he's trying to be first with a story like Vitale. Names? Or it's nothing more than speculation.
Everyone predicted that. Shea Dixon, Sonny Shipp, Mike Scar, even a bunch of national experts
You’re discrediting his source because he missed on a recruiting guess? He’s probably more tied in to local talent, due to his 7 on 7 team, than most

I am honestly surprised that Chase is playing now that they have the option to sit the year out. He literally has nothing to prove for the scouts on the field.
I don’t know, maybe, just hear me out, some of these guys actually enjoy playing football and competing.
Crazy talk, huh?

I never had a huge desire to play in the NFL. My dream was wear that purple and gold on Saturday nights in Death Valley. If I had been blessed to have had the ability to do that I damn sure would have played all 4 years.
That’s why you aren’t Chase....he is after the legacy and glory men dream about. Now go do some calculations in your home office.
